Let's take a look at the 200x USB MicroScope that came in the mail a while back.

http://plugable.com/products/usb2-micro-200xI picked up this little microscope to help with documenting the small SMT devices found on modern circuit boards. Specifically, I wanted to look at the details on the components in the various Craftsman C3 Lithium Ion battery management boards that I have been looking at.
Finding out the IC part numbers can help find out what the function of the chip is and then what functions the overall BMS board might have.
I'll experiment with the microscope on the various PBCs I have and see how to best arrange lighting and viewing angles to capture the best images of some of the part numbers and circuit arrangements on these BMS boards and see if we can make any sense of what functions they perform. So stay tuned to this channel for updates as I make progress.
Thanks for watching!
