[week 2] Populate + Reflow & BOM

Populate & Reflow

For the homework staffs, we should to make the Infra-Red Control board. But unfortunately I lost that parts. Since I still have something can do, so I just made the board of the HTC VIve Sensor, the staffs like the below pics:

For the whole projects, all the BOM, schematic files can be found in the link below:

Since the whole project is done under Altuim Design, I asked some of my friend to get the AI file works for stencil. After Laser cut, I use 10% power + 10% speed to raster the film, and get the stencil as below:

The left one is something wrong with the set-ups

Then I marked everything based on the Schematic and Bom, like below:

Then assembling and heating as we needed. For a special procedure on the U1, I use a needle and microscope to clean up all the unwanted paste

And the final results works awesome, and can catch the data from Vive Lighthouse, which should be enough to do anything we want.
