Devlogg #3

Wlcm back to Anipad. So I’ve done quite some work on the PCB. First of all, I linked all the footprints. It took me quite a while to find because I wasn’t that familiar with the KiCad software. So then I looked up some repos of past works that have been already submitted into Stardance for the Hackpad mission. And after looking into their KiCad files, I finally got what are the exact names for the footprints. So I linked the footprints to the schematic symbols and then started placing it on the main PCB builder. Right now, I have aligned them into a basic grid. I think so. I’m not that good at using it yet. So I just have tried my best to align it, but it’s not proper yet. But this is the basic grid and I have put all the diodes just beside them (the switches).

I’m right now thinking about the proper design I could make for the pcb shape & component placement. I did this to get more familiar with how to exactly place them. And Rnn if I want to, I can just wire it up, but I will probably just add some more design variation and change the placement of the switches rather than keeping it just a simple grid. And that’s what I mainly plan over here. So this was the devloggg. Ywahh, I know it’s pretty short
