We knocked many doors to see if any PCB factory is willing to do a &#8220;non-sense&#8221; multi color PCB,\u00a0 it&#8217;s made reality thanks to low economy. Though the cost is pretty higher than a normal one, we took the first step after a long negotiation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Nobody knows what it will be like, we chose to try from color blocks. The RGB three colors are casted upon corresponding pins of our new Rainbowduino, adjoin to each other. The result is beyond expectation, the patterns are precisely made.\u00a0 Complex patterns should be OK, re-alignment does not seems to be a problem. Multi color is feasible, but opaque solid. (don&#8217;t expect to have some blending effect)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Why not: <\/strong> People use silkscreen and paste pre-printed marks if necessary.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Why: <\/strong>The advantage IMHO is that it&#8217;s 1) merely unique, 2)the color could go underneath components, 3) it&#8217;s a back ground color for silkscreens.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Anyway, the new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/rainbowduino-led-driver-platform-plug-and-shine-p-371.html\">Rainbowduino <\/a>you purchased now will be with 4 PCB color. We will experiment more in the future, opinions welcomed! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back to 1990s, I was quite impressed when i first time looked at a Sound<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[4],"class_list":["post-767","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-pcb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Life could be colorful as Rainbow, how about PCBs?
