Hyperion Dev Board
mostly following the guide on how to make it and then customizing it to my needs (maybe a usbc on the longer side not the short side) after i understand how it works.

soldering the boards and some problems i had
ive soldered the boards pin headers onto them it was pretty easy when i realized i could hold the board still if i were to just put the pins in a bread board and with that it made it really easy to solder the headers and to have it fit into a bread board easily. there was onto problem though i think i uploaded a slightly non working version of the pcb to the manufactures but it was only a problem with the led data trace so to get around that i just soldered a tiny wire between the led and another pin. other than that it was pretty easy to do. that was the setup to solder

there should be a trace coming out of where the red arrow is and sadly there isnt

really clean devboard! the routing is super clean! id like to see some more detail in your journals as to how the process for building it went. maybe describe some of the challenges and the ways you worked around them? lastly, the folders inside of your repo are currently a little difficult to read through, please try to organize this a bit more by putting it into individual folders. really nice job on the devboard!

finished code for the led and figured out how to upload it
i had a problem while trying to upload code onto the board it was weird and it was showing up as a usb drive until if found out it was in the wrong mode to show up on arduino ide so i changed it to work with uf2 and Arduino ide and then i was able to compile and upload the code i dont know why it took me so long to figure out how to do that but it did now the led can blink which is pretty cool

soldered all the pins on the boards and led
i was soldering on all of the pins and figuring out all of what i needed to do to solder well and eventually i got them all soldered on pretty well it looks pretty good now. it took a while though

Hey I love the silkscreen but that kit is kind of unnecessary, could you order the minimum amount of headers necessary please? (Something like this: https://es.aliexpress.com/item/33015492922.html)

Nice work on this! Good design, but could you please add a PCB and schematic screenshot into your repo?

Hey! Please upload your project sources (aka the .kicad files if you used kicad, .epro if you used easyeda) to your repo. currently you only uploaded the production files; Can you also expand the readme a bit, like add a list of features? You should also upload a cart image of jlc's checkout page as the current view doesn't include taxes

Routed the pcb other than button & led
Im almost done and just in time to submit it for Prototype. I was able to get most of it finished i just have to add in the button and the led it looks pretty good. this was really fun to make and the guide was super easy to follow.

started work on designing the PCB
It was fine making the schematic but the hardest part to follow was what footprints i needed to add to make my board look similar to the guide but ive figured it out and now i need to start designing the rest of my dev board.

figured out what to do to make the board my own
I'm thinking that with an extra from the macro pad kit im going to add one of the leds onto the board so i can tell if the board is getting power and see if i can get it to tell me other things as well. also im almost done with the schematic of the board.

started to make the Dev Board
im going to mostly just coppy how to make the dev board and once done with that ill add some changes and things to make it my own. here is how far along i am this morning. also i did not know that pcb making was actually pretty simple.

Read through the dev board tutorial
its very well writen and ill give Kai Pereira a big thanks when im done createing this board because he is the only reason that i will be able to figure it out.
