So I was working on the PCB, and now I am stuck with my space constraint problem. On one hand, I need it to be very compact, but on the other, it will require a pretty big redesign to fix this.
I finally figured out headers, was really embarassing before. Also I started wiring up the battery charger, and am close to finishing that, and will probably start the 3.3v line afterwards.
I worked more on the pcb, and added the large ground plane and did some planning. The ground plane will be on layer 2, while the power plane will be on layer 3. I also learned how to use vias to supplement my smd based design.
I assigned all the footprints to each symbol, and finally got started on the PCB. This is definitely my hardest project to date, and am working towards finishing this! I have barely wired up the PCB, only the USB protector so far.
So I finished wiring up this battery charger on this flight computer. Because I am using all LCSC parts, it looks like a mess, plan to clean up near the end of this.
Had to restart the schematic design as it was using some of the wrong components, and used LCSC components for resistors and capacitors, so when ordering parts, it becomes much easier to do so. I started wiring up the battery charger and wired up the USB shield as well.
