- The pogo pin programmer jig for the Index Motherboard is nearing completion! Last time, I got all the electronics designed and operating, but in this episode Lucian and I work on getting the mechanics of the jig together. The last step is software, then we'll be testing boards easy peasy!

As a test-engineer for one of the biggest automovie suppliers, I can tell you the way you did the jig is almost identical to our jigs, running since decades for a wide range of products. One point I would have done different: Get rid of the Raspberry Pi. I have had problems, even with high quality SD cards, of data corruption. Use a standard PC or laptop with test script on there, log data to a redundant and safe place (NAS with RAID). Having a GUI on the PC with a big screen in my opinion is far superior to 4 buttons / switches and no screen. Also, then you could have used a normal (USB) label printer to print your results.
Oh hey it me 😳 - this was a fun project! Got a little bit of a taste for all the work Stephen does making a video twice a month with all the filming I did for this one!
In Industrial Automation we usually do some negative masters of the product to test (with known problems) to test the machine over time and guarantee that the test it’s valid
Love seeing videos on what goes into midscale manufacturing. Quality control is essential and not something to only start thinking about in the 11th hour.
Imagine how cool it'd be to have a nice grafana dashboard on the central server, showing different graphs with all the errors, passed test etc...
I just finished binge watching all of your videos. It's extremely inspiring to have seen your work and progress. Hope the best for you!
Stephen, love your work and how you structure your videos. Great content man...Im always excited when i get notified of new uploads by you...keep it up
Absolutely love the direction this channel is going! Keep up the good work
Can you tell us where did you find that press in kit, please?
Never heard of drill taps before today, added that to my Amazon basket!
I thought your name was "Dawes" and I have been watching the entire Index series. Best youtube of a long project start to finish I've seen maybe ever though.
I will absolutely be building a few of these. Thank you for the inspiration just when I needs it 🏴👍
Great test jig
Honestly, this jig looks better than the one we were using to test the "product-that-must-not-be-named" (unsure if I'm still under NDA or not even though it was like 15 years ago) at a company I worked at years ago. Months before the "product-that-must-not-be-named" first released, there was a bug found in the circuitry involving one of the voltage regulators, and there was a board rework needed to fix it. "product-that-must-not-be-named" already manufactured a few hundred thousand units when this was found, so they contracted my work to handle fixing them. We had a similar test jig design to confirm operation of each unit after the rework, but is was nowhere near as clean as this one.
That looks like a great fixture kit. Can you post the link to where you bought it here?
Nice work guys !!!
I like the idea that you used the already created things and didn't try to be "smart" and start doing it from scratch. Excellent idea, just found your channel, like it, keep up with it 😀
This reminds me how similar and old some of the test fixtures I work with every day, and how some of them really could use a modern upgrade.
Im so happy, this is amazing
Add feature to reprint last test report in case you run out of paper while printing report
