@Circuitdigest Місяць тому
The PCBs for the drone are manufactured by JLCPCB. Components were sourced from different vendors such as digikey, quartzcomponents etc. And all the PCBs are assembled by our self, depending on the size and complexity we may use stencil for that purpose. For this particular project we didn't use any stencils. All components are hand soldered.
