| May 9 at 19:50 | comment | added | winny | I would make a small PCB for the additional circuitry, wire and glue it to the “motherboard”. Is that an option to you? | |

If this is for production, you need to draw up what you want produced, as accurately as for the original PCB. Our production department used to hate 'hand mods' with a passion, and never let us forget it every time we introduced a new one. Once we got to more than 3 on a board, we would re-spin the board or they would riot. | |
