20230126 The Razor Crest Control Board

It took about 16 days (right through the Chinese New Year) for JLCPCB to process and deliver my design to me. And I am quite happy. However, looking at the boards, methinks there could be a possible version 3.0 Right now, this is version 2.0. There was no version 1.0 as the ULN2003 Darlington Pair […]

In my usual programming method, I always transfer the microcontroller chip from one socket adaptor to the other and back again. This means the legs of the Chip is work and sometimes, bent. In most times, I could never tell if the chip is firmly connected or not. This is not helping when I am […]

The PIC12F6xx (& PIC18F1840) Board

Once in a while, I would like to veer myself away from the Breadboards. They do offer convenience for when I want to modify circuits. However, they are a little too big and cumbersome to bring around. Plus, the components can come off when it falls or, get bent when an object falls on it. […]
