eLab wishes you a merry Christmas and a happy new year 2013.
After another workshop in eLab, we can be proud for organizing another successful event. In this second workshop, all the participants had the opportunity to learn about some of the most common methods used for the homemade manufacture of printed circuit boards. A total of 5 methods of transferring the circuitry to the board were demonstrated: UV light exposure with acetate sheet and greaseproof paper, toner transfer to a magazine sheet and to foil and finally by applying a negative dry film. Also, 2 corrosion processes were demonstrated: through iron perchlorate and through a mixture of muriatic acid and hydrogen peroxide.
We announce that eLab will organize its second workshop next Wednesday, November 21st at 4.30 pm. This workshop will be about the different methods for making PCBs (printed circuit boards), where each participant will have the opportunity to learn about some common methods and make its own PCB.
In the middle of a project we are developing, we felt the need to create some PCBs (printed circuit boards) so we used the opportunity to prepare our next workshop. We experimented and got to know a new method for creating PCBs, a method usually known as toner transfer.
In eLab’s third week, we’ve continued the projects we had previously started:
Welcome to eLab’s blog! This will be the first of many posts about the projects developed by the Electrical and Electronics Engineering students, ex-students of the Superior Institute of Engineering in the University of the Algarve and also from other members.
