The PCB is already good enough running on 2 AA/AAA battery or a 9V battery. But I want my arduboy to be rechargeable by adding a lipo battery and TP4056 module.
also I want to make a front cover for it so I came up with new PCB design that Include the pad for TP4056 module and Faceplate made from the PCB
I have no experience at all on making a PCB. But I want to try it with the diy arduboy project. Fortunately I found a person called Amal that kind enough sharing his PCB design for another arduboy project on easyeda.
Then I fork his design which is already good enough
and from there I modified his design to learn about making PCB and also to suit my needs.
Changes that I made from his design are:
After all the changes above, I came up with my own design which still a bit simillar looking but with more feature
After the first prototype I am ordering arduino pro micro to make the console smaller, and while waiting for the pro micro, I found a 3.7 volt 1000 mAH lipo battery from my unused previous project. So, I decided to order another component which is a lipo charger and 5v booster module from wemos.
After all the components arrive I unplugged the oled display start soldering again on a smaller Perfboard and added caps to the buttons
It is another success and I was pretty satisfy with the result for few months.
But I still want this project to be more neat by creating a custom PCB for this. And I have no knowledge at all for designing a PCB. So, I try installing KiCad and learn about it but there are so many keys I need to memories. I need a more simple tool than KiCad, then I try easyeda which is a lot easier for a dummy like me.
Before I was able to do a PCB design I was making this project using a low quality single sided perfboard and for jumper wires I peel an unused LAN cable.
Fortunately I have an Arduino Micro from adafruit that has been sitting in a box for several years and it is a great to use it.
For powering the Device I use two CR2032 coin cell battery in series to give the board enough power which later I learned that it is not the best for this project because it only run for 20-30 minutes.
After Hours of soldering this what I come up with
It was a succes attempt but the run time wasn't enough
yup, thank you duke. I have great time learning designing the PCB and never satisfy to add more new feature with it
Is your first time to design the PCB?a good job.
