ITS ALIVE!!

just fixed the README and bom

IT’S STILL $70 DOLLARS FOR TWO

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
im lwk going crazy uh

why is it so expensive 😭
it’s mostly just the extended part library for the pcba so i’ll optimize that some more, i fixed all the positions today

alr gng i just spent 2 hours sourcing parts
i also made the github repo, i think this project is ready to submit, can yall tell me if its ready?

IM almost DONE

yay :3
im so done with this bro but i still have to do art for the silkscreen
also, the thing on the computer in real life????

#yo what’s up guys
@Corvid told me to redo my traces so i did, definitely worth it though. now the usb c isnt off center and i also added power pins to the back

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

oh my god im going insane, anyways… i copied over the entire raspberry pico schem (by hand) and added a battery circuit and i still have 39 unrouted traces :3

so i decided to make a custom pcb
im also going to start designing the final version
btw, will my charging circuit explode?

i started work on the pcb for the full size wearable and apparently i hate myself because someone decided it would be a good idea to make the battery charging circuit from scratch
(1 ak)

i finished the full scale v1 prototype(left is full size ear, right is the ear used on the previous prototype

so i made v3.5, there’s some rope tension issues, but I think i can move on to make a full scale prototype

I did a bunch of printing today, the v3 servo assembly is done, I still need to remake the v3.5 base because of tolerances

gng, how long does it usually take for the people at hackclub hq to review a design, i really want to ship something during stardance(btw, my slack isnt working, thats why im posting here)(the image is of the final version of the pcb)

alr gng, i finished the firmware! yeppi yay :3

i set up the github page and made the BOM and CPL file because i am not going to hand solder those tiny smd componets

i got done with the cad

the final design has 5 cherry mx switched, 1 rotary encoder, and 1 led
now i just have to make the firmware
i redid the traces again because one of my friends called it “horrible” and they said it was so bad that they would “do it for me”

im having so much fun bro

im gonna abandon all my other projects for like a week so i can actually ship something during stardance, im almost done with cad(pcb design is so fun) i also redid all the traces because it looked like spagetti. I’m DREADING the firmware though
ps: rn i have no motivation for my other projects, im still riding the high from starting a new project

i finished the case & the pcb
i have 6 switches and 3 leds
i feel so much more motivation for this project tbh
