Will they blink?

The boards are with us! Time to solder the components and check if everything works.

To make SMD prototyping boards from through-hole ones you just need some sandpaper and patience, the results are incredibly good!

The new boards are powered with LiPo Batteries, after checking there are no obvious short circuits on the board lets turn them on!

To program the sensor we use the RTIMULib-Arduino code from the repo and configured the HC-05 Bluetooth module with a baudrate of 115200 bauds.

On the PC side RTIMULib2 was used to verify the correct functionality of the board. With the GUI version running is easy to check if everything is working as expected.

The micro controller answers to our commands and there are no signs of smoke… the last test is to hook it up to the computer with the Bluetooth module.

It works!

Now it is time to populate the other boards and have more than one sensor working. So… sandpaper, soldering iron and patience.

Done!
