Some PCB help for a Keypad
« on: Thu, 30 June 2016, 04:30:23 »
So, I am working on my first DIY project... and also my first PCB.
I think I have everything done properly, but if anyone knows their stuff, does this blueprint look right?

The first one I do, I am going to just make at home to see if I can. If it works well, I plan on cleaning it up some more and possibly getting some made to send to friends.
anyway... A PDF of my design is below.
I plan on using a Pro Micro just to try and keep it more reasonably priced. *poor college student*
seems like a pretty basic set up... Idk.

looks good as long as your not doing a single sided board

Definitely double sided.  I think I will probably redo the routing a couple more times until it is really clean and then go from there.
Thanks for the responses! :)USB

I know it's a bit off topic but I'm looking at making my first PCB as well but I'm a bit lost, could you tell me where you started and what resources you used? Thanks!
Also yours looks pretty sweet!

I was just trying to keep it as compact as possible and splitting them like that just seemed less cramped and didnt go beyond the switch outlines. :)
