Proffieboard V1.5

open-source lightsaber controller

Download Proffieboard 1.5 KiCad files here.

What you will need:

1 x Proffieboard V1.5 PCB - because DUH
All the components from the BOM
Stencil - download the kicad files, export gerbers and upload to OSHStencils.
Solder paste
Hot-air soldering station.
(optional) A reflow skillet
A test rig - if you want to test the result without soldering.

Follow this handy guide for how to put the top side together. Note that the markings on the board are not great for locating where to put the components, so I recommend printing out a component map and the list above, then cross things off as you go. Once the top side is done, you can test the USB, CPU, motion and three of the FETs before continuing. Using a skillet will probably not work for the bottom side though, instead you need to use a hot-air solder station to melt the solder after the components have been placed.
