Networking
This week we were tasked with producing our PCB boards. I had some questions regarding my previous design which Anthony helped me with. These questions and answers gave me some further insight into the inner workings of the eventual project which aims to design a thermal camera.
Reflection
I discovered that the TX and RX connections need to be cross connected as they communicate and respond to one another. Secondly, my design can be simplified by removing more than half of the components! This can be achieved due to the built-in capabilities of the Xiao ESP32. Thirdly I learnt that the Ground connection can be a cable in the form of a larger and thicker plane. Routings which carry current also need to be thicker to be able to handle larger voltages.
