PCB Manufacturing Process: All You Need to Know
Creating a printed circuit board (PCB) is a systematic process that begins with meticulous design and material selection, crucial for ensuring functionality and durability. The initial steps involve the application of a thin layer of copper over a substrate material, typically a fiberglass substrate reinforced with epoxy resin and glass fiber, which provides the necessary rigidity and electrical insulation. This copper layer is then patterned to form conductive areas that will eventually carry electrical signals.
The layout design process utilizes advanced CAD software for precision, ensuring that the conductive paths and component placement areas are accurately defined. Once the design is finalized, it's transferred onto the PCB using photo reactive chemicals and UV exposure, a process known as outer layer imaging. This method allows for the precise alignment of layers and the creation of intricate circuit patterns.
After the design transfer, the excess copper is removed through a careful etching process, leaving behind the copper traces that form the circuitry. The PCB then undergoes a laminating process to apply a solder mask, a protective layer that covers the entire board while exposing the areas where components will be soldered. This solder mask application is crucial for preventing short circuits and ensuring the longevity of the PCB.
Following the application of the solder mask, a silkscreen printing process adds labels and markings to the PCB, aiding in component placement and board identification. The final step in the fabrication processes involves applying a surface finish, such as tin plating, to protect the exposed copper and ensure a reliable soldering surface. Other surface finishes like HASL (Hot Air Solder Leveling) or ENIG (Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold) are also used depending on the application requirements.
Throughout the PCB manufacturing process, precision is maintained through the use of technologies like CNC machines for accurate drilling of holes that will accommodate electronic components. Each part of the PCB fabrication process, from the initial design to the final surface finish, is critical to enhancing the PCB's electrical performance and longevity.
The final stages of assembly involve the placement of components onto the PCB, often by a contract manufacturer specializing in PCB assembly. This is followed by soldering, which can be done through various methods, to securely attach the components to the board.
Rigorous electrical tests are conducted to validate the PCB's performance, ensuring that it meets stringent quality standards before integration into electronic devices. These tests verify the integrity of the conductive paths, the correct orientation of components, and the overall functionality of the PCB.
This holistic approach underscores the importance of meticulous craftsmanship and thorough quality assurance in producing reliable PCBs that power our modern gadgets effectively. Each step, from the initial plating process to the final surface finishing, contributes to enhancing the PCB's electrical performance and longevity, making it a vital component in the electronics industry.

ACT 2 "You're... me?" "That's right, stardust!"
You know I've been drawing Loop as their Siffrin form so much that it's got me thinking. I've read and seen so many fics and artworks of Loop eventually getting back to looking like their old self, but I don't think I've seen any so far of Loop already being a mirror copy of Siffrin. So uh, yoink?
ISAT AU where the game plays out the same way (plot-wise at least) but Loop looks like Siffrin the whole time and while Siffrin is extremely perplexed that there's another him, he's still gotta accept their help because how else are they supposed to escape the loops? Good ol' Loop is here to help, helpful friendly Loop!
Siffrin is going through it still but Differently.
#In Stars and Time#ISAT#ISAT Spoilers#ISAT Siffrin#ISAT Loop#ISAT AU#illustration#digital art#artists on tumblr#the creativity process#fan art#id in alt#TCSS AU#think this is the first time i've come up with a proper AU at ALL so um! i'm going to call this#two coins same side au#EDIT: CHANGED THE AU NAME BECAUSE I HAD A BIG BRAIN MOMENT OTW HOME FROM WORK#honestly i already have lots of ideas for this. like how the intro convo goes and how act 5 plays out when siffrin has the Moment with loop#and ESPECIALLY with how the convo “who do you think i am” will be changed i have thought IMMENSELY about that#i'll get to that one first at some point! i've got a lot on my plate art-wise but i'm excited to do this haha#if i still did writing (and had the ideas for a good plot) i would do it but comics and excerpts will do for now

Trying to remember how to draw the Deltagang (I never knew in the first place)
#I FIND THEM ALL. SO DDIFFICULT TO DRAW#SUSIE TAKE A HIKE#the only joy I had in this entire process was giving Kris the little horn tufts of hair. and the heart chest plate#deltarune#kris dreemurr#susie deltarune#noelle holiday#kruselle#my post#my art

took a break from my main projects to do some visdev practice. have a line up for a layton fic that'll probably never see the light of day
#professor layton#hershel layton#flora reinhold#professor layton oc#visionary's labyrinth#<- making a new tag. in case i decide to do anything else w this#yes i reused my flora doodle </3 i didn't wanna completely redraw her so i just touched up the colors to match the overall palette#i'm trying to teach myself to get in the habit of documenting my creative process cause i tend to um. not do that for some reason LOL#im notttt great at writing prose and i already have a big comic project on my plate. so off to the backburner this one goes#might just use this as a space to practice concept art stuff instead of turning it into a full story. idk we'll see#i've got a majority of the premise/mystery figured out. but not the specific story beats#i guess i'll just toss this around and see what comes of it. shrugs#skip's art

I re-blonded my hair and cut my bangs 💛
#tbh this process was a mess#i just wanted to bleach my root#get it all back to blonde#i ended up with two different shades of blonde from top to bottom#its also a little darker than usual#im normally like a honey blonde#day one it was like an ash blonde#also coming out of the salon is felt rly bad#like super dry and fake#went home and washed it immediately to get it soft again and counter the toner a bit#also asked them to trim down my bangs and the tips cauze its all frayed and grown out and they just didnt#cut my bangs myself#tldr im getting a new stylist cuase this went bad#ive paid less for better#nobody mention my trash or plates 🤐#me#mine#selfie#girl#blonde#glasses

I am begging on my knees that Tumblr posts this. It has no audio but I cannot send it from my computer to phone and I want it archived lmao-
#spotatalk#Timeless Gaster#gaster oc#tw flashing lights#tw flashing#speedpaint#utmv#Finally designed Timeless in a way that I like but the gods will not let me share the magical process of designing him smh-#Timeless is such a goofy guy and I loved playing with his expressions! Got listening to a pkmn video that kinda put me into a trance>#He survives all the normal Easter Tragedies (tm) and goes on to help Asgore after the death of Asriel and the queen and king splitting#And by help I do mean that his cringe rizz rubs off on Asgore and they totally get together.#Omg the tag before this says easter. I hate my computer's auto-correct. Gaster. I meant Gaster#Anywho#Timeless ends up making Sans (hand plates style) and then finds a way to revive Asriel from his dust and a bit of Determination left over#from Chara plus a bit of Angora's magic as a base#And so Gaster is the father to Asriel and Sans and later Papyrus and is also the unofficial other king of the underground and is in a super#domestic relationship with Asgore#He is very very self-indulgent hehe

updating the Transparency mindmap for how to shorthand what's going on in there
#[.art]#[.oc]#Adam#of course most of the processing would be happening in the brain But he's probably got some other memory storage and colling systems and al#motorisation stuff mostly? I don't know I don't study robotics I'm basing myself of off human anatomy#his faux organ swag. Essentially#also he's got Bones (hollow) to hold the more delicate wires and for structural support#because the external-ish ones are cables and work more like tendons would#+ there's fixtures between plates that can open in order to get stuff fixed or updated

My not so close to cannon hc is that, after getting into college, Clarrise gets a car somewhere.
Some people assume she got it from her mom, or that Chris stole it for her, but the truth is she actually got it from Ares. Which means you can pretty much imagine what kind of car that is. It’s also unconfirmed but some of her brothers insist the car is magical in some way. Leo tried many time to convince her to let him see what the cars system is like on the inside, but was turned down in a not very nice way.
Very quickly she becomes the ‘carpool friend’ and also the one Chiron tasked with picking up demigods who go to school in NY at the end of semester and get them to CBH, there’s very few of them so she doesn’t mind, +some of them are mortified at the thought of getting in Clarrises car because of how fast she drives. The fist time Percy and Annabeth asked her for a ride, Percy said he was glad Ares didn’t offer to drive them to Vegas that one time, and Annabeth asked if the car really is magical, because she was convinced they should’ve crashed like ten times.
The only two people who will get in the car willingly and without any reason are Chris and Drew. Clarrise picks Drew up from school on regular basis whenever she comes to NY, and they just drive around. One time Sadie saw Clarrise picking Drew up and was convinced Drew was being kidnapped, the only reason she didn’t call the police was because she was stopped by Annabeth who introduced her to Clarrise.
#no one knows how she got her license….#ideas on what car she’s got??👀#yes Drew and Clarrise are friends in my head#I just feel like Clarrise really needs a sister and Drew needs someone who will take her seriously and also be on the same level of crazy#as her. And they have better chances of processing their grief over Silena together#also Clarrise looks either super cool or very weird to people who have never been to camp#she wears a bronze chest plate over her shirt on a regular basis + the pants she has in the show + combat boots#clarrise pjo#clarrise la rue#pjo clarrise#pjo clarisse#clarisse pjo#clarisse la rue#clarisse my beloved#chris pjo#drew tanaka#drew pjo#pjo disney+#clarisse x chris#chris rodriguez#percy jackson show#ares percy jackson#pjo annabeth#annabeth chase#sadie kane#pjo hoo toa#pjo headcanon#pjo hcs#riordanverse#percy jackson

Because I was really bored here is a Rodent playlist I made,
It’s mostly from Vincent’s point of view, and it follows no true order but it does set a vibe.
Have fun with it!

honestly i thought surtr was like some sort of hidden arknights boss or an ex-villain or something but she's just a passive mall goth lounging around and eating all my damn ice cream
#arknights#she doesnt leave my damn fridge alone#had to request a new minifridge through HR to hide my personal ice cream stash#(theyre original klondike bars. you see#only the original klondike bar has a solid chocolate casing hard enough that its a valid shell that doesnt crack or melt easily#and what i do is that in my office i use a spoon to introduce small microcracks into the klondike bar#to then pry apart by pieces and slowly deshell the klondike bar to eat its chocolate seperately from the ice cream#after ive finished eating all of the shell and ive properly left the ice cream proper nude#i proceed to eat the block of vanilla ice cream like a normal ice cream serving with the same spoon#using the foil itself as a plate for max efficiency#and upon finishing i lick the foil plate clean and politely fold up and throw away to minimize trash output as much as possible#thus ensuring a nice ice cream experience#but no surtr has to be like “bro just bite into the fucking ice cream its an ice cream sandwich”#BITCH you dont UNDERSTAND the PROCESS#WHICH ONE OF US IS THE TACTICIAN HERE????

I actually drew this ages ago when Dead Plate came out, but I was in my self-imposed hiatus. You get to see it now :)
It's pretty rough in terms of outline, but Rody is just so fun to draw. He is so silly to me. Also so silly how he hates bitter food and Manon can only ever make bitter food for him. And how the grilled hanger steak is bitter, isn't that so funny haha-

Is there anything that y’all would like to see addressed or visited in That Poison, Reconciliation? Like specific character interactions or explanations or scenes? I’ve got a general outline of the direction in which things will progress but I’m just curious to see if anyone has any suggestions or questions they want answered that I could potentially incorporate. I don’t want to leave any glaring plot holes or anything behind since I’m trying to keep the fic fairly short. I can’t promise that they’ll fit in, but if they don’t I can simply make individual posts about them instead. 😊
#just sincerely curious what all my besties might think👀#I’m in the developmental stage of the next chapter where I have to Think Real Hard about it in order to get it in my head#it’s like sticking it on a revolving plate and looking at it from every angle to see all the details#a frustrating but necessary part of my creative process…alas but to no avail#ao3: in the morning light#fisara’s scrawlings
