My first SMT!
(Click for more x0xb0x stuff…)<\/center><\/p>\n

Well, this is the first photo I’ve posted from work on my x0xb0x (photo gallery retired)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In short, it’s coming along nicely, but I just simply don’t feel like writing a lot. Here’s some links for photos, if you’re interested in how it’s going:<\/p>\n

· Main x0xb0x Gallery (photo gallery retired)<\/em>
\n· 600dpi scans of the PCBs (photo gallery retired)<\/em>
\n· The piles of parts for the x0xb0x. Well, all except the seven missing ones. Whoops! (They are on their way…) (photo gallery retired)<\/em>
\n· The USB controller actually working!<\/a>
\n· The completed (except for one resistor) I\/O board.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Uhm… That’s all.<\/p>\n

Oh, one thing to note… Except for testing the power supply and the USB stuff, this is all kinda untested. :\\ I don’t have my new DMM yet, nor do I have a benchtop power supply. Nor all the parts. So, I can’t see how it’s working out yet…<\/p>\n

Tomorrow (today?) I have to order the new LEDs, a few other parts, and find a power supply. In the mean time I might just assemble the rest of it… I think my soldering skills are decent, so hopefully I won’t screw it up too much.<\/p>\n

Oh, and I also wish there was an easier way to remove flux. A toothbrush + isopropyl works well, but then there’s a thin residue of flux on the whole board. I may just have to wash the whole of the boards down with isopropyl again once it’s all done. Ah well, at least it’ll look nice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
