CIRCUIT DESIGN IN KICAD

It got tiring to keep making 3.3V and 5V circuits on-breadboard, so I built a PCB to do this for me. I was excited to learn how to make custom PCBs. This is my process of building the circuit and mapping it out in kicad! I ordered the PCB from Oshpark and used it often for projects throughout college.

I also built and fabricated an H-bridge to use in motor control.

Building the circuit on a breadboard got tiring...

Adding layers, vias, and labels!

CAD of the setup. Kicad creates these automatically, which I found helpful to factor the profile of the chip into my project designs.

I followed a similar process for building the H-Bridge
