  • First SMT soldering

    Michael Best • 10/03/2018 at 07:53 • 0 comments

    First SMT soldering ever, the board was a mess going in, but it came out with flying colors.  This was a test of the 1.1mm solder pads for the 5050 leds.


  • LED test boards arrived

    LED pad size testing boards have arrived from OSHPark, time to try some reflow soldering

  • Solder Pad Test board

    Michael Best • 09/13/2018 at 06:04 • 0 comments

    Testing if I can put the 5050 LEDs quite close together by using a reduced solder pad size.

    Finally got my first board designed and uploaded to OSH Park

  • LED placement via scripting and modified footprints

    Michael Best • 09/09/2018 at 18:10 • 0 comments

    Finally got mmccoo's KiCad plugins working properly (partially need a particular environment, partially mistakes on my part).

    I need to send out some small prototype boards, I need to see if I can make smaller footprints for the LEDs, the default solder pads are huge, and I wonder if I can get away with smaller ones.

  • LEDs arrive

    Received the 2000 TX1818A LEDs today, crossed fingers that they will be able to talk a standard protocol.
