I let Fritzing autoroute traces, and then fixed whatever issues its DRC (design rules checker) brought up. The schematic after some cleanup looks like this The Raspberry Pi component was obtained from the Adafruit Fritzing library at GitHub (AdaFruit.fzbz). I found most components in the Fritzing library. It is a custom breakout for the Raspberry Pi Model B Rev 2. The PCB I designed is very simple, and contains only through-hole parts. Though the latter doesn’t come cheap, it is totally worth it. Times have changed, we now have simple circuit design software such as Fritzing, and rapid PCB prototyping machines such as the LPKF ProtoMat S62. The fabrication was contracted out to a third-party. The last time I designed my own PCB, in 1995, I used parchment (butter) paper and stickers.

The end PCB is like a Raspberry Pi HAT (although it is simplified so does not meet all the requirements of a HAT).ĭetails of the setup and software install are available on the Raspberry Pi Christmas House Project page.Project maintained by tewarid Hosted on GitHub Pages - Theme by mattgraham Prototyping a PCB using LPKF ProtoMat S62

This next video goes step-by-step through creating a printed circuit board (PCB) in Fritzing. Using the schematic diagram for the initial circuit design and then using a breadboard to prototype the circuit.Ĭreating a printed circuit board (PCB) in Fritzing This is the design of a breadboard and schematic diagram showing a step-by-step tutorial of how to create these using Fritzing. Designing a breadboard and schematic diagram using Fritzing More details about the Christmas House project. This video introduces the Christmas House project. Overview of Christmas House Raspberry Pi HAT project The PCB does not quite meet the requirements of a HAT, but fits on top of the Raspberry Pi similar to a HAT. This is based around a Raspberry Pi Christmas House project, which first started on a breadboard and is then made into a Raspberry Pi HAT style printed circuit board (PCB). This also includes the soldering of the board along with the software. This includes building a prototype on a breadboard, creating a schematic diagram and then designing a printed circuit board (PCB) which is then sent off for fabrication. This project will take you through the process in creating a circuit from the initial design to a complete circuit.
