In a previous post, I tackled the conversion of a CAD program (KiCad) output position file, to the pick and place machine’s (NeoDen 4) needs. The script I provided there did a great job in formatting the .CSV output file according to Neoden input requirements, and converting the component coordinates from the kicad reference to the p’n’p machine’s work space […]

At work we have a new Pick n’ Place machine, a NeoDen4 for small production batches and prototypes. It has many nice features, and some naggin’ quirks too. One of the latter is the way it imports the positions file from the PCB design software. The best approach so far is a back and forth procedure as I will describe […]
I worked a bit on this project on the National Holiday of the 28th of October. I designed a simple PCB with through-hole parts. Here you can find the project files if you want to modify it with KiCAD: RFM92W If you just want to replicate it as is, here are the Gerbers I will have the PCB made soon […]
Well, I started working on the new LoRa modules I got from HopeRF, today. I decided I would make a small pcb to accommodate a module, a microcontroller and some LEDs and buttons. My EDA suite of choice is kicad once more. I made a footprint and schematic symbol for the modules. I’ll post here any progress…
