I recently got my first ever pcbs manufactured, with loads of helpful input from forum members. I made a line amp board and a couple simple adapter boards. I used jlcpcb and I was quite happy with how the boards turned out!
Now I'm looking at a more complex circuit (a compressor, +/-28v and -- I believe -- roughly 90mA current draw from the PSU, which is separate). I'm wondering if you all have preferences about some of the specs when getting a board manufactured for [non-commercial] use in one of your builds -- HASL vs ENIG, 1oz vs 2oz copper, 1.6mm vs thicker boards, etc. I know that these variables all have their pros and cons in a given application and I've done a little research on them, so I'm not asking you to prescribe anything for my board per se, just wondering if you have any strong feelings or "safe bets" or what-have-you. Any thoughts are welcome!
