About the SolderingChallenge PCB
SolderingChallenge is an open source PCB design by ElectronicCats, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 33.5 × 33.5 mm, with 14 components from 14 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the PY32F002AA15M6TU. By type, the board carries 4 diodes, 4 resistors, 2 switches, 1 IC, 1 connector and 1 battery holder.
From the project
The classic Soldering challenge
This design was possible thanks to Mouser electronics, Würth Elektronik and Makers GDL we really appreciate all your support to get this boards free for the Talent Land 2019.
Design Files ============ This project is designed using Open Source KiCad. Design files are located in the Hw folder. You can oogle the schematic.
Firmware ======== This project is programed using the Open Source Arduino. I use my Open Source AVR Programming Shield to program the Attiny. The firmware is located in the firmware folder.
