@pbhak1day 7 of #C045S4393CY|!
done with pcb routing, will start work on case cad tomorrow!!
this took way too long, if they don't extend deadline i might be cooked
@HridyaAgrawal0Day 9 #C045S4393CY|
got PCB of my hackboard done
And for juice quite a lot of website stuff, but got syncing of most waves survived, gonna add other stats like zombies killed etc. error with updating is a few weird sql row security problems which il fix tmrw
@Rmardia6Day 4 of #C045S4393CY|. Today I worked on the PCB for a personal project of a hexapod. I made it foe cafe, but I will not get the PCB, before Monday, so tomorrow I will work a little bit on a physical prototype.
@Boa_n6day 5 of #C045S4393CY| today I speed ran a hack pad keyboard PCB. created a sprig game and worked on the BOM for my printer.
@Boa_n6Day 4 of #C045S4393CY| I worked on my printer adding a few features. I almost think I finished the printer head. I also worked on adding a pcb for an oled and buttons or smt
@Rmardia6Day 3 of #C045S4393CY|.
Today I "speedran" my hackpad for 5 and a half hours straight. I finished the schematic and the PCB, bur I did not have the courage to run the DRC today, so I will do that tomorrow. (Help, I am so tired)
didnt have time to work on the 3d printer but did a 5 hour cafe speedrun for my keyboard pcb
@pbhak1day 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!
@Rmardia6Today 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.
@Micha0Day 2 of #C045S4393CY|! I did this 2 days ago but forgot to post it - I added a command to OnBoard Live to check how many hours you've streamed!
@EmperorNumerius1Day 3 of #C045S4393CY| did some work on the forge pcb got only 2 rpoutes done bc i had homework and was struggleing mentallly lol
@Codelife4Day 3 of #C045S4393CY| Ideally, I planned to be done with the case, but we guess not cause I spent about an hour in the cafe flipping my pcb neopixel to the backside
@KittyCat0Day 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.
@Lukas-U08AT086H8E6day 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.
@EmperorNumerius1Day 1/15 for #C045S4393CY|
Worked on the Routing for the Forge PCB, reduced it from 45 Unrouted routes to 24 Unrouted Routes
@anne1i 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
@jumpsushi0Crappy Mtracker pcb thing
added all station names, minor silkscreen improvements for readability and clarity
surprisingly it doesn't look too bad
@Hash-AK0Learning KICAD to build a hardware project! I just finished the tutorial from Kicad's official website :
@dave91231Finally 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 :)
@Asher0I 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
@Asher0Today 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. This board is part of a larger modular control board project called CACKLE, Card Adaptable Controller Kinetic Link Electronics. github.com/techy-robot/CACKLE
@Asher0Today I started some layout and routing in Kicad for my USB-C and battery 40 amp modular PSU pcb. This board is part of a larger control board project called CACKLE, Card Adaptable Controller Kinetic Link Electronics. github.com/techy-robot/CACKLE
@DynamicWhiteHat0today 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 😞
@Asher0Today 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
@Asher0Today 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. This board is part of a larger project called CACKLE, Card Adaptable Controller Kinetic Link Electronics. github.com/techy-robot/CACKLE
@aryan0building a battlebot (12V, <3kg) for a school competition :D
Completed wiring and circuit, need to work on frame now
@Siwen0Continued work on the 4 port usb, routed all the connections up. I've decided to put a large hole at the top left for a keychain and multiple smaller holes for a mounting a 3d printed case I'll be designing later. I'm debating on if I should expose some of the pcb so I can put Silk screen art on it or lasercut a piece of plexiglass for the case. I also want to get everything on a breadboard so I can test if it actually works. I found out you can get breakout components for smd components and usb ports so I'm definitely going to buy some.
@Siwen0Today I researched info about USB-C for PCB design so with the end goal of a USB-C 4 Port Hub and started working on a 4 port version of the USB hub I was working on.
@Siwen0Today I did: the PCB Hacker Card jam and USB Hub jam
@RyanDiLorenzo-U04JGJN2B400I completed my first full PCB assembly using a PCB I made. The PCB I created it a re-creation of the stock one used for my 3D Printer that I added some new ports/connectors for, all without the original PCB files. I used both leaded solder and bismuth solder paste, this was my first time using solder paste and first time working with bismuth, I found bismuth's melting point to be excruciatingly low since the 4-layer PCB had so much thermal mass. Here are some photos I took along the way, lmk if anyone has questions.
@Amber0wow, been a while since I’ve scrapbooked, I should really get back into this!
Today I finished the schematic and PCB for my #C07LESGH0B0| submission! This is my first time doing anything like this and it was pretty fun! Tomorrow I'll be working on the case and, if I finish that, the firmware!
@YeGao0Been learning more about PCB desgin as I'm kinda of interested in soldering my bin parts onto a custom PCB
@TheScientist1010I forgot that I have to scrapbook for #C07NUNPGEU8|, so I thought I might make one now. While designing my #C07LESGH0B0|, I’m kind of stuck, I had everything routed, but I want to add more components, so I unrouted everything. I never thought I’d be able to design a PCB before, but I’m making progress. I figured out how to add a display, and all the switches, but my main problem now is that I don’t know how to make the keys RGB, and I am running out of GPIO pins. I’ve heard of something called an IO expander, which could fix my GPIO pin problem, but I still don’t know about the RGB. Also, I am currently at an FRC competition, so I will probably finish coding auton for that soon. I’ve done all this #C07LESGH0B0| yesterday and today, for a total of 6 or 7 hours so far just on this project, and 2 hours of (tracked) FRC work; I wasn’t tracking my FRC work earlier. I will update y’all on this and FRC soon!
On a side note, I got my friend to try #C07LESGH0B0|!
@YeGao0Tried to make a simple temperature pcb thingy
@YeGao0Finished the wiring and the outline, I might add more ports, I wonder if it possible to make it face up? Unfortunately I don't think there a cable at least in the PCB design phase
@GregorDavies-U04FX4ZMBJ90I shipped a opensource motor controller and datalogging system for Greenpower race cars, designed in order to maximise the speed and reduce the cost of these vechiles designed by young engineers and university teams. The motor controller is based around the RPI pico w and is a simple THT based pcb easy for teenagers to assemble and fix when at races, it's currently being made by jlcpcb thanks to onboard and I should be able to fit it to the car next week. Picture of me and my friends car jaws included which has been 13 years of work in the making. github.com/Gregor-Davies/Zevallos
@LinuxDino0PCB card part 2: (WIP). I am currently learning PCB design (for OnBoard). First, I followed the tutorial and learnt some basic stuff like how to use the CAD editor and search components, etc. Then I just decided to straight-up build a whole computer in the chip, which is actually a secret radio / tranceiver thing. This will be my final scrapbook. GitHub link: github.com/LinuxDinoGitHub/DinoCard
@AdityaPV0Introducing PCBs for Blot!!
You can experiment with printed electronics with a conductive ink pen and your blot with this.
Here is my implementation of my PCB with Blot.
(This project was done before the separate repo suggestion. Hence the file and the commits are in a common repo)
I have also attached some sessions of collatz conjecture project, since it doesn't deserve a separate post, and it was the starting point for this project.
