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…
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…
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…
This week I finish up my schematic for a new board. This new board is similar to the previous PCB board that I design, only that this board uses Spartan6 TQFP packaging. Most of the component will remain only some minor changes on the capacitor decoupling. To know the required/necessary Read more…
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…
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…

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…
This is my thirteen week in AESTE. Getting closer and closer to the end of my internship~ This week I continue with drawing Schematic. 😴 💤 💩 😈 👿 👹 👺 💀 👻 👽 🙌 👏 👋 👍 👊 ✊ ✌️ 👌 ✋ 💪 🙏 ☝️ 👆 👇 👈 👉 Nothing Read more…
While entering the last stages of creating the PCB, there are still some changes to be made to the circuit. In addition to these modifications, this week the solder mask, solder paste, and silkscreen have been created. Also, finally I was able to come up with an estimate for the Read more…
