Assembly and Testing

Assembly and Testing

Overview 

The assembly and testing of self-designed PCBs requires some extra equipment. Much of this has already been thought out on the Rapid Prototyping Elektronik page and in particular on the associated spreadsheet/list. I would like repeat some of the recommended items here. Another good reference for this is the Soldering Workshop presented by Binary Kitchen, Regensburg.

The kit for each attendee

Advanced Gear

Some of this equipment is already in ZAM. However, there is not enough to run any type of soldering workshop and the safety equipment is as yet not available - solder fumes extractor and safety glasses.

We could build our own Solder fume extractor. Binary kitchen have theirs as a kit. There are plenty of other examples on the Thingiverse. In my case, I created one from a PC cooling fan, an off-the-shelf case, a 12 V LED lamp and a flexible hose from a fire-lighter. I imagine we could come up with something in the middle.
