requested changes for v1per devboard ago
Could you expand on your journals? Write about some struggles (I can see that you already did for some), design choices, design limitations etc. You should not be saying that "I finished the schematic today", and finish off with that. Maybe something like: "With some prior knowledge, I focused on x MCU as the base processor in my schematic. I used the AMS-1117, along with a couple of decoupling caps."

Add to cart :P
Finally did the JLC stuff. I could NOT figure out how to do the CPL stuff for a hot minute lmfao but i finally figured ts out. I really like how it looks on JLC. I wanted to add a kinda zig-zag thingy last-minute but it wasn't working and kept on adding as a solid chunk so for now we are keeping the rectangle shape.
I am really happy with how it turned out and I can't wait to place my order :)

I AM DONE ROUTING AND ADDING MY LIL DESIGNS !!!
After almost 3 hours, I am finally done routing!! This was very very hard and painful especially because of how many times i had to rearrange my entire setup just to retry routing. i think one of the most important parts is having some kind of vision in your head before you start. because the first section took a heck ton of time when i wasn't sure how to progress to the next step because stuff was too close or too disorganised etc. I forgor to make frequent commits for this bc my Wi-Fi was acting up really bad so GitHub wouldn't let me (cry emoji). But you can check out my scrapbook posts where you'll see somewhat frequent updates :D
So I went with something neo-tribal themed because I'm a huge fan of the entire concept of cybersigilism. So pretty much the whole thing is cybersigil-themed as you can see.
Progress pics (i stole from my scrapbook):



As you can see I started with 41 errors lol.

Back looks like this

Footprints done & Layout is HARD
So i finished up the footprints and started working on my layout. It's been incredibly hard because of routing lmao. I worked on this during the Athenathon I was hosting so I got to lock in. I am still trying to figure out a good layout which will let me route easily because like there's so much that needs to be routed gahhh. Hopefully I'll get that done tomorrow!
Todays commits : layout is my biggest opp </3

Finished Schematics...Up next is Footprints 😨
I worked on finishing the schematics! This was a little bit more time consuming because for some reason I could not copy/paste like I was able to on Windows so I had to manually add all the new resistors, capacitors and the the duplicate labels :heavysob: I think outside that everything else was KINDA lightwork. I really liked arranging my stuff too lol. It feels super neat. Schematics now available on the README as well :P
The commit for today is: finished schematics...next is footprints :0

The devboard-making begins!
I worked on part of the schematics! i did part of it on my Windows then pushed it to github to work on the rest of mac because I found out I dont need hackatime lol. i think this part has been relatively easy so i'm not worried too much about anything. it was definitely filled with lots of reminders from making other simple pcbs (i guess the basics are somewhat the same). what i liked alot was i didnt need to add custom footprints lol. last time i did that it was really hard because the files i had just weren't working (NOT FUN).
Commits in this session:
i did this on iwindows...moving to mac now that i dont need hackatime :P
change file arrangement
This is also what it looks like right now :)
