This video is mostly a time-lapse of me doing the PCB layout for the Dark Load project that I am working on. However during the first minutes of the video I am commenting and giving some hints on some design decisions that I make during layout.
This entire design is open source and it will be shared once I have it working but for now it’s still quite beta and I don’t want to release something that is potentially not working or might contain errors.
Hi,
thanks for your great videos! If you haven’t decided on a toolchain and library for the ST microcontroller yet, you might want to give http://libopencm3.org/wiki/Main_Page a try. I also found this page to be quite useful: https://wiki.cuvoodoo.info/doku.php?id=stm32f1xx
Hello. I just happened upon your videos – nice job! I’m just starting with Eagle and would appreciate your showing (slowly) how you implemted the split ground planes and routed the large copper areas. Maybe you could show this in “slow motion”?
I will do a separate video, showing how to do that, hopefully soon.
