The joys of mislabeling circuits

You’d think we would have learned by now about the chaos that comes from misspelling component labels in the schematics… Just last week, I had to explain to a coworker why our ‘relay’ had turned into a ‘rely’ in the BOM. It’s hilarious until someone tries to order it and the supplier sends chocolate instead of capacitors.

I once ordered a ‘rely’ too! Ended up with an entire shipment of candy bars instead of resistors. :sweat_smile: Double-check those BOMs, folks.

I once had a schematic that labeled a capacitor as a ‘capstone’ — guess what? The supplier was totally confused! Always best to proofread before sending that order, right? @jphillips25, ever double-check your work with a fresh set of eyes?

Haha, I once messed up a part number and received a box of rubber ducks; :duck: Proofreading really does save the day. Ever found anything weird in an order?
