Solder and wire everything. The case and PCB design guarantee, that no additional screws or fittings are needed: Everything fits together thanks to the custom 3D printed case and soldering the 8x8 LED display on the PCB will hold the PCB and the case...
No is the time to fit everything into the Head of the lamp. To fit everything in this Tight space you must DREMEL some pieces out of the Metal head. With a DREMEL this is done in around 5 min. Your Lamp Head must look like this before installing the...
Assemble your LCD sandwich with the EL panel on the back, then the polarizer, then the glass. You can use some scotch tape around the edge to hold everything in place. I used some putty to stick the whole thing to the PCB, but you could also use some...
I bent the LED strip in half as close to the PCB as possible, and taped that to the outside of the roll. I then taped circular pieces of cardboard to the ends to block light and taped everything together with significant amounts of [inexpensive] masking...
The off the shelve HAKKO controller from Ebay comes shrink wrapped with display and buttons integrated on the PCB. To make it more useable and have everything integrated into a nice case, I first desoldered the display such that I can put it on the front...
If you opted to build a complete project like i did, now is the time to asseble everything together.The case has specific slots for the battery, display and the PCB to fit in so keep that in mind in case you decided to use different components
Completed PCB: Once I had all the components and had received the PCB, I assembled it and carried out some basic multimeter tests ensuring no short circuits were present (mainly ensuring no pins had shorts to the ground plane). No issues were present...
1. Cover the cell with Thread to make it bit not ugly.2. Place all the components on perf board before soldering to make sure everything fits under the board size.3. Solder NE555 ic with other passive components including the tactile switch, then solder...
Carefully take stock of the interior of the movement. Some movements have most of the gears sitting on a tray that you can lift out away from the PCB and coil. The Quartex movement has everything encased in a plastic sub-chassis that can be removed as...
Complete assemblyInsert the D-pad in the main body, check the fit: it should be pretty lose and allow the pad to move up and down easily. Slide the main PCB in the case. Finish by connecting the radio module and snapping the lid on the case. Everything...
