- Jorge’s Status Report for 2/26/22
This week I worked on the design review Report with the team, I presented our design review slides on Monday, and made modifications to the schematic. The changes to the schematic are the following:
I added new header pins which we plan to solder some male connectors to, this is for the interface we are making from the keyboard to the pi
Included a Frame for the schematic, mainly aesthetic
Rerouted some wires in consideration of the software. By including four new rows for the specific combination keys, it will help make our software simpler to implement.
These are the final steps before getting started with the actual pcb layout. This part shouldn’t be too hard but I expect changes to be made based on the feedback from the professor in HCI. I am very familiar with the PCB layout portion of Eagle and don’t feel its necessary to layout an entire board ill probably have to change, so I will wait until after our meeting and then proceed making the PCB.
In the mean time, I can get started on designing a little layout for our planned de-activating toggle switches and make a schematic, but that part should be easier to do than the main Keyboard PCB.
