12 devlogs
10h 5m 1s

This is a custom dev board made by me. I am just starting to design PCBs. V2 is coming soon.

In the project working screenshots, you can see that I did not order the PCB yet, but the devlogs, schematic, and PCB layout show that everything is correctly connected. Because this is a hardware project, the experienceable URL is essentially the README.

This board is an Arduino-based board, so it can do most of the things an Arduino can do (although it does not have a battery management system). The board follows the layout of a Raspberry Pi Pico.

Shipped this project!

I made a costum devboard for robotics. You connect cables to its pins and then you connect it to other things to make a motor work or a sensor read data.

I learned how capacitors and resistors work and how to connect all the parts togheter :)

I worked a little more to log the ret of my minutes that weren’t logged. I rearrenged some vias to be more correct.

Wow very very complex

I finally resolved all the violation errors. Just 2 errors remained (they are totally unnecessary in this case).

I added my signature on the board and I tried to add images, but it didn’t go well.

I finished all my PCB and I added a GND filling. I also got lost of any important errors from drc.

I finished tracing the routes!!!

After a ton of work, I rearranged my pieces in a more ergonomic way (meaning a layout that makes tracing easier).

I arranged all the parts on the PCB and routed the USB-C and flash memory, although it is still a bit messy.

I changed the flash memory to a smaller one. I also arranged some of the parts on the PCB.

I added footprints to all the pieces, placed my components on the PCB, and created a rectangle for the board size.

I added a RP2040 microcontroller and i created some decoupling capacitors + I added labels to the GPIO pins. I also added a USB-C port. All inside kicad schematic.
