This week I was responsible for watching and filling out the peer reviews for my section, as well as rehearsing and delivering my presentation on Wednesday. Meanwhile, I completed the first revision of the PCB and resolved all the ERC (Electrical Rule Check) for my schematics and DRC (Design Rule Check) for my PCB. I quadruple checked my schematics against all the component datasheets and made sure my design rules were all within specs for PCBWay (our PCB fab). I am currently on track to do another round of final checks and begin the process of sending out the gerber files. In the upcoming week, I will start the purchasing process of the PCB as well as the components from Digikey. With the components/PCB purchased and on route, I will begin the firmware/software development process as I wait.
