Project development, ideas, and suggestions / Re: home made QFP50 dangerous proto board
A bit of info about the setup. I also did some pictures.
- The machine is a Proxxon MF-70 micro mill (http://proxxon.com/eng/html/27110.php), it costs around 300€ in Europe.
- DIY Bob card from pminmo (http://pminmo.com/PMinMOwiki/index.php5 ... sinterface) free!
- 3 x FL57STH56-3008B nema 23 steppers, got them from motion control UK, 27€ each (http://www.motioncontrolproducts.com/mo ... .php?cat=1)
- 3 x RepRap stepper drivers  v1, probably around 25€ each, got them 4 years ago so price may be outdated.
- Old PC power supply for the stepper drivers.
- Armadillo retrofit kit (http://www.ideegeniali.it/vendita/retro ... nutes.html) 135€
- EMC2 on linux ubuntu, in a old laptop. free!
- 10º V tip bits, at 20krpm (wich is the max for the spindle) and around 80mm per min for feed speed when etching, 10 mm per min when cuting the board (http://cgi.ebay.es/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... K:MEWNX:IT), around 20€ 15 units.

Like Bogdan says, better quality can be achieved reducing the feed speed or increasing the spindle speed. It's a time-quality compromise.

General discussion / free USB IR Toy trough-hole
Yesterday my free PCB arrived.The envelope and PCB came in perfect conditions.
[attachment=3]
After a couple of minutes looking for parts, found most of them, except for the IR receivers.
I didn't had a narrow 28 DIP socket, so I took a wide one from an old network card and cutted the plastic bridge between both sides. A few other components are recycled, like the USB connector.

One hour later everything is soldered, time to write the bootloader.
I'm using my cheap pickit2 clone (this one was programmed with a serial PIC writer wich Ian published in DIY life some time ago).

Everything went OK, later firmware was written and tested in serial console.
Now I just need to find those IR receivers.
Thanks Ian!
