As we gear up for launch day, listen to the conclusion of Preparing for a Product Launch. (We highly recommend listening to Part 1 before diving into this episode!)

What actually goes into launching a hardware product? What can be worked on in advance, and what has to be perfectly timed with the launch date? In this OHM episode, we share some of the things we have learned from the multiple launches we've done ourselves. https://buff.ly/4cSE6rA

Every PCBA in a LumenPnP is assembled USING a LumenPnP! This one is building ring lights for the next batch of machines in production.

The president of the Open Source Hardware Association, Thea Flowers, stopped by to school us on open hardware licensing. We start by going over the scope of permissivity regarding licenses, beginning with the most open type of license available and progressing from there. https://buff.ly/3S3Y2zD

We've just released a whole new setup tutorial series for the LumenPnP! This series walks you through the entire process of calibrating your machine, tuning your placements, and running your first production job. Go check it out!

0402 is SMALL. The LumenPnP is capable of populating boards with parts as small as 0402, clocking in at only 1mm by 0.5mm!

Another success from one of our old, yet great, reflow ovens. What reflow oven are you using? We'd love to know!
