Week 4 - Electronic Production
Assignment
- Make a in-curcuit programmer by milling the PCB
- Group: Charactarize the specifications of your PCB production process by running a test file.
PCB Milling
I am using a Modela MDX-40 which is very powerful and great for pcb milling. It also has manual speed and spindle control which makes testing it very comfortable
