PCB Batch on the way back :)

I made a batch of totally 9 board that I have sent to seeedstudio for production.

I made a batch of totally 9 board that I have sent to seeedstudio for production. Mostly the boards are for my PnP project, I was planing on waiting a few more weeks before sending the batch for production. But i have to create the camera vision SW/HW function in quite a hurry because i took on the vision implementation as a curse project in school. So I desprately needed the light ring for the camera, aka lighthouse. So this is the main board controller, there will be 2 of those in the PnP machine.

  • handles 7 stepper motor drivers, “3 digital and 4 normal step/dir”
  • 4x quadrature encoder inputs
  • 5x analog sensor inputs , mostly for vacuum sensors
  • 6x digital outputs to control relays and stuff like that
  • 2x RS424 connections to PC trough the RS424_to_USB board
  • 1x camera control, lens focus driver
  • 2x UART connections
  • and some other stuff

The other boards to the PnP project
