I made a PCB for the first time :D I've always wanted to make one before but it's always felt really scary and complicated to me but yesterday I decided to give it a try and do something for solder to learn how to make one and for something I'm hoping to do later this month. It's a pretty simple circuit that basically lights up an led when you press the button. It doesn't do much but I'm really proud that I was actually able to make something and that it theoretically works. Need to decide what I'm going to actually make for solder though

Ok so today ive worked way too much on this Mod PCB for the xbox 360 controller that makes it USB-C inspired by this but mine is going to be open source and better but i think i got it! its done! i'm going to buy a few with money from #C07F3EA2L8G|

After digging through Sprig’s schematics, figuring out the right CircuitPython libraries, and spending countless hours debugging errors in Thonny’s serial shell, I finally got my <https://github.com/Irtaza2009/Hackamon|Hackamon code> (submission to #C0809PN4TPE|

) running on an *Orpheus Pico* on *Sprig*

made a case!! should include tolerances for the pcb/screen so they fit in easily, but securely i've managed to get my 3d printer to be precise up to 0.1mm (which i still find crazy) so this should be easy to print just gotta carve out holes for charging and buttons when i design the pcb cad.onshape.com/documents/cb7162e245d0900f508fcb50/w/940c990f9d72fb5903e72538/e/1f520369415ae0e248c4032d check out progress in #C08MTCZ6GCS|!

Pixeldust PCB in progress! It's my first time working on a project other than Swirl

in a while and is quite exciting! So far a lot of what I have added is very similar to my HackPad and I want to expand my horizons, am planning on adding a temp sensor, and maybe try an oled, light sensor, ultrasonic distance, soil etc as I have never used sensors before and want to see what i can do! Im first going to see if I can figure out the temp sensor though as it is quite confusing

Lazy day + was busy with Eid al fitr, but I did do some tweaks with the PCB. Ran the DRC and i got 0 errors or violations which is neat. Just need to keep tweaking until it makes sense. Also forgot to add a diode for the charging module 😭 😭 😭 have a feeling thats important...

MOORE editing my PCB! Kinda confused myself with the vias, turns out you dont need them when your PCB is only two copper layers and you got through hole pads. Fun!

Today I started workin on the PCB of one my projects. Honestly, I'm at least 90% sure I'm doing this wrong, but the fun thing about learning is making dumb mistakes and trying again.

Im pretty new to PCB design, let me know how I did. This is a little nerdy (im super into physics rn) but im pretty close to finishing the design of an Alpha particle spectrometer PCB perhaps to send up in Apex! Currently I need a way to store oscilloscope information I dont know how to get (If i send it up, please let me know if you know how to make this thing store acutal info cuz i have no idea) but right now it should be suitable for home experiments if you have an oscilloscope. Inspired by an old CERN OHL design, it uses a subsequent charge preamplifier and high-pass signal filter (all those resistors and capacitors) to get a good reading of the power spectrum from the photodiode on that signal hole.

Day 5 of #C045S4393CY|

didnt have time to work on the 3d printer but did a 5 hour cafe speedrun for my keyboard pcb

day 4 of #C045S4393CY| got some work done on the schematic. fixed some errors in the matrix wiring and assigned footprints for key types. next on the list is figuring out stabs, then i can get to work on the actual pcb!

https://scrapbook-into-the-redwoods.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/cf1c5970-20b7-4e72-8c21-6566ebabe4e5-image.png

Today I worked a little bit more on the PCB. I got to the batteries, where I am going to use 18650 Li-ion cells, and I will integrate a battery charger into the circuit. I also started with the footprints and only have to do the terminals now. I also worked a little on the theroritical side on how I was going to make it. I realized that I will probably not get the PCB before cafe is over so from tommorw I will also work on a temporary solution for my hexapod.

Day 3/15 of #C045S4393CY|! this was supposed to be yesterday but scrappy was offline

Just another boring day on working on my Hackboard case! + Rerouted some parts on my PCB • Put my Pico in a better position but it was a pain in the ass because the new KiCAD updated is so buggy at least for me like it keeps freezing and crashing. And because the project was made in a older version things where not really compatible but i got it done with no DRC errors! • I made adjustments to the top acrylic part because in the old version the USB-C would not fit. • Added screw holes to the case. • Rendered some really awesome pics of my keyboard.

Day 3 of #C045S4393CY|! I didn’t make too much progress, but there was a whole lot of struggle trying to find the footprints for the leds and resistors that I wanted. Lot of searching online trying to find the right part happened today. Once I finally found and assigned the footprints I needed, I tried to import them all into the pcb, but when I did, all I could see was the ratsnest of connections that needed to be made, but I couldn’t see any of the components. I’ll be figuring that out tomorrow.

day 1/15 of #C045S4393CY|! Today i worked on my Hackboard (its the full keyboard on Hackpad) • Resized PCB because i decided to make a different style case. • Searched components for my keyboard: Stabilizers, switches, keycaps • started to make the new case design. Which will be a acrylic sandwich style.

i completed my hackpad v2 pcb + schematic :3 im not suuuper satisfied with the routing and wish kicad had an auto-router like easyeda but i guess i did learn a bunch of new things in the process (working with pcbs without making a 1:1 copy of a tutorial & actually understanding matrixes and mech keyboard operations) github repo: cryptpad macropad original update on 12/17/24 :D

Finally completed my PCB for #C083CCAAHM1|, it took like quite some time and even both KiCad and kicad-wakatime crashed multiple times at the same time, ~@/lux please don't murder me~. Just imported the PCB to Fusion and it's time to design the casing for it :)

I spent a couple hours today trying to get all the components to fit on a 2s battery 40 amp modular PSU pcb I'm currently routing. On my small board, just a USB-C connector takes a HUGE amount of space. Its like half the height of the board! I'll try to make it work, but space is sure at a premium, and I don't want to skimp on copper trace thickness either. This board is part of a larger modular control board project called CACKLE, Card Adaptable Controller Kinetic Link Electronics. github.com/techy-robot/CACKLE

Today I experimented with a feature that I haven't used before in KiCAD: Net class Directives. This helps you section off nets that you are routing and to have pre-defined settings that are different for each group. It should speed up routing with automatic trace widths. I'm currently routing a PCB for my USB-C and 2s battery 40 amp modular PSU.

today I worked on a pong game for arduino using a dot matrix display. My arduino's analog pins might be broken though, as the potentiometers are not reading, but a simple circuit with them and a light works perfectly fine 😞

Today I did some cleanup of my Kicad schematic and I added some circuitry for the USB-C connector for my modular PSU pcb. Almost ready for layout. This board is part of a larger project called CACKLE, Card Adaptable Controller Kinetic Link Electronics. github.com/techy-robot/CACKLE

Today I reworked my schematic for a modular 40 amp PSU to use a CH32 microcontroller (CH32X035) instead of an STM32. My goal is to save costs and add USB-C Power delivery capability for charging a battery.
