Electronics Production

This week assignment is to create the FabISP in-circuit programmer using to the schematics provided.

I used hello.ISP.44.res as it was the board that could be done with the available components at the Lab.

PCB Fabrication using Modela

I used the legacy Fab Modules to do this until we get the new Fab Modules installed.

We tried the HTML5 Fab modules and it had some bugs in it with small boards so I decided to go with the old Fab Modules.

Engraving the traces

First I placed the PCB material on the board using super glue.

Preparing the board for milling

After installing the 1/64 end mill, I used Fab Modules to position it at the lower left corner of the material.

Using the Mill traces (1/64) setting, I've loaded the "hello.ISP.44.res.traces.png", made the path, the .rml and hit "send it!"

Milling the board

Cutting the board

Soldering the components
