Assignment

• To design the in-circuit programmer (ISP) by milling the PCB.

Introduction about PCB

Electronic circuits in engineering and industry are normally manufactured by using printed circuit boards (PCBs). These boards are made up of special materials that do not conduct electricity such as fiber and glass. The circuits are designed on the boards with copper tracks instead of wires for the conduction of electricity between the electronic components.

GROUP ASSIGNMENT: CHARACTERIZE THE DESIGN RULES OF YOUR PCB PRODUCTION PROCESS

In this week ,we have Learn about PCB fabrication and milling. We have Choose to work on SRM 20 machine for PCB Milling. So we had to charcterize the design rules like what minimum distance in-between traces can be detected by PCB milling machine or not , and what effect does the width of trace posses while Milling. Below is attached the board we made as a group assignment. We found it in fab academy weekly notes.

Generate the RML files by using Mods

There are few steps for generating RML files.

• Open the mods.cba.mit.edu
• Right click on Mods Icon
• Go to the Programs open to the Open Server Program
• Choose the Roland SRM-20 PCB-PNG.
• For Saving the rml File we Removed the Web Socket Device and the Save file.
• Right click on the Mods Space and Open the Module, Open Server Module, Select and the File Save.

• Image Show that How to Use the Mods for Generating the rml

  Generated RMl File

  

  Now Open the SRM-20 Machine

  For Milling with Roland SRM-20 we are using VPanel software, it has a direct wired connection with the machine. Following image shows the GUI of this software.

  Set the Origin x, y,z (0,0,0) Milling the Trace and set the Bit(1/64) and for Outer (1/32)

  

  Put the Trace File for the Milling

  Click Cut on the control panel. the Add the File for the Milling

  

  While Milling the Of Test file

  

  After the complete traces Put the Outer File using Same Process

  Test File After Milling

  

  Individual Assignment: Make an in-system programmer(ISP) by milling the PCB using ATTINY-44

  PCB ISP Programmer PNG file are taken from the Fab Academy 2020

  

  Generate RML files for ISP Programmer ATTINY-44

  As we already have milled the PCB layout of Test File. So now We repeat same Process, for milling The ISP Programmer. so, we need RML files. we can generateRML files using HERE .

  

  Outer layer Of ISP Programmer

  

  RML File of the ISP Programmer

  

  Now I want to Mill the ISP Programme USING SRM-20 Machine

  So First Replace the old PCB Board with New PCB Board

  

  Same Proccess Test file Milling is Repeat for ISP Programer. the Final result Of ISP Programmer :

  

  There are some soldering tools I used to solder my PCB Programmer ISP.

  • Soldering Iron
  • Soldering wire
  • Tweezer

  while Soldering the Circuit

  

  After the Soldering ISP Programmer ATTINY-44

  

  Programming to ISP

  for the ISP Programing, I am using Ubuntu OS Operating system based computer to program my fab ISP in Ubuntu. Here Procedure is defined, So the part is programming, for programming ISP circuit, so lab has issue on PC that is already installed Ubuntu operating system and I have Followed these Instructions.

  For programming ISP using Ubuntu a brief step-by-step process is explained HERE

  the Software’s and drivers necessary can be downloaded from below mentioned Links:

  First Downlaod The FAB ISP Firmware

  After completing above steps correctly, go to Terminal of Ubuntu and Type following commands:

  • make clean
  • make hex
  • make fuse
  • make program

USB ATTINY-44 Connections for the ISP Program:



Now These are the Intuctions for the ISP Progam that we have to fellow to up the ISP.

After the Downlaod and Add the File , Libararies so On and set the Path of ISP Firware :



Now its time to Make fuse



Now Make Program :



Now It Complete the Program in ISP ATTINY-44 Programer:



Now Use the Lsusb Command to show the Attiny Borad verifications:



After This I have test My Design Board on the Window, So My design Board is working on the Window



Removing Zero resistors (jumpers)

After Successful programming its turn to remove zero jumpers to make circuit as a programmer.



Further more Installing the drivers and test the ISP Programmer: .

So I need to install the drivers for the programmer. We can download from this site HERE

After the Installation the Drivers and Now My Design ISP Is working Successfully.
