Assembly jig

The first set of holes were of no use. After drilling I noticed that the block wasn't square enough. Depth wasn't uniform either. The 2nd set of holes did the job. It still wasn't a piece of cake, but it worked.

The pins will be part of an ISP adapter-board. If that works, said adapter-board will then be used to program the board shown in this photograph.

It works rather nicely. The holes in the circuit board provide alignment of the pins.

Pogo-pin weak spot covered with blob of solder

If I had a precision lathe, I would try to make a sleeve to cover the weak spot. Solder will have to do the job for now.

SOIC Adapter

I'll test this board with an MBI5030 LED driver - or so I thought.

The MBI5030 comes in an SO package alright, but with 1.00mm pin pitch. This adapter is for 1.27mm pitch. DOH!

The boards are scored. I didn't explicitly order it that way, but they snap off very easily. At first glance I didn't see the grooves, so that was a positive surprise! I had already thought about using the mini mill to cut these out. Pure horror. I probably would have had to use a 0.5 or even 0.3mm tungsten carbide mill, and these break very easily.

Unexpected moment of luck

Initially I had put these bridge-pads on there to select which pins are + and - and connect capacitors to them. Today I used this board with an MCP1804-SOP23-5 voltage regulator. I had everything plugged in and was in need of another GND pin. Not just the one going to the chip, bot one going to the load. Thanks to these jumpers I could use the unused pin #5 (top row in the middle) and just bridge it to GND. I need more of these little moments!

MCP1804 DIP friendly(er)

I had to file down the friggin' headers again... You have to love those 29.5mil holes. I'll have to get machined headers with round pins. And if these don't fit... I'll turn into a gamma flash.

Works as guesstimated

Today I built this one with through-hole components. I chose to make the common-anode variant only, as I'll be using it with a constant-current LED driver for testing code.

This SMD version can be used in either common anode or cathode configuration.
