Ss Rpi
- Time spent is cumulative
Saturday 7th June
Parts list finalised and BOM updated.
Total cost far exceeds what I was hoping. Let's hope it works
Time spent: 2 hours
Tuesday 17th June
Finalising my PCB design to accommodate the Pi Zero 2W, nRF module and other parts
I've had to learn about capacitors and where to use them to improve the longevity and reliability of my RC boat.
Experimented with ground planes and I think I've figured that out to avoid ground loops
Almost finished PCB
Now I need to begin CAD to build accommodation for all the components.
Time spend: 5 hours
Wednesday 18th June
Added a readme and BOM together in one file. I reviewed a couple of other projects on the highway to see why people are being rejected, and hopefully I'm going to avoid that!
Asked a friend for some advice and made amends to my PCB, namely adding a resistor for me LED, and populating 3D models. Also, I had to basically re-do the PCB design because one of the footprints I was using was wrong...
Pretty sure it's finished now
Populated 3D model
Time spent: 8 hours
Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd June
Basically taught myself CAD. Designs on the way.
