Greetings, traveler. You’ve arrived at the main branch — the heart and soul of this repository. Think of this as the command center where logic meets creativity.
This is PCB F.O.R.G.E. — For Opportunities Reviving Great Era. A cost-effective CNC soldering machine designed to revolutionize PCB manufacturing for startups and small-scale electronics producers. It’s a fusion of innovation, precision, and accessibility.
- Built using Raspberry Pi Zero W, DVD player stepper motors, and a 3D printer extruder.
- Features a Flask-based web app for intuitive control and automation.
- Utilizes OpenCV for solder pad detection and GPIO for CNC control.
- Power-efficient design using a 12V 5A SMPS with precise voltage regulation.
- Future plans include PCB milling, SMD component placement, and PCB masking.
- Professional-grade PCB manufacturing at a fraction of the cost.
- Simplified soldering process with automated precision.
- Empowering small businesses and hobbyists with accessible tools.
- Potential to expand into multi-functional PCB production.
