Week 4: Milling a PCB
This week's task was to mill a basic PCB and solder the necessary parts to make it all function. The main issue i ran into was just the software for the carvera, but i got both MackeraCAM and the controller to run on Linux. I had to use the program Bottles. Bottles makes it blissfully easy to install missing dependencies and manage runtime options. The main dependencies i needed for the software to run was Vcredist 2022 for the Visual C++ libraries.
