PCB's arrived! Finally!!!

Yesss,

my pcbs finally arrived this afternoon. Now I'll solder all the parts on and do some tests as I mentioned in the the post earlier. Then I'll write more in detail.

But for now: Take a look at these beautiful pcbs. I my opinion it seems to me as if a self made pcb, manufactured so awesome like this, is like a painting, like art itself. ;) I'm deeply impressed *-*
The manufacturer was iteadstudio, for those who want to know. I can highly recommend them, very cheap prices(10pcs for around 28$), medium delivery time (~2,5 weeks including manufacturing (Yeah I had choosen the cheaper type of shipping. There is also a more expensive option, which would be faster)) and the result speaks for itself.

What I'm doing...

Ok folks,

I misjudged the time that I would need to get the electronics working for my current project (hint: it's a 3D Printer).  Etching PCBs myself hasn't been a problem, until now. There is so much detail on it that it's very difficult to make them on my own. So I decided to get them manufactured. That was last Thursday. I guess they may arrive next Wednesday or Thursday. Then I will solder the components on and do a some testing with my own Firmware. When everything is working fine I'll post it here, so stay tuned. But to give you a quick sneak peak, here is a photo of the printer(Yeah, it looks cheap, but I build this thing out of stuff I had laying around, in 24 days(1.12.2014 - 24.12.2015)):

Cheers,

btw: The orange stuff under the Printer is Ferri-Chloride, once I dropped it on there accidentally 

First post and introduction of myself

Hi,

this blog is empty, for now. But in the next few weeks I'll fill it with posts about my current projects im working on, in my freetime. These are not just a technical nature but also some software and philosospic stuff. I'm an 15(almost 16) year old german teenager who likes electronics, software and the outer space. One day I would like to study aerospacetechnology. But for now I'm going to school. So if someone found this blog through coincidence or mystical forces( :-) ), however stay tuned, there will be some content coming in the near Future.

Cheers,
JHL
