This is an Simple RP2040 powered devboard which I designed myself!
I messed the wiring in KiCAD by using 2 almost identical but very different 3.3v nets and did not spot it until I fabricated my board. I fixed it by using a bodge wire to wire the 3.3v pin from the voltage regulator to one of the 3.3v pins on the decoupling capacitors. In the end I think I fried the voltage regulators on both my boards as they were only outputting 1.3v, I ended up hijacking the 3.3v pins on my arduino uno to provide my board with the power is required!

I troubleshooted, assembled and tested the devboard.

When I got my devboard, I realised that it didn’t work because there were 2 3.3v nets and they were not being connected, after linking the 2 3.3v nets together using a bodge wire I realised that the devboard still wasn’t getting enough power as the 3.3v voltage regulator was only outputting 1.3v, I ended up using an Arduno Uno’s 3.3v pins + some jumper cables to provide power to the board.

In the end I was able to make the board work just fine without too many problems!!

here is a picture of the board in the end

I completed most of the schematics for the slave drones including the IMU and Magnetometer, the only thing remaining to wire up are the motor contacts, added and wired up the ESP32
