Start PCB Design

This week, after some more reading about the board and the connections and also some more reading on PCB design, I started using Kicad. Which is a very powerful PCB design software and it can be used for highly complex projects. After watching a few tutorials online and going through Read more…

Third Week

This week which is my third, here at Aeste, was more about reading and understanding the current board. I started the week by redoing the Board Architecture that I worked on last week. At the time I did not fully understand what was asked, so I ended up doing it Read more…

Designing a new PCB Board

This week I finish drawing my PCB design for a new board using Spartan 6 TQFP packaging and PIC32MZ. Also added a bluetooth module (HC-05) onto the new board. In comparison most of the component’s footprint for this new board is exactly the same with the previous board, only this time Read more…

Preparing BOM file

This week I finish up my Schematic and preparing the Bill Of Material (BOM) file for my PCB design. I also study some Bluetooth module to be implemented onto my board. The most common bluetooth modules are ‘HC series’ (HC-05 and HC-06), with ’05’ able to be configured as Master Read more…

Déjà vu

So…….it seems I am back in Aeste 😅😅😅 My task is to continue the part that was done halfway (PCB board). I started the week by first double check my schematic design then match with the PCB design to find any flaw/weird connection. And of course the first week of Read more…

PCB design is NOT easy!

This is my fourteen week in AESTE with Schematic done proceeding to PCB design about 50% done. The PCB design is a Four-layer board, signal -ground – power – signal. I am pretty thankful and grateful to be able to do PCB design, the main reason is because to me, Read more…
