What perfect timing to tempt me. Just a few days ago, I was hunched over my workbench with tweezers and a stereo microscope placing teeny-tiny components. Just thinking, this would be way easier to have a PnP machine do this for me. Of course, I'm not making boards in quantity, so I could spend a lot of effort getting a PnP machine built and running to "save time." Thanks for the video!

You are a master builder, not just for your prowess mechanically, sir, but your electronics knowledge. I was introduced to pick-n-place machines used ubiquitously in Boulder Colorado some three decades ago. Incredible technology. Didn't know these had dropped so much in price they are now affordable to a homeowner. I sure hope the blood, sweat & tears was worth it for this massive build, Mr. Bitluni, and you reap untold profits from your small manufacturing endeavor.

You got off lucky! I was using an oscilloscope to measure the voltage on a 96V BLDC motor and made the classic "how NOT to blow up your oscilloscope" mistake and the surge went through the probe, into the oscilloscope, but rather than ground, I guess my plug was flaky, it went down the OTHER probe, to my board under test, into the USB port, into my $1500 laptop (killing it!), and through my power adapters to ground. Yes the power adapters connected the negative contact to earth ground. I took the laptop apart to repair it louis-rossman style, hoping it was just a blown fuse since the laptop simply didn't do anything. Found 1 PCB mount fuse that was blown and some random SOT23 package, but also a dead VRM on the CPU. I suspect the CPU saw a 12V spike on one if it's lower power rails, killing it, but I have no easy way to tell if it's alive or dead. I was able to get some sign of life by removing the shorted MOSFET and VRM but no POST screen or anything.

@bufordmaddogtannen 4 жыл бұрын

So, let me understand if I am getting this right. - You use a stencil and a spatula to apply low melting point liquid solder to the PCB - The PNP puts the componentd onto the PCB - Superficial tension from the solder keeps everything in place - The oven melts the solder - The ultrasonic cleaner removes leftover flux Correct?

@bitluni 4 жыл бұрын

That is exactly how I do it. even if the parts are not 100% perfectly placed the reflow will pull them straight. I poke from time to time one component that's off too much to avoid rework later. Before US clean I check for solder bridges or other errors. After cleaning I test the boards. If there is a fail I rework, clean and test again

The body diode in a mosfet doesn’t protect it against inductive flyback voltages. A discreet flyback diode (or freewheeling diode) needs to be placed (reverse biased) between drain and supply - assuming you are low side switching that pump.

The best protection for your PC is a USB isolator. They're not super cheap but they are cheaper than an entire PC. The need for isolators increases with the amount of power your device uses. Remember ground is not ground, it's a wire leading to ground. Bad grounds will allow high currents to travel up one USB cable and down the other.

Super nice. The correction of the component is actually sort of mandatory. I've worked with professional pick and place machines and you will be surprised how many components are just totally skewed in the reels. Sometimes even 180 degrees flipped. Normally this is done with a second steady camera, as a step between picking and placing. I was only wondering if you could go faster with this thing? Unless you're doing 100 boards, I don't really see a benefit vs placing thing yourself. All preparations considered. In fact, nowadays I just order them assembled even in small quantities.

Thanks for inspiration. Liteplacer looks like great reasonably priced tool for a small workshop :) Regarding the additional FET board, I would honestly expect this to be an integral part of the board. It should be a fully working kit, shouldn't it? Why would you need to get an additional part? I would expect it to be part of the kit, even if it's an extra board.
