Description
A logical extension to the Kicad workshop (electronics design) is to realize the designed PCB. There are 3 ways to produce PCBs at FIXME (with the required components):
- PCB Milling with a CNC Router
- PCB Etching using toner transfer method
- PCB Etching using the photosensitive positive method
Goal
- Make custom PCBs for FIXME members and projects.
Obstacles
PCB Milling with a CNC Router:
- Cost
- Make a lot of dust
PCB Etching using toner transfer method:
- Use chemicals requiring precautions for use
PCB Etching using the photosensitive positive method:
- Use chemicals requiring precautions for use
- Need an insolation box
- Number of step for the process
Components
- Iron(III) chloride / Perchlorure de fer Corrosive!
Safety
Equipment:
- Gloves
- Goggles
- Lab coat
