News and notes from Pogo Robotics — product updates, design-for-test practice, and what we're building next.
Height reconstruction from a fixed-distance camera on a moving stage
An experiment on the Pogo prototype — reconstructing a board's height in 3D from 40 photographs taken at one working distance, using the motion stage as the ruler. What worked on one board, and the two error sources that dominate what is left.
First Contact — the Pogo prototype touches a board
A camera calibrated at board height finds the fiducials, fits board coordinates onto the machine, and a single pogo pin comes down on every top-side pad. An honest tour of the bench prototype behind the software.
Hello, World! — Pogo v1
Our first formal release. A ten-feature tour of the DFT analyser — from a zip of fab files to an optimised, exportable test-point plan.
Introducing Pogo Robotics
A web tool that reads the same fab files your board house gets and tells you — before you order — whether your board can actually be tested.
