Assembly of the K1 RF Board continues. Today, I added 49 more components in 115 minutes. This means the RF Board assembly time so far is 7.5 hours after 193 components, and the total K1 assembly time now stands at 19.5 hours. There are about 60 components left, including the six coils. I’m guessing it will take about 1.5 hours to fabricate the coils; add in another 2 hours for the rest, which brings the total to 23 hours. That leaves another 2 hours to do the final mechanical assembly and alignment. 25 hours seems like a reasonable finish time now.
The good news is all the voltage and resistance tests passed.
