Challenges
With assistance, it was only after the fourth milling that I got it correctly done.
The first milling’s settings were incorrect and needed readjustment, since it milled contours extremely too close, making it difficult to pin point where respective components fit in.
During the second milling the bit broke midway through the task.
My third milling also failed to give the desired outcome because I set the wrong “Z” parameter; one that was too deep.
Components were soldered onto the board, and I faced some difficulty in soldering the pin connector into place.
Due to lack of a 0 ohm resistor I was advised to set in place of that component’s position a jumper made out of wire.
Programming
The circuit board did not program and it was suspected that it had shorted.
I am yet to work with a digital multimeter to uncover what the problem may be.
