Hi all,
I’m an absolute beginner, never soldered anything but after practice a few hours on a sample board I got the hang of it.
I completed most of the soldering on the pcb, but I’m now left with this small separate Arduino pcb and I have some questions now which I’ll number for easy replying
1) I can just snap on the arduino board on the arduino pcb, and then I simply after put the “raiser-things” solder it together so they are attached and connect well right?
2) After doing #1, how do I get this all connected to the main pcb? I not see it in the documention on the website. I do notice that on the main pcb there is the same amount of holes as that’s on the arduino pcb, but how to connect these 2? With cables or something 1 by 1? Isn’t there something I’m missing from the purchase list in order to connect these 2?
3) Is there a simple (for me) way to somehow edit the Gerber file so I can change some of the sizing as I like to fit it in my homemade enclosure. I googled for editing Gerber but it seems impossible, or is that because Gerber is an export of some original file? Im a fast learner so f anyone can help me out here how to modify things to my preference in size of main pcb, I would be grateful. Note: willing to pay for a service if it’s also possible for me to have most components assembled using something called a BOM (
) file for Jlcpcb, so all chips, capacitors, resistors, leds and even the digit displays on a “seperate” pcb for easy placement inside my enclosure box to where I want it to be at. Oh, obviously, I’m also happy to donate to this website instead of pay the person who can help me as a beginner with zero knowledge lol
Cheers,
Hans(jeFS)
