Week 8: Electronics Production
JLpcb process and testing of microcontroller
On this page I will discuss the rp2040 xaio board that I designed in Kicad.
After completing the design in Kicad I uploaded the files to JLpcb and within
10 days I received my board that was ready to connect to the rp2040 via solder.
The process was easy and pretty straighforward. I uploaded the gerber files,
selected the color as well as how many boards that I wanted to receive and
that was pretty much it. That process was alot simpler then I thought it would be.
