Mats continues his challenge of designing one PCB every week. In week 6 he came up with GolGrid, a Conwat’s game of life emulator 4×4 LED modules. The modules are designed to accept commands over the UART protocol, and set or clear the corresponding LEDs. This weeks PAW will be a similar board, but SMD […]

PCB a Week 5: Oledy generic OLED breakout board
Mats continues his challenge of designing one PCB every week. In week 5 he came up with Oledy, a breakout board featuring 8 most common pitches for OLED display connectors, spanning from 0.5mm to 1mm. The Oledy board is a 5×5 cm board meant to be cut in half ending up with two boards 2.5 […]
PCB a Week 4: RetroTime
Mats continues his challenge of designing one PCB every week. In week 4 he came up with RetroTime, a digital clock with RGB LEDs in 12 tentacles extruding from the body of the PCB. Next week I’ll do a slightly more advanced project than a simple breakout. I had this idea of making a very […]
PCB a Week 3: Double sided breakout boards
Mats continues his challenge of designing one PCB every week. In week 3 he came up with a double sided breakout board containing footprints for 24 ICs on a 5cmx5cm board. Via the forum.
PCB a Week 2: DigiPot
Matseng continues his challenge of designing one PCB a week. The latest PCB is DigiPot, a digital potentiometer with a rotatory encoder for control, and a 4 digit 7-segment used to display the current value. The basic idea is a digital potentiometer with a 7-segment display that shows the current value. The “potentiometer” is a […]
PCB a Week 1: Crystal oscillator breakout
Matseng started a challenge for himself where he intends to post a PCB project a week. The first project is “NanoUtils Xtal” – a crystal oscillator breakout board. The board is designed to be interfaced with microcontrollers that have their oscillator pins next to a ground pin. This board is a breakout containing a SMD […]
