AstraPad: A Work in Progress

DevLog 6: Yet Another Hill in the Journey

I started working on the firmware, only to realise I had forgotten one tiny but very important detail: the USB-C port needs a hole in the case.

So I went back to the CAD to figure out exactly where the USB port would be.

And then I noticed something…

The USB-C port was facing inwards, towards the PCB. 💀

So now I had to go back into KiCad, rotate the XIAO, and reroute the entire PCB.

Another setback, but that’s kinda the point of building hardware for the first time. Every mistake teaches me something for the next revision.

Back to routing. 🫡
