An eclectic mix (think of it as vertical integration) of hardware design, software engineering, web, IT, and some mechanical engineering. I like making things. #electronics #3dprinting #3dcad #cam #cnc #pcb #altium If I'm doing Mastodon wrong, please LMK so I can fix! Thanks!
Made a 3D printed replacement handle for an espresso machine that a neighbor was giving away...
A few pics from my Othermill. Playing with my macro lens.
Had a short under one corner which cleared up with a touch of an iron. Everything else was great and the circuit worked!
Milled a PCB for testing a power path prioritizer, a 0.5mm pitch QFN20...
CNC'd FR1 PCB with wire ferrules to fix mis-wired connections for relays. The ferrules are a nice way to make stronger mounting pads.
Mmmm, donuts! Solder bridge, D'oh! (Donuts are stale. Had to add more flux and redo hot air...)
Received 5 PCBAs for $200, added some headers and cables, fired up Arduino for quick board bring up, killed a few ICs and tweaked a few Rs and Cs. And then everything works. A good week!

Why unit testing alone is not enough...
