Mini K-Ceptor design

valor

Stinde I've used hot air gun on some of the boards, and reflow oven on the rest.
With a good solder paste, the IMU reflows nicely.

Hi werbs ,
That's right. Those capacitors were not used on the Mini-Hub, and did not have any designators. Thanks for pointing it out. I've updated the BOM and pushed to github.
The BOM for the Mini-Hub should look like this now:

Best regards,

When hand reflowing the ICs, once the solder liquefies, it's a good idea to tap the IC (from top) very gently. The tap will squeeze the excess molten solder out and they will immediately solidify into solder balls which can be removed easily. This method helps to prevent the shorts underneath the IC package.

Great!

Nice! I had to check for a second if my set was still is its place. Your build is identical 😀
Have you gotten to capturing allready?

ShiroSaki

valor Not yet. My pi’s WiFi function is not working. So I ordered a new one and have not received yet.

ShiroSaki Have you tried removing the heatsink-armor from your PI? It's might be affecting your signal dramatically.

Can you upload the 3d files for the clip?
(I found the reason why my pi’s wifi is not working is that I forget to select the region)

valor

ShiroSaki Sure, I've just uploaded the Chordata Mini K-Ceptor v1.2 - Case clip.STL to github. Sync up your fork, or pull down if you checkout directly from my github repository 😀
