What happens if some of the 10k chips don't work? Or if the final PCB received doens't work? Since each chip is allocated to a person this might be a problem right?
Might be. But not necessary neet to be if you're smart and assume error rates. The chips are tested at the TSMC foundry. The PCBs will be tested electrically by the factory here. I will test the boards personally before shipping them out. So if something snaps, i will have backup chips / PCBs to send to customers. Noone will be left out, i promise that!
