After more than about 10 days, the newly re-deisigned (and I hope, the final version) of the Razor Crest’s main board has arrived. The circuit is the same except that it has been re-wired slightly to fit into the new screw terminals. To make or rather, allow for last-minute re-soldering, I have moved the components. […]

20230924 Razor Crest Engine Stencils
This came about more than a month ago from JLCPCB but I was too busy to open it. Not only that, looking for a working space big enough was also another issue. To be honest, I forgot about the huge size of the solder paste stencil, which measures close to an A3 sheet give to […]
20230822 The Razor Crest Front PCB
BEFORE I GO ON… And so, finally, the PCB arrived today. This is the final PCB for the Razor Crest and I can really start to test the whole system. I mean, I had it all planned and yes, I did skip the prototyping board stage since the circuit looked simple (at least I though […]
