I finished my PCB design and spent a lot of time working on the wiring, which was quite challenging. (Had to watch several tutorials and asked some stuff in slack.) I decided not to use all the features of the rotary encoder because the XIAO does not have enough available pins. So, I chose to only use the rotation function of the encoder. I also added several LEDs to the design.
I just made a start today and am pretty proud of my small start. Drawing pcb’s is quite fun, but setting up hackatime and downloading KiCad did took a lot of time. I almost gave up because my laptop started doing strange and didn’t had enough storage to download the installer for KiCad T_T. But after lots of effort I did manage to set everything up (hopefully correct)…
After setting up I drew some stuff in the sketch editor and imported it in the PCB editor. I ran into some problems but I have trust that I’ll be able to fix it next time. Also I added 4 switches to my sketch but I can’t find them in the pcb editor… This is though my first time making a pcb. So I think it is probably normal. :)
