Overview

In order to buils some other stuff, like the NURDled and the CC2850 zigbee modules, we need a more ergonomic method to populate the boards rather than manually populate them with a pair of tweasers. So I'm building a crude, but handy manual PNP machine

• Wood
• USB Microscope
• Tubing
• Footswitch
• Airpump

• Misc

Todo
