Man. I love watching your assembly line grow. Please continue posting these. Can you do a detail video on how to program the pnp? Maybe you already have this video.
It seems that in general the surface tension of the solder is adequate to suspend small parts. There must be some limit relationship between the component mass and pad-surface-area. We'll avoid really large parts that require an adhesive step.
Wow that is spooky 👻 I just received my picodev modules and after taking a good look at the boards and hardware -fantastic bit of kit and top quality by the way ! I began thinking what other boards / modules will be added in the future and up popped this video which answered that question - lots more , you don’t outlay that sort of money unless you are thinking of expanding and developing more boards ! Fantastic video ! Keep up the good work !
@@Core-Electronics you make i buy - simples 🤣 I only had a few minutes to play with the Picodev gear i purchased , enough time to put it together and plug a few sensors in - man that was so easy ! i love the I2C plug and play design - it makes life so much easier ! I began to think that it would be a fantastic feature on a Pico style board - you could use the Picodev platform to develop a project then simply unplug the pico and use the onboard I2C socket instead of soldering wires- i like plug and play !
no laser guides to level the track, would need at least 2, wireless travelling cameras showing where the laser light hits the camera, fine grid overlay, and a string to pull the sensor array or does the track have reverse ? hopefully the heaters can be switched off ;-) might need to do this periodically ? (heavy trucks passing making the ground shake ?)
We use a spirit level and some keen eyes. We pass 5 or so PCBs from one machine to another, then leave it where it sits. After that, the machines seem to hold their own quite well :)
Nice, are you guys looking at any PCB fab tools, or even the possibility of being a local PCB fab for short run boards? i know the infrastructure for some of that is likely beyond your current needs, but future goals for it would be nice - local pcbfab for unis/hobbists would be nice
The fact you added so much and kept the Neoden 8 suggests you're happy with it but wanted to check as I'm very seriously considering ordering one... There's a new Neoden 9 but I'd rather not be a guinea pig. Any issues, maintenance tips you can share?
Awesome upgrade guys, really well deserved. You could almost justify some ESD precautions now ;-) [2:52 and 6:12 ....and that NSW is why you can't have nice things]
Thank you for great presentation for ETA/I.C.T SMT machines! 🥰 Proud of ETA and the good quality machines!

Maybe you already have this video.
How do you do double sided PCB without parts falling off?
Do you reflow one side first and apply a different temp paste or use a glue?

Woah this is crazy, looking forward to seeing what you create!
Cheers!

Haha, nice one! We have SO many creative ideas to share with the world :)

I think you need a bigger factory!
Wouldn't that be great!

you're going to need a bigger boat :) Great videos you guys make, so much information.
Thanks Chris :)

There’s gotchas with all of the machines. But that’s life :)
