Project Description

Since I knew that I wanted a rotational component to my final project. I decided to try working with some recycled stepper motors.

It was surely more challenging that I expected because my coding background is very limited and here I needed a lot of help from the TAs and my friends to get me acquainted with the basics of code.

PCB Design

I used Eagle on Fusion 360 to design my circuit. I also decided to use the Attiny 1624  again because Eyal suggested that it is best to work with a chip that you understand and iterate and build on it each week. So for this week I tried to figure out how to interact with H-bridge. Which also helped try out reflow soldering technique. Overall the milling went better than last time but there were a few odd things that happened. For example my outline was cut into two lines because I did not clean up the file in photoshop first and also because in this board I did not export a copper pour. Instead I exported the outline only which led to mod thinking that were two lines insead of one clear edge
