I experienced Fusion 360 and other things and man are they hard to get a hang on there is a learning Curve for sure
Well….I like things that look good you know feel good and my previous design was nothing like that so I edited it some for some I mean I cratched the whole thing and started from the beginning. I am happy how this new design turned out. I quite like it I also imported some 3D models. So to get a better understanding of the structure. I also added some screw holes dont know if they are necessary or not.
So…..I messed up bad. I heard from a guy that it is easy if we just make the Copper plates GND without necessarily connecting everything. Yahhh and I did that and none of my ground were connected. I suck at connections. So I used a whole lotta vias hopefully they dont have any disadvantage. Well that is what happens when a person gets too cocky. So the next hour after these logged ones I spent with AI fixing my mistakes and it was paiiinnnnnnnn. You guys do this as beginners salute man saluteeeee. Yah in the end all the errors are solved there are some warnings but we dont talk about those. But this thing is fun beside the routes and vias
Sooo many lines. I thought of finishing my PCB making connections, creating a copper GND filled zone and all that neat stuff and by far the hardes thing was connecting everything. I didnt have a design I wished to follow nor did I planned the layout. I just went with it and it took an hour
It was my first experience with KiCad ofcourse after the tutorials I watched. I was well kinda confused the software is hard to get familiar to for me.
But I got the hang of it and build the schematic. Still I get confused ith all the footprints and stuff and I will admit I do use AI for those parts.
