Parcel from JLCPCB


Just got parcel from JLCPCB, excited to look the final product since this is my first time order with them. When unboxing, it is amazing with the quality was superb. Can't get the same product with the lowest price such as from here.

With 10pcs PCB it cost about $2 only and free shipping for the first order. I recommended to all makers outside there to use this company services. Thumbs up. 👍🏻

Thank you JLCPCB for a great service !!!

Schematic to upload code for Arduino using Bluetooth HC-05


STATE from HC-05
RESET from Arduino board

When applied this schematic into your design, no need usb cable anymore to upload code from computer. Just pairing HC-05 with your computer and select the right port then UPLOAD.
Done!!!

How to design your PCB in online software?

This is my first designed using easyeda.com online software
The interesting of this software are:
1. Free software
2. Components updated
3. Can copy from others user and share your design
4. Integrated with JLCPCB company for PCB manufacturing
5. Can view in 3D in 360 degrees
6. Since this is online, can view and edit from any computer.
7. Enjoy it 😄



How to fabricate your own PCB

There are steps to develop and fabricate your own PCB
1. Design your circuit from easyeda.com or any circuit design software (Eagle, Kicad, Altium etc)
2. Print the circuit on the transferred paper using laser printer HP


3. Apply heat on that paper to transfer ink onto the PCB copper


4. Etching (step 3) into ferric chloride (acid) for 10 minutes


5. Take out and clean up ink with thinner


6. Drill the hole with micro drill
7. Solder all components followed the schematic diagram that designed at first
8. Testing and DONE.


Figure below shows the comparison between first orientation of components (left) and new (right). The improvements are on the size minimised and reduced about 30%.

How to setup HC-05

Enter AT Command Mode
Open Serial Monitor
Type AT ---> OK
AT+ROLE = 1   [0 (slave) / 1 (master)]
AT+ADDR?
AT+UART=57600,0,0
AT+NAME=zultronics
AT+PSWD=1234
