Project Progress and Status

  1. Started by comparing communication technologies and available microcontrollers, RFID modules, LED constellations, charging circuits, and voltage regulator systems. For more information please go to the submodules section.
  2. Started by doing a general schematic to get an overview:

  3. I was told to reduce the complexity of the project, so I decided to test the different submodules separately first. For more information please go to the submodules section. Neil recommended using the XIAO and simulate the SPI connection in code to require less pins.
  4. After finishing working on the individual submodules, it was time to make a V2 on the general schematic:

  5. The previous footprint would have not fit in the chassis. So I redesigned it to be build in layers:
