Journal Entry #0076
2026-01-03, Matt DiPalma, Marian Scientific, AMDG
Used Inkscape to put a bunch of the background copper and silkscreen masks onto a single sheet and printed that on glossy paper.
Transferred that over to a copper-clad board and scored and snapped it to size using a vice.
Etched the copper away,
and then drilled holes into the board. In the future I might remove the extreme 2 rows of pin headers on each side of the Atmega, as they are a pain to drill.
Then, because we had some shorts from the copper pads being slightly too fat, I cut them apart using a razor blade.
Failed the toner transfer of the foreground silkscreen. Will try again tomorrow.
