Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I've never been asked this before, even though I got heaps of CMM2 boards from JLC prior to the virus, but this tech wants to know about the ground and power plane layers - Peter, please advise....

Thanks.  Not sure why they asked about this, as in the past.......

That list is almost as if it's for a multi-layer board. I'd have expected "Top Copper" and "Bottom Copper" to be the layers populated. Perhaps it is? I don't know.

The G2 is a four-layer, from what I can see.
Top and Bottom copper are the outside top and bottom layers, and "Ground" and "Power" are internal ground and power plane layers, so JLC were just wanting to make sure they got the power and ground layers the right way around.

Still, it's odd - I must have got JLC to make heaps of assembled boards before the virus slowed the planet to a crawl, and they never asked that question before.

Oh well.
