This week, after doing the design presentation, I spent nearly all my time working on the layout and routing for the PCB. Throughout this process, I had to do some reworking of the schematic, but this was relatively minor compared to the other board work. The board is completely routed and ready to order. I will be doing some final checks and will review the entire board with the rest of the group.
My progress is still on schedule, but the ordering and shipping time may cause the board to arrive later than expected. This means that I may not receive the board and BOM until fall break or at the beginning of the week after fall break. This can be mitigated by making the mechanical board this week and during fall break since I planned to do that after break.
For the next week, I hope to have most, if not all, of the mechanical aspects of the board finished. This includes 3D printed standoffs and the laser cut board top.
