I finished soldering my circuit boards! I made two so that they can be hooked up to each other and tested. Working on the boards was an effort since the components are tiny but working under a microscope certainly made it easier. After finishing up with the soldering, we tried testing the boards. So far it isn’t working but I think it’s a problem with the headphones we’re using and not the boards.
Outside of soldering, I’m still working with the pressure housings. I’ve definitely gotten my steps in walking up and down the stairs from the lab to the machine shop carrying the chunks of titanium. But the good news is that the work is getting done quickly so the housings can be reassembled and pressure tested.
