Wow. I've just been to the movies and watched a heap of short films. It was a bit like watching SBS on a Saturday night. I dont understand most of it but watch anyway.
Matt you have gone to extraordinary lengths to show 100% of the members here what goes into designing a driver of which 99% more than likely wont attempt, me included. I thank you for taking the time to show us all basically whats involved and how to go about it and can only wonder how many weeks you have spent learning and executing your hobby here and other places. I can gladly say that there is a few words that we share whether it is designing drivers or making something in the shed. Those I did understand.
Haha, except it's not in French or Spanish. Just plain old bogan Australian!
Things are easier to pick up and learn if they are a hobby you enjoy doing. It all gets a bit overwhelming at times and in those situations I need to step back and take a break. Most of the time though, it's fun :)
Can I import your .brd (or the download file) from OSHPark into eagle and “tweak” them…as in say I get Tiny12 modify it a bit, enlarge it to 15mm, or do I need the schematic file you build your original board from?
I noticed something in video Part 2 (not sure if my OCD, or the fact that I clicked back about a bazillion times to make sure I entered EXACTLY what you entered)
At 9:35 you label the symbol left leg OUT and right led VDD, but when you hide the label, then in text under info you reversed them (at 10:13)…would that cause an issue when building the schematic? Or does the connect logically connect them the proper way under the build device section?
Did you build your resistor and capacitor parts, I found them picking thru but when I go to add them to schematic…they aren’t there
IPC Standard SMD Packages
This is a package-only library, based on the Surface Mount Design and Land Pattern Standard developed by the Institute for Interconnecting and Packaging electronic Circuits (IPC).
Has the green button, but when I hit add part it doesn’t show up in the list…uggh
There is a mirror switch in the tool bar. Left click the mirror switch and then left click the component. The component will turn blue to indicate that it was mirrored to the bottom layer. Now, you can put it to where as you wish in the bottom side. The icon is look like this [ l ].
