As I mentioned in the previous entry, my OSH Park order for the v1.2 ADI board shipped, and it arrived late last week. There's not a lot to say that the photo doesn't clarify, though. The boards look good, and they even have gold-looking pads instead of the copper I was expecting. No idea if that makes any difference.
One key difference (aside from the purple solder mask, of course) from the BatchPCB boards is that these boards were not cleanly cut along the edges. You can just see, along the lower edge of the front board, a tiny postage-stamp looking tab that didn't get broken off. These leave little jagged patches along the edges of the board. It's not a big deal, but it's something to be aware of.
The turn-around is much faster than BatchPCB, and the price (given that I consistently got two copies of the board from BatchPCB) is comparable, though a bit cheaper per copy at OSH Park. I'm pretty pleased with the service, so far!
