@EvanGan7+Day 46 of #100-days-in-public.
Today I got back on track and continued to route my PCB! I made a LOT of progress. After manual routing for quite a few hours I am beginning to understand what @karmanyaahm meant when they said "routing is art." The board currently sits at 26 x 45 millimeters but I have a few ideas on how to make it smaller...
@EvanGan7+Day 43 of #100-days-in-public.
Today I worked on routing my board. Per @karmanyaahm's suggestion I decided to route by hand. While I was doing that I reduced my trace width by .054 millimeters to .2 millimeters. This enabled my board to actually be routable. I also talked with @Micha and they suggested a few changes such as putting my capacitors closer to the chip, which I am going to do now.
In robotics tonight I helped assemble the parts from a leaf blower we took apart the other night into a FRC legal blower. The goal of the blower it to blow open the trap(Polycarbonate flap on the hinge) so that we can shoot a note(12" foam ring) into it from the ground. It worked pretty well with a NEO 550. Tomorrow I am going to CAD a 3D printable version of the duct and mount to save weight, as well as switch to a 775 for a 11000 rpm -> 18000 rpm increase.
@Cai0Thanks Hack Club and @msw and @karmanyaahm in approving my grant! My order is now on process!
@KarthickArun0day7 of onboard and trying to get my NFC card approved (its going well had to fix some files that were missing) but other than that its going good just working witj @karmanyaahm to get 1 review of it approved
@Jaxzog0Day 4 of #hardware-party. Working on Project-Oreo with @karmanyaahm.
I'm in charge of the housing design and I just finished finalizing the 3D model.
The files are being sent out to @KaiZheng-U049N5Y0WM9 untested since that's the only way they're getting shipped in time. Hopefully everything works out, after all, I did follow the principle of measure twice, cut (or model) once.
Here are some renders of the final housing and it looks fairly decent if I do say so myself.
