I had the urge to go through the process of making a custom FSTN LCD panel. So I thought I'd make some sort of digital kitchen timer type thing. Segments of a circle go dark as as time elapses - or something like that. I also went out and made a nice anodized aluminium case for it.
</p>
<p>
With backlight on, inside its case:

Without backlight:

</p>
<p>
I'm not quite happy yet with all that bleeding through what should be a black background. It looks quite crisp with the backlight off though. Perhaps no backlight at all to save power?
</p>
<p>
For now, this has scratched my itch and it's going on the shelf until further notice.

<p>
We had the need to test a custom module that came back from assembly in modest quantity. The module is meant to be soldered onto another PCB via castellated pins and is very small.
</p>
<p>
<a href="https://bitmorse.com/_detail/blog/img_4011.jpeg?id=start" class="media" title="blog:img_4011.jpeg"><img src="https://bitmorse.com/_media/blog/img_4011.jpeg?w=400&tok=5e5db3" class="media" alt="" width="400" /></a>
</p>
<p>
Holding a multimeter probe (even if it's a PCBite) up to it by hand would be a nightmare so, I designed a little test jig that uses 0.7mm (!) pogo pins (<a href="https://www.distrelec.ch/de/federkontakt-16-mm-rundkopf-ptr-hartmann-1007-7n-au-49/p/30019672?track=true&no-cache=true&marketingPopup=false" class="urlextern" title="https://www.distrelec.ch/de/federkontakt-16-mm-rundkopf-ptr-hartmann-1007-7n-au-49/p/30019672?track=true&no-cache=true&marketingPopup=false" rel="ugc nofollow">MPN: 1007-D-0.7N-AU-0.49</a>).
</p>
<p>
The jig is 3d printed with the 0.4mm standard nozzle diameter and surprisingly comes out well. Even if it's hitting the resolution limit of the Prusa.

If you cut a thin, flexible PCB, you may bridge bottom groundplane with top traces if you solder on the cutting edge. Therefore remove ground from the designated cutting+soldering areas.
