4. Electronics production

For this week of electronic design, we will work with the SRM20 small format CNC, which belongs to the ROLAND brand. Let’s see our work site.

PARAMETERS AND WORK

For the elaboration of a correct work on the PCB sheets, we must take into account that they must be completely horizontal, without imperfections. Now we will open our PNG file inside fabmodules, to configure the parameters for later work. Let’s see the process.

Work Preview

Once completed with the parameter configuration, equipment calibration, we proceed to incorporate the PCB plate on the work area.

We have two samples made A and B, being the “B” the best result, remaining as evidence in our notes for the FabAcademy.

PCB CARD REPLICATION

Once we understand and know the process, we are going to work the development board as a sample, this is shared by QuentinTorres. To then solder the SMD components on the test board.

We start with the creation of the electronic track, we work with the selection of electronic components in KiCAD, once the components are selected we define the connections to create the PCB track on the Roland CNC milling equipment.

Let’s repeat our documented process
