Manufacturing In the picture, there is almost everything. 1️⃣ Digital microscope for optical checks 2️⃣ „Moonlight“ for workplace enlightenment 3️⃣ DMMs and other instruments Yes, there are missing soldering iron and other tools. For some reason, they did not fit
I presented my TS-3032-C7 temperature sensor demo on the CR2032-powered dongle. The PCB accommodates only a few components—with a focus on the lowest price possible. The first step was to capture the simplest schematic and create a layout for the
Is it still MANUFACTURING? Today, I am almost afraid to call my job manufacturing. 1️⃣ I didn’t even order a stencil. 2️⃣ I squeezed a solder paste caterpillar directly from the syringe. 3️⃣ I didn’t even use the oven. I
Stencil printing always tops the naive and primitive techniques There is no doubt and no discussion about that. The quality of the printed solder paste layer is always better. I don’t want to be known as the guy who squeezes
🎩🎩🎩 Don’t try to unsolder the entire connector! Here is a tip for all who need to unsolder the multi-pin connector from the boards. First thing first… ❗️ The value of the assembled PCB is much higher than the cost
