First livestream. I’ll be going over design to product using KICAD, Fusion 360 and discuss what it takes to complete a product design that has embedded microcontroller, high current control, and a complex pcb enclosure. This product was designed to control high current loads in my Polaris RZR 1000 S and to access it’s canbus.

Machining the topside of the PCB enclosure. A tool is dropped by the ATC and the first use of the Fanuc LCD Upgrade for the CNC mill. Tool change fails.

The final facing operation on the PCB enclosure. Checking the fit and finish of the controller pcb.

Finishing bottom section of the PCB Enclosure.

Making a CNC PCB enclosure with form tapped holes for the solid-state relay multiplexer. Thread forming with a balax tool. Form tapping is ideal for PCB enclosures. Products I used to make this video. Solid 123 Blocks - Amazon http://amzn.to/2vreDC1

Making a simple vise step jaw for a machining a 6061 PCB enclosure for a solid state relay module / controller. The design was done in Fusion 360 and machined using my Excel VMC. The step jaw fits the DX6 Crossover Kurt vise.

In this video I rework boards used for reverse polarity testing to be used as test devices on the RS-485 bus.

Cut footage from the RZR multiplexer footage thanking an awesome company for doing things right. Best customer experience ever and a key tool to prototyping.

Testing inputs - optoisolation.

Building a prototype, by hand, of the mini multiplexer board. I go over stencil paste for the PCB, hand placement of parts, and reflowing. Testing the first two boards of this revision.
