+# tests
+
+all traces will be 10mm wide
+	- each track should handle around 6.5A of current @ 10c internal and 12.7A external
+all pcbs will be 1oz copper
+all pcbs will be 4 layer FR4
+all other areas of the PCB will have a ground plane
+all traces will be 100mm after the start of the connector
+
+# atturbes to test
+
+- VARIBLES (independent):
+	- EXPOSED SOLDER MASK
+		- thin layer of solder
+		- thick layer of solder 
+	- VIA STICHED
+	- GROUND PLANE(S)
+
+- TRACES:
+	- TOP LAYER	
+		- 12.7
+	- MIDDLE LAYER
+		- 6.5
+	- TOP 2
+		- 19.2
+	- MIDDLE 2
+		- 15
+	- TOP AND BOTTOM
+		- 25.4
+	- 3 LAYER NO TOP
+		- 25.7
+	- 3 LAYER NO MIDDLE
+		- 31.9
+	- ALL LAYERS
+		- 38.4
+
+# what to measure:
+
+- 4 probe test for resistance
+- current until trace has heated up by 10c above ambient
+
