  • Just out of curiosity and to get a feel for it, what package are these resistors you are soldering? Thanks a lot, great video!

  • @cd4600 these are the 1206 package, can use smaller ones, but these are what I have on hand.....

  • Why bother? There are several online pcb houses with free tools where you could design the board quickly and have it shipped to arrive tomorrow.

  • @davidhaile ; but you still have to solder the components on.... and plus, because I can, and I do not have to wait a couple of days for shipping, I can have prototypes done within minutes...... do that with your online PCB companies...

  • @davidhaile ok so you can justify to yourself spending $121 and waiting 4 days. congrats...

    that is still a hell of a lot more money/time than what he invested into his prototype.

    i do this too (etch, not cnc though) and will never go back to ordering from somewhere for a 1off project (like 90% of the boards i make for myself).

  • do it all the time and have just finished building a board that arrived this morning. $121 for three soldermasked and silkscreened boards which arrive 4 business days after I order them. Use expresspcb. You can cut that price and time in half if you don't want soldermask or silkscreen.

    This last board has an 80MHz PIC32, USB, CAN, RS232, 500mA 3.3V, 100mA 5V, 8 status LED's, two analog inputs, and two 20-pin headers for the analog in/out board. I run two I2C's and two SPI's as well.

  • @davidhaile

    those online pcb shops are only usefull, when you want masses of the same pcb...

  • If at ALL POSSIBLE use a Digital Soldering Station with ESD Protection. SMD Components need Heat Control as well as Electrostatic Protection.

    If your Experienced like this guy, you probably know just exactly what to Not Do. If your New, You need to be Vigilant of everything you do and will do wrong to learn from. 

  • Damn neat job!

  • Well hey there Mr. Industrial soldering robot, that's some small ass shit youre doing there!
