How to Reverse Engineer Electronics: Building a Developer Board for a Coding Class

There's a point for every electronics maker where you get intrigued by bare metal programming on microcontrollers. But switching over from Arduino to bare C or Rust can be frightening, so Bradán Lane Studio has developed a course with a dedicated coding kit to learn C programming on Attiny chips. Clem wanted to get started with this course, but he discovered that the kit can't be shipped to his country. So he embarks on a reverse engineering journey to (ethically) produce a local clone of the device! This video shows you just the highlights of Clem's process, but we have the full hour-long journey as a bonus for you on the Element14 Community: https://bit.ly/3VwCb4s Buy the original ACK1 on tindie: https://www.tindie.com/products/bradanlane/ack1-avr-coding-kit/ Link to get the reverse engineered PCB directly from Aisler: https://aisler.net/p/XUCASAZQ Engage with the element14 presents team on the element14 Community - suggest builds, find project files, and see behind the scenes video: https://bit.ly/3tmdewv Visit the element14 Community for more great activities and free hardware: https://bit.ly/3q6YMpu Tech Spotlights: https://bit.ly/3qPrDhM RoadTest and Reviews: https://bit.ly/3pV5Bux Project14: https://bit.ly/31wbnJY #0:00 Welcome to element14 presents #0:53 Overview #2:58 Research - What Do We Know Already? #3:55 Reverse Engineering! #24:17 PCB Assembly #25:40 Some Problems #27:04 It's Working! #29:51 Give Your Feedback #pcbdesign #pcbdesigning #printedcircuitboard #pcb #baremetal #arduino #rust
