I just had a small surprise when I was assembling circuits for my master thesis project. When I was wondering why the Arduino wasn't working as expected I discovered the following "bug".

This missing soldering point is the ground for one PWM pin.

Its probably my own fault for buying cheap Arduino replacements from sainsmart instead of the original Arduino boards.
