PCB record player

Hello and welcome to devlog #2 of the PCB record player!! Say hello to big mama player PCB. It’s got a raspberry pi pico, a ws2812 led light strip, and some holes for the pogo pin connector which I will buy off of amazon. I’m going to try to simulate all of the designs virutually through tinkercad or smth cuz im lazy lol, and I expect this to be a highly iyerative process, and I don’t want my room full of faulty pcbs lol. but yeah heres my ugly pcb. Ik the pico is in a weird spot, i hope that doesnt cause too many problems, but if it does I’ll expect it to be an easy fix. Next up, simulating and firmware!

Hello! This is the first devlog for the lovely 🌌🌟PCB Record Player🌟🌌 It’s going to be a structure where you can connect a few different “record” PCBs, which consist of a EEPROM to program what will be played , and pads that connect to the “player” PCB, which will consist of a pogo pin connector, which will communicate with the EEPROM via I2C, have an RP2040 “brain,” and most importantly, play the music/LED light patterns. I started this project before I knew about Stardance, so “record” PCB #1 was done beforehand. Today, I finished routing it, and copied and changed it slightly to make “record” PCB #2. After a ton of angry DRCs, file location problems, and messy wiring, I now have 2 ready to print record PCBs!! 🎉🎉 I don’t know if I will order them now or later lol. But they’re ready! Coming next, making big mama “player” pcb. well see how that goes lol. This was supposed to be the easy part, and we alr had a mountain of problems. Anyway, heres “record” 2! Record 1s wiring is very ugly, lowk looks like camo pattern??? but yeah my lil pcbs so cuteeee
