Electronics Production
Assignment
- 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 to the group work page and reflect on your individual page what you learned.
- Individual Assignment:
- Make and test the development board that you designed to interact and communicate with an embedded microcontroller.
Evaluation Standards
- 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.
- Uploaded your source code.
- Included a 'hero shot' of your board.

Characterization
We start by characterizing the design rules for our Roland
MDX 20.
we used 0.4mm V-bit for the traces and 1.2 Endmill for the outline.
We set the cutting speed for the to be 4mm/s, and we set the cutting speed for the
outline is 2mm/s
Our Lovely Modela with a fresh surfaced bed.
Calculating the toolpath for the design using Mods.
Viewing the toolpath.
Using 1.2mm Endmill for outline and 0.4mm V-bit for traces.
Setting the origin and start the process.
Here is our hero shot!.

PCB Production
- I fabricated my pcb design using FR1 PCB milled on Roland MDX 20
- I Used duoble face to secure the PCB to the bed of the machine
- Then I imported my PNGs into mods and set the tool diameter that I use (V-Bit 0.4mm).
- Then Then I calculated my toolpath using Mods
Then I start stuffing the PCB with the components into my PCB.
Then I testing PCB by write a simple code to check if it works.
Arduino C
#define led 26
#define btn 27
void setup() {
pinMode(btn, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
if (digitalRead(btn) == LOW) {
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
digitalWrite(led, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(led, LOW);
delay(1000);
}
} else {
digitalWrite(led, LOW);
}
}
