I made a custom keypad using open source tools
In this video, I show how I made a custom keypad with open source tools and a CNC machine. Using KiCAD, FlatCAM and CNCjs I design a custom keypad for an upcoming project. This was then made using a partially restored 6040 CNC machine with a water-cooled spindle. I could have ordered this from an on-demand PCB manufacturing service, but as I am new to making circuit boards, I wanted to be sure the circuit was correct before I ordered 5 of them. I will likely use an on-demand service in the future and possibly make a video of my experience. 0:00 Project Overview 0:27 What is KiCad 0:46 Circuit Overview 1:43 PCB Layout 2:31 What is FlatCAM 3:27 Milling the Circuit Board 4:40 Milling Allingment Pins 5:09 Probing and Milling Side A 6:09 Flip the Circuit Board 6:30 Probing and Milling Side B 6:46 Drilling Holes 7:17 Milling Edge Cuts 7:42 Drilling Mbites 8:00 Completed Jobs and Clean-up 8:30 Inserting Vias and Soldering Switches ⬆️ Links ⬆️ 🌎 Website - https://www.theiqworkshop.com 🛒 Apparel - https://www.theiqworkshop.com/apparel/ (15% off for the inital 15 days) 📷 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/iqsworkshop ☕ Support me at Buy Me a Coffee - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/iqworkshop Support the channel by considering using one of the below affiliate links - I will earn a small commission from qualifying purchases ========== - 3D Printing Eryone Filaments - https://amzn.to/3NdhPt9 Elegoo Water washable resin - https://amzn.to/3PenD88 Magigoo bed treatment - https://amzn.to/442F3Jf - CNC 1/4 inch Downcut endmill - https://amzn.to/3Nr8b67 1/4 inch Ball nose end mill - https://amzn.to/3CRDUZv 1/4 inch Surfacing bit - https://amzn.to/3NzV6Jd 3.175mm Engraving bits - https://amzn.to/3PgJX1a 3.175mm Single flute end mill - https://amzn.to/3Cz91st Single Phase to 3 Phase VFD Spindle Controller - https://amzn.to/448LJWl ER11 Spring Collets (1/8inch & 1/4Inch)- https://amzn.to/4469Q7M Dust Shoe Brush Material - https://amzn.to/44ZvJXe - Electronics Temp & Humidity sensor (DHT11) - https://amzn.to/443lYq6 ESP6266 Development board (Wemos D1 Mini) - https://amzn.to/3Napmc3 JST-PH battery leads and connectors - https://amzn.to/3Cz0shv 103453 LiPo Battery - https://amzn.to/43MAzqn WS2812B (neopixel) Matrix display - https://amzn.to/3CvVl1l Gateron Blue (Cherry MX compatible) - https://amzn.to/43G1bJy Leadded Solder - https://amzn.to/3pggM3v Single Channel Relay - https://amzn.to/43SwUGG 0.35mm Enameled Wire - https://amzn.to/3PeYAlo 2 and 3 pin screw terminals (5mm pitch) - https://amzn.to/3Qklmc5 12V 5A Power Supply - https://amzn.to/43Fqonj Breadboard jumper wire kit - https://amzn.to/3NalfNa - Tools Head Mount Magnifier - https://amzn.to/3N7g40x 1/4-20 UNC Tapping Die - https://amzn.to/3Pa2YlP Soldering Iron and Hot Air Station - https://amzn.to/3pbtxwc 6inch/150mm Digital Caliper - https://amzn.to/3Pd05AN Pop Rivet Gun - https://amzn.to/3X7qq5f Nitrile Gloves - https://amzn.to/3Pbz28U BACOENG 12ltr Vaccum Chamber - https://amzn.to/3CvL0Tk - Gear Raspberry Pi 4 Heatsync - https://amzn.to/46jvYOj Rode Wireless GO II Microphone - https://amzn.to/43Khl4P Samsung 128GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive - https://amzn.to/43K9bsW
