PlutoXL

PLUTOXL: I have no clue what im doing. I tried to make the pcb but all the traces were wrong and I decided to get rid of the nets and pins and just do it freehand. I highly doubt what I did was right and don’t think that I can get this project done before the program ends. I’m gonna try but it looks impossible.

PLUTOXL: Left PCB done now i have to route traces and do it on the Right side. This is a big milestone in this project. Now I can start moving along. I did run into some problems with schematic drawing and so I switched back to Ergogen and finished it up from there. I made many adjustments to all the component and I am pretty happy with it. Tomorrow I will work on the right side

PLUTOXL: I am designing the pcb myself because ergogens footprints were pretty bad and I don’t think a lot of the traces right. I’m doing it myself now. However, I am struggling finding the right footprints that I need. I should hopefully get the PCB done in the next few days. I am crunching to get this done by the 30th. Wish me luck

PlutoXL: I learned how to use Ergogen and configured my keyboard. I need to get my PCB done in the next two days. I was able to complete the layout and outline. But I am struggling to configure the file on the desktop version of Ergogen. That part is very vague to me.

PlutoXL: this is a split keyboard specifically for me and for for this time I worked on planning for the parts I’m going to use. This was also the time that I started thinking how my keyboard would look like. I’m still curious on how all of it will come together and since I don’t have the funds for this on my own if I’m going to be able to get sufficient funds for this project. Next will be the layout for the PCB
