Assignements: Make FabISP

Mill FABISP


FabISP Milled and the required components.

Completed FabISP. However ........

There is a subject to think about, all over the world - named as Nativism. While, the subject itself is encompassing, let me reduce it down to "things that are available locally - ONLY". FAB ISP has been a lingering work at hand, for 2 reasons -

1) The 3.3V Diodes were not easily available locally (Pune is one of the most developed cities in India...4th or 5th may be). In fact, the local vendors treat a 3 terminal 3.3 Voltage Regulator as Zener Diode. Also, the ones that can be seen in the image (SOD 80 package) were finally found out, locally. SOD 123 is an unavailabel package in Pune city. It might be available in Mumbai, but to our surprise, vendors from Delhi (the capital of India) handed over the same regulators to us, in the name of Zenere Diodes.

2) The SMD USB Connector footprint is not available here.


Above is not to provide an escape reason. I am now modifying the FABISP, to be compatible with the local components.
