I have been working on this project for a few days now and had this idea for months. So basically over 12 hours of stuff that should have been logged was lost, here is the simplified version:
- I tried copying the pin-outs on (Tuesday I think) the deauther documentation, but they were for a NodeMCU. Now never having made a schematic before I tried to switch, after trying to figure out a battery to the a NodeMCU after the whole thing with the button footprints and finding that my footprint libraries didn't match.
- I created a new KiCAD project and tried to find a footprint and schematic for a NodeMCU I found one, but, I didn't check it before, It was a esp32 version. I created an entire schematic and single-sided PCB, revamped them, only to find that they were all useless. This was probably four hours of work.
- Momentary back to the Wemos, like, for 30 minutes.
- I tried the Adafruit Huzzah because of the integrated LiPoly battery connector but gave up after trying to translate the pins.
- Read Spacehun's Hackheld docs and went back to the Wemos by looking at how he/she (I'm not sure) connected the components drew a (I hope) functioning schematic and then a PCB, and, great news it costs $2 (£1.64 or €1.89) for 5 double-sided two layer boards (I will make a graphic showing what I mean by double-sided)
- I put a Open Source Hardware logo on the PCB and made this (repository? I'm sure what to call this page) log as well as created an account (Finally, after 7 months of listening to the podcast and reading Hackaday).
