- Having a break bc of frustration and burnout :(
-taking a pause and will be doing easier project

#Devlog 15
-Routed USB-C PD block
-Searched about PD chip
2h 4m logged
Devlog #14
-optimally routed some blocks that I laid ou (5V Regulator, 3V3 Regulator, 1V2 LDO, SPI Flash, CC ESD protection IC for USB-C PD)
-Next laying out other blocks
-See you later :D

!!FINALLY!! MAKING PCB LAYOUT
-Made optimal layout for some blocks through Datasheet
-Made some footprint changes
-Next working on Layout for other blocks

-fixed ERC
-figured out how to make global labels
2h 8m 11s logged
Devlog #11
-Fixing ERC
-Having problems with connecting pins in sub sheets through labels in KiCad v10
(if anyone knows how pls let me know)

Devlog #10
-Assigned footpints
-Changed MUX bc it was down stream not up
-Next fixing ERC
1h 40m 11s logged
Devlog #9
-Completed schematic!!
-Next assigning footprints
2h 23m 1s logged
Devlog #8
-Completed Ethernet
-Did some work on SD
-Next completing SD
2h 5m logged
Devlog #7
-Changed Power block a bit
-Changed Block diagram a bit
-Completed USB HUB
-Next working on Ethernet
2h 8m 2s logged
Devlog #6
-Changed PD chip bc of it was only 1 port (that means if I were to connect adapter to
charging usb c it would only power hub, not charge device its plugged to)
-Completed Power block
-Completed DisplayPort
-Doing USB hub next
Thx everyone for supporting :D

Did some work on power block
-Wired PD chip
-Wired SPI flash (for PD chip)
-Wired CC ESD and overvoltage protection
2h 40m logged
Devlog #4
-Finished USB-C MUX block
-Doing Power block next (PowerDelivery 3.0, DRP= Dual-Role Power)
2h 3m logged
Devlog #3
-Changed and wired entire MUX bc of not supporting DP alt mode
-Added some other ICs (PD, SD)
-Changed video output form hdmi to DisplayPort bc I couldn’t find symbols and schematics for the ICs
btw(finally figured out the lookout and timelapse thing, so expect normal lapses :D)
2h 10m 35s logged
Devlog #2
-completed usb-c mux block schematic
-added some other integrated circuits
(had some minor problems with lookout couldn’t upload archived timelapses so I just posted empty 2h time lapse, real job took 2h 30min) see ya tommorow
