TW: Awful circuit design, electrical engineers beware
.
Devlog 9- Mae here! “I’ll post the next devlog tonight” she said, blissfully unaware of everything related to circuit design…
.
The good news is the first circuit board is finished! Below is the mess of wires and diodes that come together to let (some of) the buttons on the controller talk to the arduino! This board specifically lets the 10 individual SAS modes be controlled by their own buttons, while only needing 6 output wires! This saves on ports on the arduino, making the programming much easier.
.
Creating this board was a huge pain, but now that I know what to do, the next one should be quicker. After that, all thats needed is to print the outer shell, wire everything up. and do the last little bit of integration programming. I know I’m running very short on time, so I’ve laid out a schedule for myself, and as long as the next circuit board doesnt take 4 days I should be fine!
