Synthino XM Surface Mount Assembly How To Make a Synthesizer Main Board IR Oven PCB

Published on Jul 26, 2015 GetLoFi

"www.synthino.com This is how we make the Synthino XM mainboard with excellent results, there are not very many components and once the solder stencil is tweaked with just the right amount of opening for the solder paste, there is virtually no chance for bridges and poor connections. Thanks for watching, please subscribe.

P.S. This also serves as a motion study exercise, I conclude that having parts in the tray parallel to the circuit board and the picking and placing hand is most optimal. Closing the lid after every place prevents accidental spillage of parts, most importantly picking the part inside of the container that is also rotated same as its orientation on the circuit board is advantageous. Handling the parts in their containers is also desired to minimize the spillage and extra travel moves.

'They come cheaper by the dozen you know'

Enjoy."

this is the first Synthino post.

Some details for the archives:

"Synthino is a fun collaboration project started in 2014 between two Minneapolis based DIY kit makers and members of TC Maker a non-profit Minnesota based organization focused on growing the maker community.

Electronics maker nootropic design has pushed the boundaries of Arduino based electronic devices by incorporating unique integrated circuits (ICs) in Arduino compatible shields for everyone to be able to enjoy without racking their brain over datasheets or dealing with nuances of circuit board layout and design. While taking special pride in the documentation, development, and testing virtually all nootropic design kits are suitable for hobby, professional, industrial, and even government applications.

GetLoFi offers information and kits for musicians and first-time solderers who are not opposed to modifying their gear through a process called "Circuit Bending" or building from scratch a variety of analog circuit noise makers. Bringing to the table a musician's perspective GetLoFi team helped to develop essential hardware and software features of Synthino...
