Protogen Head part 7: Laying out a PCB
Channel: Elbrar
Date: 2022-12-11

I want to build a Protogen head using a frame I'm sourcing elsewhere and electronics and exterior finishing by myself. This is part 7 of the series, where I lay out the PCB for the schematic designed last time.

Apologies for the audio quality, I'll pay more attention to OBS's settings next time.

I'm writing the bulk of the code for this project myself, using TinyGo.
Main code: https://github.com/ajanata/gotogen
Simulator: https://github.com/ajanata/gotogen-simulator
Text buffer: https://github.com/ajanata/textbuf
LED panel driver: https://github.com/ajanata/aykevl-things/tree/matrixportal-hacks
I2C DMA driver + other fixes https://github.com/ajanata/tinygo-drivers/tree/mine
