Routed the antenna part of my drawing tablet prototype. Now I just need to finish the rest of the pcb.

I always go the extra mile for schematic symbol and footprint.

Cool to see that Nexperia uses KiCad to design some of their evaluation boards.

Schematic Symbols shouldn't follow the physical pinout and instead be sorted by function to make easy to understand schematics.

people: how can I set up my board & net class constraints so I will get a DRC error if vias of different nets are <0.5mm apart, but vias of the same net only error if <0.254mm apart? I can't figure it out and wading through DRC errors because I have same-net vias less than 0.5mm apart is tedious and may make me miss an actual error. Attached is a screenshot of the pertinent part of JLCPCB's capabilities page as well as KiCad's board constraints page.

Designed my first PCB using , it's for a plant watering system.

Although, I'll need to learn more about PCB design before actually making one - especially EMC, as I had issues with that on a stripboard version. I'll also need to select components, maybe it would make sense to use more 1206 SMD

Ich bin über den Brotkastenfreunde Podcast auf das Projekt gestossen. Das ist ein Wifi-Modul für den . Das Board besteht im Kern aus ESP Modulen. Da sich ein weiterer PCB Design Workshop gewünscht wurde, würde ich gerne im Rahmen des ein WIC64 SMD-Board designen wollen, das wir dann in einem weiteren geplanten Projekt verwenden können.

It's a subtle move of the Reset button and power LED, but I'm much happier with it.

I also realised that I haven't added any decoupling or pull-ups for the I2C port, so that's not squeezed in on the left. Had to make the board slightly wider, but I think it's worth it.

I was going to add SPI, but I really don't need it at this stage, and it'd be too much of a faff to fit it in.

You know, I think we're done.

Has anyone done any flex cable design in ?

I'm just thinking about a future project. I'd like to draw up a Series 3a/c/mx ribbon cable. I know places like PCBWay and JLCPCB will make them to order.

The second thing to go on a SIBO PDA is the ribbon cable (the first being, of course, the hinges). I think we need an open source one.

Last night I swapped out all the 0402 components for 0805s. Considering this is my first with SMD components, I thought I'd make my life easier if I have to hand-solder.

I'm now worried about spacing between components, again for soldering. There's enough room on the board for me to space things out.

Also, do I swap out that LED for a through-hole? I've got a bag of blue ones, so it would save me buying them for this version.

Also, might need more vias.
