1. Why I started with this project?
I enjoy CAD and 3D printing, and my latest challenge was designing a fully custom RC car. Working with breadboards can be very frustrating, and that’s why I designed my first PCBs for this project!
2. What I love about electronics?
The beauty of making something move autonomously is very exciting, and I’m hyped every single time when I succeed with such projects.
3. Which PCB Design Tool I use and why?
The PCBs were designed with KiCAD.
4. What’s my greatest fail with the project?
The first PCB did not have thermal relief pads because I was not aware what they were needed for and, therefore, opted-out the automatic generation of them in KiCAD. The consequence? Soldering was quite a pain…
5. What’s my greatest win in the project?
The project included two PCBs - and both of them work perfectly
6. What’s my most favorite feature AISLER?
Aisler is very newbie-friendly since a lot of information for beginners is available, which did help me a lot in designing my first PCBs so that they can be manufactured!
