-## Overview 
- 
-In a few words, it's a LED-based PCB exposure box. Most designs of PCB exposure boxes are based around UV-tubes, or a lot of 5mm UV leds. I chose to try with 1W UV-LEDs. The design aims to be: 
- 
-* Portable 
-  * Not fragile, like UV-tubes are. 
-  * Small, since I rarely need to expose an A4-sized PCB. 
-  * Big enough for standard sizes of PCB, I chose to go with 100x160mm which is already more than what I'm used to. 
-* Easy to use 
-  * Autonomous: Put your PCB in, start, come back when it's done 
-  * Adjustable, since different PCB, traces sizes, ... require different exposure parameters.

-* The first one is the first prototype, on a breadboard, with a Teensy2.0 instead of an Attiny44 
-* The next two are the actual prototype (there was a mistake on the PCB, involving a quick fix to get the backlight) 
-* The last one is the Power Interface to drive the LEDs, it's a phototransistor (4n35), followed by a N-Channel Power MOSFET. And yes, this is ... messy, but it works as expected, so I might integrate it in the next revision of the PCB

-## PCB

-## Case 
- 
-The case is made of PVC (and PMMA for the bottom I think) cut on a small CNC. 
-I first made a design on Catia V5, to see where to place the LEDs and stuff, and then redesigned the parts on Galaad, which was a good training exercise.

- 
-The top is still to be defined, but I think it'll be in two parts, one to hold/hide the electronics, the other, on hinges, to hold the LEDs and allow access to the PCB that's being exposed.

-## SVN Repository 
- 
-Right now, that's the only resource available. The whole project is under GPLv3, so feel free to improve it.
