Week 3
Electronics Production
This week's assignment: make an in-circuit programmer that includes a microcontroller.
As a group, we first characterized the design rules of the Roland SRM-20 machine by doing a line test with a 1/64" mill. Like with many of the machines in the shop, we used mods to streamline the process of milling.
For the in-circuit programmer, I made the hello.CMSIS-DAP.10.D11C board. I first milled the interior of the board with the 1/64" mill and then milled the outline with the 1/32" mill.
Next, I soldered all the components onto the board! The first time around, I didn't solder some of the pins down all the way, so my board didn't work when we tried to program it. After using the microscope to see which pins I needed to redo, everything worked! Here's the final product and the setup for programming it:
