Today we finished up the Bay Are Maker Faire video, and unpacked the prototypes. We caught up on forum support, and are in the process of answering our email backlog. Some minor updates to the Maker Faire wiki have new info from our 2012 trip.
We finished some Part Ninja updates. Since the LCD is placed on the bottom side of the board, all our bottom silkscreen was upside down in regard to the LCD orientations, this was fixed.
Part Ninja firmware is under calibration and testing. It successfully identifies: MOSFETs, BJT, double diodes, Zener diodes, resistors, and capacitors. The correct pinout and part specific information is displayed as well. Once we add JFETs, only the documentation and cleanup are left before we release it to SVN.
In the office we sent out new prototype PCBs to be made, amongst them the latest revision of the Part Ninja.
That is a great picture, I really think if you keep it up Finnair will give you your own plane :)
As for the silkscreen issue, is that something that would have shown up in the 3d render?
Please keep up the updates, I love reading them.
yup it does show up on the 3d render, but the LCD soen’t have text on it, so we didn’t see it until we started working on the frimware
Ahhh… I understand, I was thinking it was on the wrong side of the board.
