I got the circuit board back from JLCPCB a few days ago. Although I was excited but with some Fever mixed with bout of the Flu, Gout attack and a tennis elbow all rolled into one, I had to stay in bed as soon as I came back from Work. Just sitting on the Works […]

I was hoping v04 would be the last revision so that I can upload it on my GitHub but sadly, there are more ‘improvements’. I am skipping v03 which is no different from V02 except it has a sliding selector switch instead of solderable jumper, and a pair of piggyback connectors. They were meant to […]
20241124 Lighting for the AndersFP Blaster Pt.24 – Starting Production pt. 03
Phew. Soldering the Boards is time consuming! I have been soldering and programming the Boards after coming home from work for the last three weeks. Soldering a few boards can be fun but multiply that and the fun goes away rather quickly. I have a very systematic approach to producing these boards something which confirms […]

This weird component comes in both through-hole and SMD packages too. But for this post, I am concentrating on the surface mount […]
