조립 가이드
3-5 hoursBeginner
1
Procurement & Preparation
- Procure all BOM components including ATSAMD21G18A-AU MCU, MCP73831T-2ACI/OT charger, WS2812C-2020-V1 RGB LED, SI2302CDS-T1-GE3 MOSFET, CUI Devices CMI-1206S-85T buzzer, passive components (resistors, capacitors, 0805/0603 decoupling caps), USB Type-C connector, 3.7V LiPo battery, and custom two-layer PCBs.
- Prepare the SMT stencil, clean the bare PCB pads with isopropyl alcohol, and secure the PCB on the stencil alignment table.
2
Hardware Assembly & Wiring
- Apply lead-free Type 4 solder paste across all exposed SMT pads using a squeegee blade at a 45-degree angle.
- Place all surface-mount components (ATSAMD21G18A-AU, MCP73831, WS2812C-2020 RGB LED, AO3400A/SI2302 MOSFET, CMI-1206S-85T buzzer, and passives) onto their designated pads using a pick-and-place machine or precision tweezers under a microscope.
- Run the populated PCB through a reflow soldering oven following the SAC305 temperature profile (preheat to 150-180°C, peak temperature 240-245°C).
- Manually solder through-hole header pins for breadboard compatibility along the perimeter of the board using a controlled soldering iron.
3
Firmware Setup
- Install the Arduino IDE and add the Adafruit SAMD Board package via the Board Manager to support the ATSAMD21G18A architecture.
- Connect the board to the computer via USB Type-C, put the MCU into bootloader mode by double-pressing the reset button, and verify the virtual COM port appears.
- Flash the initial test firmware implementing FastLED/Adafruit_NeoPixel routines for the WS2812B-2020 LED, analogWrite tone control for the buzzer via the AO3400A MOSFET, and USB enumeration.
4
Testing & Calibration
- Perform an automated optical inspection (AOI) or visual inspection under magnification to check for solder bridges, cold joints, or tombstoning passives.
- Plug in a 3.7V LiPo battery and connect USB power to test the MCP73831 charging circuit, verifying that the charging status indicator (WS2812B) transitions properly from charging to full charge.
- Execute the full diagnostic test sketch verifying RGB LED color cycles, buzzer audio frequency output via PWM/MOSFET, and stable USB serial communication.
