A Flight controller for a rocket
A Flight controller for a rocket
Today I wired up some more components and educated myself on different things. Sadly, I noticed that I wasn’t recording after about and hour soooo that was pretty unfortunate, but itll be fine. I also havent been able to code as much because of school but I hope that I’ll be able to code a bit during the week. Anyways, I wired up a component called LMR51430 and it was pretty fun.
I wired up some components today during class;) and at home. I also got a bit confused with the net labels and labels and values for the power Grounds, but on the other hand I learned a bit about schematics and used the schematics for my usb-c connector and battery charger, I am pretty new to Kicad but I’m getting better and I should be much better at reading schematics and electrical stuff after this challenge. My first regulator is also in progress I should finish wiring it up in next session.
Today I learned some more about Kicad and electronics. I’ve been trying to make this flight controller pretty quickly since I only have one month until Stardance ends, I’m really grateful that they extended the deadline;) I made some net labels and connected some wires today, importing the libraries for easyeda2kicad took me way too much time but I figured it out after playing around in finder, kicad and terminal for about an hour. I’m really excited to wire up the battery charger tomorrow and am really trying to get to the fusion360 (CAD) part as fast as possible because I’m not too comfortable with kicad yet. See yall in the next one!
