Completed KiCAD schematic

I’m fairly confident with KiCAD by now so I did this pretty quickly, just under 6 hours.

Again, this is a nature themed mini cyberdeck that fits in an altoids tin, with an LCD screen, a PCB keyboard, and a rechargeable battery (possibly by solar panels).

What I have essentially done:

  1. Found all the components I need from Aliexpress
  2. Created and assigned footprints/symbols such as the battery charger and LCD
  3. Changed up a lot of the initial plan - might add a solar panel to enhance the “Nature” theme and possibly make it a doomsday device as well XD, will confirm at the CAD design stage when I finally fit all of these components in that lil tiny box
  4. Wired everything up! 0 ERC errors (we can ignore some of it because I just can’t figure out how to assing the pins functions right like wdym bidirectional is not allowed for power output)

This is great progress, I’m excited to wire the PCB up and become miserable once I find out these components dont fit on one board :( But that’s for tomorrow, see you then!

P.S. Also awaiting sanity check in the slack channel for the schematic, might make minor edits tomorrow
