Not everyone can own a pcb mill or a cnc machine. Sometimes using a dremel to drill holes becomes tedious. If you are like me an etch your own pcb prototypes, drilling the holes is sometimes the reason you buy pizza a case of energy drinks and invite some friends over and hook them into helping you finish the drilling.
The "PressDrill 9000" provides a Monitor , Camera and an actuated Plunge feature by a foot pedal that will improve your at home pcb fabrication.
Been busy, but now deciding what Camera to use? I have salvaged a camera from an old laptop and was able to get it working. Thankfully the camera was a USB laptop camera. i simply Probed and was able to determine what each pin was. I only needed to add a 22ohm (red, red, black) resistor to "enable" the camera. Take a look.
Currently mounting the camera to "prototype". Be back in a few...
Picked up this broken microscope today. Decided to use it as the "feeler" for the pressdrill concept. added my flex attachment for my rotary tool and fits like a charm.
Looking at an old microscope I had laying around I shall use to prototype as faze out any flaws that i have overlooked.
Main concern is the motor Type,placement and attaching properties that are gonna be useful. Here's so that tomorrow is a productive day.
We need to get a simple design going. Check out some of my process.
