Electronics Design

For this week, I wanted to make a dev board for my final project. I originally wanted to do just the RP2040, but after talking with the instructor, settled on the Pi Pico W. After a couple iterations, I was able to make a board that should have enough ports for all the peripherals I would add. I also broke out multiple ports for ground and power (both 5V and 3.3 V) for any peripherals I wanted to add, as all of them would need power and ground.

For fun, I also wanted to try making a Hatsune Miku shaped board. This one used a Xiao with an RP2040 core, and with a taped bottom for more space to route wires. All the pins go to single color LEDS with resistors.

Group Project

We were shown a test board made by Anthony and observed it using the oscilloscope. One thing I thought was cool was that the oscilloscope can translate serials.
