#JLCPCB

2025-05-30

So, I’ll do a little bodging on one of the previous boards to confirm that this design is at least somewhat sane and then I’ll send it off to #jlcpcb to get it made up.

I've got NFI what #JLCPCB did to the ENIG on these boards but solder just won't stick to them 😭 . The GC10 put down with the stencil just balls up around the components and you can pull them off the board. Using a soldering iron with my regular solder and plenty of flux also just balls up around the tip and won't stick.

Close up  of a blue PCB on the left is a three legged SOT-23 component showing the side with a single leg which has solder balled around the leg but none on the pad. To the right is an 0805 681R resistor which also has the solder stuck to the ends but none on the PCB pads.

Above these are two plated holes surrounded by spent flux but there's no solder on the rings.Close up of the pad that didn't have a component fitted, the solder paste has balled up on the pad surrounded by flux.

Anyone by change needing a #pcb from #JLCPCB with either C3322939 (2x10 Pin socket P=2.54mm)) or C598603 (2x10 Pin Header P=2.54mm)?

JLCPCB didn't have these (nor similar) Parts in stock, Because of MOQ I'll end up with some spare parts::
2x C3322939
6x C598603

It's my first time ordering from JLCPCB but if I understood their terms correctly then they won't offer to ship these parts to me, but only keep them in a dedicated inventory for me for future PCBA orders

This was a fast one. Last night I designed a small 2 layer #GPIO stacking header board for the #RaspberryPi that will be used in my #NeXTcube mini to provide a power and activity LED. It's in production at #JLCPCB already.

I've ordered way too many components from #lcsc and #mouser for a frew projects. I also unlocked an achievement:

First full component reel ordered (just some resistors)

But now, I'll have to play the waiting game: 2-3 weeks, but that's how it works. Let's just hope that the order from LCSC doesn't arrive in Germany, but rather any other EU country. PCBs from #JLCPCB are also on their way (soon, after thy will be produced)

Helpful JLCPCB tariff faq. Incredibly depressing. Pretty much prices out most of my Tindie things. jlcpcb.com/help/article/us-tar

New PCBs from #jlcpcb . First time doing hot plate soldering, only had to fix one solder bridge! so much easier than using an iron on these 0.5mm pin pitch parts.

Of course it doesn't work 😄 I got the connector pins backwards... Luckily they make a reversed connector so these boards don't go into trash, just have to wait for new parts!

made a new release of my JLCPCB Altium libraries.

this new release contains 55451 resistors, 15361 capacitors, 5047 inductors, and a brand new addition: 2384 ferrite beads.

I also fixed an issue where inductors had their category labelled incorrectly and their inductance erroneously listed in the capacitance field.

Oh dear. My experiences with JLCPCB have been good, but I've only done only the simplest formats of PCBs and no PCBA. Skim this thread for what you might be getting into. #electronics #jlcpcb

Vater hat mir seine alte ALDI Wildkamera gegeben, die ich fit machen sollte. Da waren die Batterien ausgelaufen. Leider ist das Zeug auf die Platine gekommen. SD-Karte wurde immer schreibgeschützt erkannt, weil der Schalter, der das detektiert, korrodiert war. Hab das Ding einfach fest gelötet, sodass alle Karten schreibbar sind.
Nächstes Problem: Die Buttons funktionieren nicht mehr bzw. höchstens mal einer. Problem: Die Leiterbahnen auf der Flex-PCB waren teilweise zerfressen. Ich hatte leider keinen Leitlackstift da, also wollte ich es erst mal mit dem Lötkolb...verdammt, das Trägermaterial hält keine Hitze aus 😅
Also #KiCAD angeworfen und eine eigene Flex-PCB erstellt und bei #jlcpcb (zusammen mit bisschen anderen Kram aus meiner Pipeline) produzieren lassen. Passt und funktioniert wirklich ausgezeichnet 🤩

Auf einem Tisch liegt die blanke Platine einer Wildkamera. Daneben eine folienartige Button-Matrix und die darunter liegende flexible Leiterplatte. Bei der flexiblen Leiterplatte ist ein Loch in den Kunststoff gebrannt.Auf einer Unterlage liegt die Hauptplatine einer Wildkamera. Auf dem Display ist das Einstellungsmenü zu sehen. Daneben liegt eine flexible Leiterplatte mit Loch im Kunststoffträger, darunter eine orangefarbene flexible Leiterplatte mit gleichen Maßen und ähnlichem Design und darunter eine weitere, die an der Hauptplatine angeschlossen ist.

They is the first version is of my linear solar Lithium Ion Capacitor charger and needs to be assembled. #jlcpcb

And just like that we have a functioning clock! currently running on a propmaker RP2040 but I will probably have to move over to something WiFi enabled before long @adafruit

Glad I'd left plenty of space around the #RP2350A on my latest #JLCPCB #PCBA order as they'd been a bit tight with the solder and I had to run an iron down one side to get it working 🤦 .

Three hours, 23 PCBs and 161 leds. I’m done in.

They said this wouldn’t work but it bloody well does! Just three more digits to solder up (161 individual LEDs!) and I’ll have a clock!

I’m so glad it does work though because I ordered two hundred of these pcbs 😂

Rechtzeitig zu Ostern wurden neue Platinen von #jlcpcb geliefert. Neben dem "alten" Löthasen habe ich nun noch eine Version für die Kleineren gemacht. Die Bauteilauswahl ist dabei stark von den tollen Bausätzen von @blinkyparts.com inspiriert 😁

Nachbildung des REX 9628 External Kernel 8 Modul

Ein neues Board aus Bildern von alten Boards erstellen, das war mein Ziel. Leider gab es immer nur Fragmente, und das von verschiedenen Versionen. Daher war eine exakte Nachbildung leider nicht möglich, aber die Platine als solches wurde neu erstellt. Das erforderte einige Sch…

For development at @bitcraze we normally use the STLink and an adapter for our specific SWD pinout used on the #Crazyflie (and our other boards). It works well, but it would be neater with an "all-in-one" solution. So here it is, the Bugslayer mini! It features the #RP2040 and it's made in @kicad. Eagerly awaiting the #JLCPCB delivery!

Yay! Happy #JLCPCB Day to all those that celebrate!

Now to fire up the soldering iron and find out what I did wrong this time!
