Well, I've almost assembled one ultramicron. I still haven't installed the geiger tube because I've run out of isopropyl alcohol so I can't properly clean the PCB yet, I'll buy some tomorrow and install the geiger after cleanup.
Here are some pictures:
Part way through assembly:
After reflow and fixing some minor shorts. Note the flux residue.(yes, I've reflowed the motor but I think these are reflowable and if not... well... YOLO):
Charging the battery (led not visible due to flash):
As you see I've done a little mod to include a connector for the battery. It's an SMD connector hacked to somewhat fit in there. I've checked and there should still be enough clearance with the case. I've also checked that the geiger can still be assembled and fit in the case this way.
I have uploaded the DFU bootloader succesfully and then loaded the firmware via DFU. No problems there. The micron is detected as a virtual com port but I have issues with the USB geiger program. It doesn't detect the micron automatically (I've assigned the micron to COM2) and this is how the program looks like in my computer (Win 7 64bit, windows classic theme, 1920x1080 screen resolution):
Any clue?
Also, after assembly, programming and powe up I've checked the voltage at the tube terminal and my crappy multimeter tells me it's 200V when it should be 400. Probably the multimeter is loading the supply too much to keep the voltage up... what do you think? I'll check with a real high-z meter at work one of these days.
