My 1st PCB

Lately I've been busy with my java, battle of the band practice, and also my 1st PCB!!

I've always wanted to do something electronics, but I'm just not motivated. But this time, I have to do no matter what, 'cause it is my assignment(3 degree-of-freedom robot arm) hence, my 1st PCB is born.

In this entry, I would like to share how I made it.

1st: I draw my circuit design, using Traxmaker.


2nd: Print it out using LASER printer, and GLOSSY paper. Prepare a PCB board, FR4, and cut it to my desired size.


3: And then iron the print-out to the FR4.



Too bad my ironing skill's not good, some carbon didn't stick to the FR4, so I had to use the permanent marker to cover the copper which I don't want it to be washed out.


4th: Pour the Ferric Chloride power into a pale of water. Make sure the plastic pale used is thick enough, and everything used here must be plastic. The chemical will 'eat' the metal.


5th: Done. Well not really done, I still have to sand down the carbon which sticked on the PCB board, drill holes on it, solder the electronic components and what not then only consider done.


Thanks to Yeo for technical and tools support. LOL.

It's Not Right

Shin's having ITP, staying at Masjid Tanah, now.
Fungi's had to practise drum, staying at Masjid Tanah, now.
Yeo's going to KL tomorrow, staying at Paya Mengkuang, now.
It's 4.30am, everyone's sleeping, now.


I'm the only, and lonely, in the night.

I hate it.

Toothpaste Doesn't Work

Last time I went swimming I used saliva to antifog and it lasted for quite a certain period. But Von and Jenn told me to use toothpaste, so I tried. ( Actually I knew but forgot to do that last time. )

jenn: use colgate leh -.-"

vonne: ya lo.. use colgate or any anti tear drop shampoo will do... of coz if u wanna save money, use saliva

But the toothpaste-to-antifog doesn't work as well. Better than saliva a BIT though. Perhaps I should try anti tear drop shampoo next time.

Anyone can lend me? I don't use baby shampoo by the way. :D

( P/S: I used x-branded toothpate. Must it be COLGATE? Cannot Darlie or whatnot? )
