PCB ruler for my electronics club

🐾
It’s looking like it’s finished! And I loooove the finished product!
So this devlog is purely just about shipping.
After completing it I’ve exported it using kicad pcb tools and threw it right onto the JLCPCB site to choose colors!
And after discussing with my brother white seemed the sleakest. Also I know that HASL with lead is the cheapest surface finish, but I didn’t want to give the kiddows lead poisoning.

Anyways super happy with this simple project.

It’s almost finished

After drafting up the back I’ve randomly scatered the components and it wasn’t looking all that exiting so I’ve thought about importing graphics
And it was a good idea, but like now there is so much going on in the back that it’s crazy.
Overall I love it so much!!! And can’t wait for the kidos in the club to have it in theirs hands.

Next up is panelization to get the cost down. And can’t forget about shipping.

So I’ve started making the ruler.
And got carried away a bit.
It’s turning out to be super coooooooooooooooooool.

The front side should be simple electronic components and I haven’t really thought about the bottom all that much but I think it should be more advanced and with quick reference table.

This one diferes from all of the other PCB rulers because this one should be a reference for begining collage students that doesn’t know all that much about electronics and this is like theire buddy that helps them with navigating in components, footprints and schematic symbols.

I’ve taken inspiration from my brothers ruler and the trace ruler.
