Take an old pen and clean and hollow it. Get a non sharp, solderable bit of metal to use as the point. I used the tip of a 1/4" plug. Put your holes in your pen for the wire to get to the tip and thread the wire through. Solder the wire to the tip....
If you're using a 3D pen then apply filament to the points where the mounts meet the diffuser this will create a strong hold. Repeat this step for all 4 sides. If you're using a hot glue gun apply glue to the inside of the panel where the...
PARTS YOU NEED:For this project you will need: 3 x old CD/DVD-Roms 1 x Computer power supply 3 x Easydriver boards 1 x Arduino Uno board3 x Stepper motors2 x pieces of Wood1 x Soldering Iron1 x Soldering WireFew wires 1 x Pen or Small size drill machine...
Allow the board to cool a bit and then peel off the foil.The foil fills the pores in the thick toner areas, preventing pitting when etching. use your Xacto blade to check if the odd drill hole is also still covered by the foil, remove with the blade...
I prepped the board by wiping off any dust, and old flux with alcohol, or flux remover on a small cotton cloth, and then used my fiberglass abrasion pen to rough up the areas I was going to solder. After that I washed it again in flux remover to remove...
Before you do anything else, remove the 120r resistor from between CanH and CanL. We're going to mount the module face down on the back of the proto board and then it'll be too late. Have a look at the back of the module and see if the markings...
Upload the code and press the reset button once the upload is finished.Immediately after reset, the board will begin BLE advertising as “AMEBA_BLE_HID”. On your host device, go to the Bluetooth settings menu, scan, and connect to the board.You...
STEP 7 – ASSEMBLE DESIGNOnce the design comes through you can start to assemble your mimic. I’ve done a box here so quickly check everything fits. To fit LEDs, place LED clips through the mimic, open up the tabs with a pen so the LEDs clip into place...
I didn't like the look of the white circuit board behind the keys. It might look great on another build but I thought with the dark walnut case I had planned it wouldn't be a good fit. After looking at a few options, I ended up deciding the easiest...

Step 7: Electronic ComponentsWe are now done with the mechanical set up of our longboard. Next, we need to wire up the VESC to the batteries and receiver. It is a very straight forward procedure. Before we start, make sure all connectors are compatible....
The next step of this project was to put everything together to create a basic PCB that would contain all of the components we used to create the breadboard version, in addition to a lithium cell with a charge discharge circuit to power the XIAO module,...

The manufacturing process of homemade PCB usually consists of the following steps: 1. PCB design In this step the drawing of the board to be produced is made. It is possible to both design a new board and make copies of opensource projects. Different...
