Reply to "Narrow Version of DIY 317 Voltage Regulator Board, with Build Files"

Riki, Stan has made a good point about damaging the tiny copper sleeves through the board that connect the top and bottom pads, by pulling leads through.

The hole pointed out in this picture:

is the one that could be affected because it has a connecting trace on the top of the board. Presumably you soldered from the bottom, and its possible this trace is not electrically connected. An easy fix is a dab of solder on the top trace to assure connection. The other end of R1 is not affected because the connecting trace is on the bottom side of the board.

Regardless, the new gerbers that I did up for you have a much larger pattern for R1, with larger holes, so they should work way better.
