Fixed the “magnet too weak” issue with angle sensor
I replaced the magnet and now it works great. Apparently, the break in the ring magnet was enough to make magnetic field […]
Success with the SMT soldering, but now another issue…
This One ring does not rule them all. 🙁 The connections are all good now on the angle sensor PCB but during […]
Guess I still need SMT soldering practice :-(
Apparently, I need to practice more on my SMT soldering skills. I connected up the new angle sensor PCB to the weather […]
MetOne Anemometer Fix… Finally!
Well, after screwing up the footprints for the IC’s on both PCB’s (this board AND the DS2423 rain gauge board), I soldered […]
Reworked PCBs arrived from JLCPCB!
Just received the re-worked PCBs from JLCPCB and the replaced IC pads look like they will work a lot better. While I […]
Now Rev 2 of the PCBs is in the works at JLCPCB
Edited footprint to extend pads I now have the updated the MLX refit board and uploaded the Gerber files to JLCPCB. I […]
Maybe I should have checked the IC pads :-(
Well, I blew it…again. This time with the IC footprint for the latest boards I received from JLCPCB, the 1-wire counter board […]
MetOne Windvane: Well, so much for my EDA skills…
Back to the Kicad drawing board apparently. I inadvertently used the wrong IC outline for the MLX90316 sensor, which is an SOIC-8 […]
Another JLCPCB order sent off today
I had such good luck last time with my anemometer retrofit PCB with JLCPCB so this time I sent off another order […]
MetOne Windvane: My First PCB with JLCPCB
This has indeed taken a while. Regrettably, I haven’t been able to devote a lot of time to this project during the […]
