Today I finished my PCB. I still may want to add some more silkscreen art on the back, and I have to check some things before ordering. But we’re aaaaalmost there with this project and I’m pretty excited. I got a quote from jlcpcb and it looks like it'll cost me like, 2€, including shipping, so that's great!
🎨Today I started working on the PCB of my project. Everything here will be moved (I have literally routed nothing) but I found all the footprints and made the outline in photopea
Yesterday I did a bunch of troubleshooting and today I finally completed the breadboard version of my last circuit. I feel like it’s pretty validated now so next item on list is: figuring out KiCadHi! First project here!
I'm making my first PCB as a birthday gift, it will be orca-shaped (my friend’s favorite animal)! Today I worked on the circuit, this is an astable multivibrator which I found online, it basically flashed two LEDs sequentially. But I modified it to be controlled by a photoresistor (so the LED only flash when it's dark!) and I also added a simple pushbutton powered LED just for funsies.
Here’s my schematic, I tested it on Falstad and it works. Next step: testing it on breadboard.
(excuse my notes in italian, they describe the circuit how I described it above)
