WEEK 3 | ELECTRONICS PRODUCTION



MILLING

Milling the board at first was easy, and I managed to do it on the first try.
But then when I started soldering, one piece torn apart from the board and I needed to mill again.
It took me a while to understand that the machine is not reacting because the portable device was disconnected
when I opened the VM. This time it took me 3 tries to mill it right, so now I feel like I'm an expert.


Soldering at first was very compicated, but after Jen told me to start with one leg and after
that do the second - it become easy and even fun! Programing was also not very difficult, but i needed to put
a lot of tape that my board will be well connected to the USB device. I think the instructions were a little bit confusing,
and I'm still not 100% sure how the board is built and what every part is doing - but I guess I will know better in the
next few weeks.
