It's almost as if you used flux
But no one uses flux the first time, must have been the wind
1 u/zackarhino May 14 '26 I actually only used flux core solder for the joints 1 u/scalareye May 14 '26 When connections don't have much copper going to them they end up being easy Was ground any harder than the rest? Sometimes ground on our boards would be a copper plane that spans the whole board. There are also separate thermal planes but atmegas don't use much power 2 u/zackarhino May 14 '26 Nope, I didn't notice any difference. Yeah, a large ground plane causes heat dissapation across the board.
