DIY Arduino PCB (Pyramiduino) | #24

[James]

DIY Arduino PCB with KiCad. The Baldengineer shows how to design his Pyramiduino. Start with some corrections from episode 23’s schematic, make some changes, and then start drawing traces. During the design, two signals didn’t seem to get connected. Can you find them in the Github project files? Will you be the one to save the Pyramiduino design?!

Check the previous part on the schematic and subscribe to see the next part, when we populate and turn on the board for the first time.

The schematic from episode #23 had a few corrections, which is available at the GitHub link. There are two versions of the Pyramiduino PCB. One is "R4" which has no unconnected nets. While there is an exercise folder with a board that has two issues.
