I spend about 2 hours working on the next step in making my control board PCB. I spend the time adding footprints of all the components into KiCad.
This took a lot of time because it was a lot of searching through datasheets, digikey, and the KiCad footprint editor making sure all the components are correct.

The hardest part was trying to make sure the exact parts would fit the footprint, but I figured out a better way of going about it would be to use the 3D models provided on the part page of each component to check if the footprints are correct because I can visualy see if they will fit.

The next step for the PCB will be adding the 3D models, or at least confirming the ones in KiCad already are the right ones.

This step is not only important to confirm the footprints are correct but also for later when I design the enclosure for mounting the board to the telescope.
