revision 3
05/17/2018 at 04:13 • 0 commentsRevision 3 of the board came in and I quickly soldered it together and it works.
I can control the USB port with either a 3.3V/5V MCU! This should be ideal for automation testing and deploying code. -
salvaging botched PCBs with bodges
05/16/2018 at 01:53 • 0 commentsOne other thing I didn't notice with the new PCB design was that the USB A connector had its wiring completely reversed in EasyEDA. I sourced the components and PCB fab through LCSC and JLCPCB, and they were super helpful in refunding my money for the mistake, even though there were already a couple of other mistakes on the board.
Here we have some bodge wires and some TH components to further test and validate the new design.

cost down boo boo
05/16/2018 at 01:49 • 0 commentsIn an attempt to bring the PCB cost down, I spun up a new design, and added support for 3.3V to 5V logic toggling of the AP2171. Too bad I didn't notice the copper pour was messed up when I uploaded my Gerber to the fab.
