I am working on several projects and one of them is called “Swiss-Precision Timer”. It is no art-related project, but like like a small utility.
The prototype boards were produced by PCBWay in very good quality. It is a two-layer board, just 37x18mm (1.46″x0.71″) in size.
There are a number of really small SMD parts and I am looking forward to soldering them to the board. I will use reflow soldering using a stencil.
The project is still in a prototype state. I will post more details as soon as I assembled the first version successfully.
Enjoy Winter! 🙂
