Testing the silver chloride based plating powder on some PCB samples that I milled.
It plates bare copper as well as, interestingly, ENIG coated surfaces but doesn't seem to deposit on non-metals.
I milled a cavity into layer 2 on this scrap board (ignore the solder paste granules this board has been used for stencil testing too and I didn't bother fully cleaning lol.
I used a combination of a lint-free swab and wooden toothpick to rub the plating composition over t…

Microscope view of a two level cavity machined into a PCB with gold pads and blue soldermask. The first level stops at the top copper layer after removing soldermask, while a smaller inset goes down to layer 2 underneath. The top layer is well coated in shiny silver with some overspray to adjacent ENIG pads, while the smaller hole is bright and shiny in the middle but more dull along the edges of the hole that were harder to plate

Does Ann-Renée Desbiens have new pads and blocker? I don't remember a blue stripe.

Fuck! The pain is so intense I had to go lie in bed with two heating pads. I was lying flat on my back trying to assemble USB controllers but I could only get a few done. 😩

Look what the intern did to this poor SOIC!
First they forgot to put a soldermask aperture on one of the pads (challenge 6). While trying to rework it, they lifted the adjacent pad (challenge 07).

Second try on a B/C PS3 board: no ripped pads!!!
The old RSX itself has ben superheated though, either way it was dead, now more dead.
Now question is how do i solder on the new RSX without overheating it.

A socket place of a RSX (PS3 GPU), on a COK-002 board, with no pads ripped.

Welp, my back is banjaxxed.
Had pain last week, but heat patches sorted it by Wednesday.
It has been fine for the last few days
Until today when I lifted a bucket of coal and I near collapsed with the shooting pain.
Good thing I bought extra heat pads...

A cartoon-style pig-like humanoid character is depicted against a dark purple to pink gradient background. The character has gray skin with red stripes across its face, snout, and neck, and brown hair styled in a mohawk on top of its head with a braid on one side. It features prominent white tusks, red eyes, and a stern, focused expression. The figure wears light gray armor with purple shoulder pads and metallic silver accents on the chest plate and belt.

Was just watching the crew do their thing and two of them were using an iPhone to take pictures and video (note classic “elbows out” photo taking pose by Jeremy on the left) of the pilots doing their thing.
I wonder how many USB charging ports are in the Integrity capsule.
#integrity #artemisII #tech #iPhone #poll
0 ports - cables are hard wired or there are charging pads
1-3 ports
3-5 ports
5 ports
