Hardware Hacker does stuff with and for #KiCad DSGVO-Ultra
Some of you might have already seen the #Stonehenge soldering challenge. It will return to #39c3 and be available in the #hardwarehackingArea Its a cursed soldering challenge that will test your skill. The CH32V203 µC make programming accessible if you want to tinker with the software. There is a workshop where you can build it on site with help from Kliment and other awesome people. Or just get a kit and build it at your assembly or at home.
Today I finally milled a 'cradle' for the Stonehenge PCB out of aluminium. There are some minor problems, toolpaths can be optimized. Buy I am quite happy for the first iteration. The next one will be made out of brass. The sharp corners of the PCB also don't match the mill radius, so they were filed down. The whole modelling and CAM was done in #FreeCAD I sure did have some issues generating the toolpaths, but as you can see, it worked out in the end.
Es fühlt sich ja schon ganz gut an Dinge zu reparieren. Mit positivem Feedback ist das dann noch besser. Repariert mehr Krams :) In dem Fall habe ich auch nicht viel mehr getan als den Menschen zu zeigen wie man nen Lötkolben hält. image
