#1 Debut of PCB Work
As a programmer, I really have no idea what challenges await me but im excited to make my own hardware for the first time👊

  • I settled on a simple 3x1 design just to ensure I get the basics of KICad before complicating things
  • Switch footprints kept overlapping and I was unsure how to create the clearance before I realized you can drag them 😅
  • DRS did flag issues with the wiring and edge cuts
  • Currently troubleshooting how to show the physical components of the PCB in 3d viewer (for some reason the step files were not in the library)

I watched a tutorial online and then restarted the project from scratch and reworked the PCB without help.

  • Still feels quite overwhelming but I don’t plan on giving up

TODO: Expand PCB to support 6 switches in a 3x2 grid using a matrix design
