I am building an LED chaser to light up LEDs in a sequence.
Waiting on a reviewer. We'll let you know as soon as there's a decision.

Routing done! Yesterday, I spent such a long time trying to route the PCB. Today, it’s done. Phew. I hope it’s done correctly. I learnt about vias and how you can go from one layer to another. I also added some custom text.
Next Steps:
Double check the schematic and PCB.
Update the Github repo
Draft the Bill of materials
Submit for Funding!

Hi guys! Today I was working on routing all the components on the PCB, and it was so hard! I had to try to find alternate paths for each trace. I had to avoid some paths, create vias to other layers, and it was challenging. But I hope to fix it and remove the issue soon. It was a completely new experience for me.

Continuing my work on the PCB. For those of you who don’t know: It’s a Thor-inspired PCB that makes a series of 10 LEDs light up in a sequence. Today, I added the icon of a lightning bolt and wrote a description of the project. I had a minor issue with aligning the text description. I hope to complete this soon. :D

Working on the PCB for my LED Chaser. Got into some issues while importing the .dxf file for the board outline, but now its fine! I have placed the components, but the routing is left. Hope to finish it soon!

It’s my first day making an LED Chaser! Project goal: 10 LEDs light up in a sequence. I have some ideas to make the final project better, but this is the start. It’s a bit easy right now, and it’s also my first PCB. Hope it works! :D
