Parentheses - what’s the deal with this trace?

[Doom Tusk]

So as the title suggests; what is the deal with this particular unmarked trace on the board? (Where my tweezer tips are pointed)

It's a via attaches layers through the board

Sometimes, no matter how neatly and hard you try…there’s no-way to get everything on your board laid out without using a Via. What is a Via? Simply put it connects the top layer of your board another layer, using a tiny copper plated hole allowing you to continue your trace whilst swapping...

Traces can't cross over or may be long etc so you use vias to connect them when laying out your pcb keeping it as neat as possible avoiding potential noise and so on

I see you were out of 58K resistors.

Don't kick yourself. I have probably a dozen incomplete builds waiting for components

(the rest are waiting for me to pull graphics out of my arse)

Thank you for the explanation! Still learning and was just curious.

Yeah, it’s actually a 560r, but I missed it on my parts list I made up. No worries they’re on their way along with a LM308H and couple other bits and pieces

Oh so many builds " waiting for me to pull graphics out of my arse"
