Reflow Oven

No, this post is not about Megatron looking for energon cubes. We just love labeling all our tools and machines with characters from the show we heart when we were young. Alright, finally there’s some progress on the reflow oven controller. I know many of you guys are asking when they’ll be available, I hope the waiting is going to be over pretty soon! 🙂 Read more

Some of you might have came across our earlier design on low power Arduino compatible board going under the name Ultra. We are making a tiny version of the Ultra design – Mini Ultra 8 MHz. Mini Ultra 8 MHz is a simplified and stripped down version of Ultra. Using this board under the Arduino IDE, you can select the board as “Arduino Pro or Pro Mini (3.3 V 8 MHz) w/ ATmega328”. As the name suggest, Mini Ultra 8 MHz is designed to be low power (less than 5 µA in power down mode). Read more

Many of you might have came across the PCB prototype page on our web shop. We have been designing many PCB in the past few years and was always looking for reliable and at the same time affordable PCB service especially for prototype run. At times, we made mistakes in the design and these PCB end up as coasters. If you were to do a search for local PCB manufacturer in Malaysia on the internet, you’ll come to a conclusion that the price is pretty steep and the quite often the PCB manufacturing specifications is pretty disappointing. And if you mention that you are only interested in making 3 pieces, they will advice you to start playing Ferric Chloride instead. Read more
