Electronics Production

Updated for 2022 evaluation standards!

• Group assignment:

  • Characterize the design rules for your in-house PCB production process: document feeds, speeds, plunge rate, depth of cut (traces and outline) and tooling.
  • document your work (in a group or individually)
  • Document your work to the group work page and reflect on your individual page what you learned

• Individual assignment:

  • Make an in-circuit programmer that includes a microcontroller by milling and stuffing the PCB, test it to verify that it works.

Learning outcomes

• Described the process of milling, stuffing, de-bugging and programming
• Demonstrate correct workflows and identify areas for improvement if required

Have you answered these questions?

• Linked to the group assignment page
• Documented how you made (mill, stuff, solder) the board
• Documented that your board is functional
• Explained any problems and how you fixed them
• Included a ‘hero shot’ of your board

FAQ

Does the in-circuit programmer need to work to complete the assignment?

Answer: Yes. Your board must be recognized by the host computer and it must be able to communicate with the target board.

Do I have to include NC-files?

Answer: No.
