data sheet uh

• resistors
  • i moved the resistors like 5mm apart because i have plenty of space and it will be like X400 easier so solder
• i am blind
  • i was testing the led so i can make sure every thing works
  • the led is like really small so i was leaning in so that i can see the pins so i can try and turn it on… so like it is super bright and i burned a little dot in my eye
• data sheet
  • so when i was testing the led i noticed that you need to power it from the left side and i assumed that it was powered from the right side
  • i was curious as to why i got it backwards because i reference the data sheet like all the time. so apparently the schematic counted clockwise. while everything else on the data sheet is counter-clockwise like look at pg 15 and you can see why i assumed the power went from right to left not left to right

• the flip
  • so i needed to flip the entire pcb becouse the power is on the wrong side
  • i would have just rotated it around but scene the resistors are specific to the pins that wouldn’t work and the leds would burn out
  • i also learned that you cant mirror footprints on kicad
  • so what i did was set the center of my pcb to (0,0) then went through and switch the sign on every x value on the pcb
