Week 4 - Electronics Production

Assignment: make the FabISP in-circuit programmer

milling - making the board

I immediately had a problem with the traces not being straight. First I thought the settings were wrong but found out it was something else.

Here are the settings I could not see anything wrong there

After some time I found the problem wich turned out to be a human error. I had failed to check if the screws were tight. As you can see on the video the screw is lose.

So that was easily fixed. And the screws were now tight and the second time the traces were looking very good.

After that (yes another human error) I picked the wrong frame so the milling bit went staight through the middle

After finding the right frame and being very focused on getting things right I forgot to change the milling bit back to 1/64

I finally managed to make a board after some attempts

placing the componauts

I have some experience in soldering so I did not run in to any trouble there.

the end resaults i ended up making two boards
