Here the culprit (crossed out in first picture). The buck converter used is rated for 3A, but the requires 2.7A. With closed case, it gets too hot. Below is a 5A one that came with heat sink. But I'll have to reorder the perfboard a bit. Also, I'll add a heat sink for the MOSFET. Second image is the new layout.

project of the day: a USB-C PD power supply for .
I really like using SMD resistors for . It makes the layout very compact and tidy.

I decided to redo the DIY . Now I'll be able to connect four IΒ²C sensors using connectors. The Bluetooth module will be repositioned, too. The resistors were replaced by ones, to save space.
I only have to decide which pins to use.

Now that I've returned from my brother's place I can fix that dodgy switch by doing what I should have done in the first place.

Drilled two additional holes in this dirt cheap perf-board to accommodate the switch. The metal plating is of such poor quality that there is little difference in structural adhesion of the soldered connections when comparing the existing plated perforations and the newly drilled unplated ones
