5. Electronics production

This week my laser cutter arrived!

I spent a day getting it set up in what my kids refer to as my “minilab”.

I also started to put together the enclosure for the milling machine. My 9 year okd and I concur that is a poor design and he immediately suggested putting the acrylic in the natural slots left by the aluminum frame.

we were atating for the week at a place withoot internet whhch made everything slightly more peaceful but more difficult at the same time.

here is a link to my fabisp board for my htmaa

Step 1: set up yhe machine

Step 2: order electronic componenrs

Step 3: Mill traces

Step 4: Wash the board

Step 5: locate components

Step 6: Stuff the board

Step 7: wash the board

Code Example

Use the three backticks to separate code.

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
  // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
}
