added board fab

README.md

@@ -125,9 +125,39 @@ OK, actually I want to keep the silk really clean. Things should be beautiful.
 
 I sent these out, and sent an order to digikey for parts. Now some waiting. Here's a list of notes, as they occur, for next time.
 
+## Fab: the board
+
+OK, I got these boards in from the fab. Noice. I also splurged for the solder paste stencil (spending the CBA's money, thanks CBA!) - actually it's only $15 to get a stencil, and it saves me 2hr/board that I assemble, so if time = money... well. 
+
+![fab stencil and board](https://gitlab.cba.mit.edu/jakeread/mkbldcdriver/raw/master/images/fab-stencil-and-board.jpg)
+
+I'm well into reflowing boards (it's amazing, and has a surprisingly low overhead - highly recommended) and this is kind of the next step. The stencil lets me apply all of my solder paste at once, a huge time-saver, and prevents me from accidentally applying too much and shorting pins together. [Here is a great tutorial](https://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/58) from Sparkfun on how to do this.
+
+After I lay the paste down, it takes about ~35 minutes to lay the components down. If I did this in parallel, I would guess I could do 10 boards in ~1.5 hours, probably less if I got really into the zone and had a nice workstation.
+
+In any case, here's the back of one of those DirectFets and it's associated footprint to the left. Here you can see the heckin' silicone die RIGHT THERE underneath the tin. I'm not super sure that I nailed this footprint, so we'll see what happens when I try to boot it up.

+A group of components pre-reflow:

+
+And afterwards - I am excited that these 56-HTSSOP pins on the DRV8302 are not welding together. Go solder paste, go.

 ## Incremental Notes
  - 2.2uF @ 100v -> 1206 smallest available package. Can replace with 1uF or up package. 
- - 
+ - Would via to heat-pad underneath fets, next time. could also go to 2oz copper but have to push out to 0.2mm spacing.
+ - VCC Net could be happier - see pinch pts... in many places.
+ - Tented Vias, or move away from FET
+ - No Thermal Relief on Power In / Big Fet Pads
+ - Push output plugs right to edge - the input gpio header is right on edge, it's a nice minimal look (y)
 
 # Footnotes
 1. Part Number. Searching Digikey (or octopart, or what have you) for bits is an art, kind of. It's intimidating, but offers much gold at the end of the rainbow.
