n this post I discuss how I went about designing the schematic and choosing components.
http://bitknitting.wordpress.com/2014/0 ... out-board/
I want to start making PCBs. To get started, I designed a RFM69HW breakout board - similar in concept to the cc3000 breakout board but using the RFM69HW for wireless RF. I used kicad because this is what we're using in a course I am talking (Contextual Electronics).
I thought other folks that are "in the same boat" might be interested in what I learned along the way.
ALSO - I aspire to end up with a PCB populated with components that I have soldered on (seems intimidating right now...but...what the heck, I've got my rubber ducky in case I end up in the deep end...after all - just keep swimming!).
I would *VERY MUCH LOVE* to know how I can improve on the schematic. I also don't expect feedback - rather cherish it and learn from it when I receive it.
Thank you.
