Good for what you paid

In general these are high quality boards. Good layout, well-plated through-holes, and practical design considerations are implemented. However, there are a few downsides. First, the GP24 isn't removed from the 40-pin connector (I suspect they didn't have enough room for another attachment point). A jumper can be used if necessary. But first I'm concerned about bad grounding. Only one ground connection is used (on the 40-pin connector is 8 GND). Stable bases stabilize noise. You could add footprints. (An expensive solution would be a PCB ground layer.) Also, an extra 3.3V trace could be added. With some care and jumpers,

Pros
  • Computers and Accessories
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
