Electronics Production

For this week’s assignment, I had to design and fabricate my own PCB. I decided to create a breakout board for the Xiao RP2040, essentially an extension board that provides access to almost every type of pin and its function. The process involved multiple steps, from designing the schematic to milling the PCB on a Roland SRM-20. Below is a detailed breakdown of my workflow.

Refining the Schematic Design

In Week 6 (Electronic Design), I had already created a schematic, but it wasn’t as clean and organized as I wanted. So, the first step this week was to refine the schematic diagram, ensuring it was properly structured with minimal errors. This step was crucial as it directly impacted the routing process later.
