Designing PCB
I think it have been hours since I tried to assemble the PCB
Following the tutorial one by one.. This is my first time doing a really complex project.
But, I learnt so many things tho. Like, I just know the like moving the parts with percision features, then also the two lines with the same length, vias, and also the filling up part..
I think the hardest part assemblying this is the connecting the wires and positioning the component. The wiring itself feels like a puzzle. Do you know the "cut the rope" game? so there is levels with like a portal, and I see that vias like that also. A really magnificent puzzle.
I have to like retry 2 or 3 times after like assemblying it and found out some wires is not connected.
This is the look of my development board right now
But, I don't know why like I kept encountering this error
I have tried to follow the tutorial to solve this errors, yet, it doesn't work...
I am confused with what should I do
I have like tried to ask the #electronics channel and I have like done what they told me but it still didn't work..
Well... hum, I will update it later

Updating schematics
Well, yeah, I search for ideas on Google.
And there is this one video that I watched : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcwvuwetgEQ
It is a really cool video talking about like how to convert RP2040 to behave like Raspberry Pi Pico, but unfortunately it is hard for me to comprehend it QvQ.. I have, like, walked through the datasheet.. yeah, in the end I decide to just add an LED to the GPIO25 to, like, detect codes that going through the custom development board. And also add 4 mounting holes just in case I wanted to, like, secure it somewhere else.

Building the schematic
Hi all!
I wanted to make my own development board..
Currently I am finished on following the schematic tutorials
The tutorials is so goodd with it I can know more about the standard of making schematics, and also ofc the component of development board and how does it affects each other. I rilly good materials there. Now I wanted to search abt things that can be added to this development board!
