Electronics production

Objective

This week's assignmenet is to make a FabISP in-circuit programmer by using the Modela CNC desktop machine.

I started by downloading the Fab Modules from here and followed the instructions in order to install it properly.

I opened the Fab Modules and loaded the traces.png file.

I tried to make sure that the Modela is clean by using a vacuum cleaner.

I picked up a PCB and sticked on the bed of the Modela on top of an Acrylic using double face tape.

I started the milling process using the 1/32 end mill and cut the board using the 1/16 end mill.

I put all the components in their places and soldered them.

Now it's the time to load the firmware. So, I connected to the board to my computer and to an ATmel programmer in order to load the firmware.
