Making a custom PCB for the RFF LPC Project

In my last post I talked about the RFF on LPC Project. For making things easier I wanted to make a PCB which I can connect via two 10 pin IDC cables. This are the same which are used for the normal LCDs! For making the PCB I used EasyEDA.

This is a web application which is an all-in-one solution. You can make the schematic, the PCB layout and the BOM list all in one software. Also, the ordering via JLCPCB is integrated. As I am no electronic engineer, I am not super familiar with PCB design. But i can do the basics! So first step was to make the schematic. This is very simple and looks like that:

After that you have to place the components and route the traces! Very easy too! After some work it looks like that:

The next step is to order the PCB on JLCPCB. The process is very simple. If you want to learn more there are a ton of videos on YouTube!

So now I have to wait till the PCBs arrive at my door from China....
