Hey Aus/NZ fedi folks, do you want one of these fantastic USB cable testers?
-
One single board out of 160 has failed assembly quality checks - not too shabby at all! This probably something I can manually fix.
-
:pakidge:
Still in the factory, waiting to be picked up though. But now UPS is Aware
-
:pakidge:
Soon…
-
:pakidge:
Where you going?!
-
:pakidge: TODAY?! It’s more likely than you think
-
If you refresh the tracking every few minutes it makes the delivery van go faster right?
-
Where :pakidge: ?!
-
So, you just CBF delivering all the packages in the van today and tried to claim I wasn’t home all day looking after The Toddler. Good to know.
-
HOOOOOOLLLLYYYYYYYYY SSSHHHHHIIIIIIITTTTTTTT
:pakidge:
-
That’s a lot of padding!
-
First one works! Now to test the other 159…
-
If anyone in Melbourne western suburbs (or elsewhere, if you don’t mind the travel) would like to help with testing these tomorrow, drop me a DM. There’s a BBQ lunch…
-
This is my life for the next few hours - de-paneling these boards from a panel of 8 into singles.
-
Step 1, snap into 2’s
-
Step 2: snap into singles
-
Step 3: remove the 3 tooling rails
-
It’s like a big purple fibreglass Kit Kat
-
Those tooling rails? It has a few holes to fix the panel into various frames for both the solder paste and the automated pick and place. The bright dots are for the pick and place to align what’s in the computer model to the panel in the real world, and are designed to be easily visible to computer vision systems. Once the pick and place locates the position of at least 3 of these points it knows exactly where inside the machine to place everything.
-
Just sitting on the couch with Little Miss 5-1/2, breaking panels apart, while she watches Play School
-
Time to grab supplies for the BBQ tomorrow. If you’d like to join me, @decryption and @vk3xe in testing these from about 11am then I’ll feed you as well.
