The Final Version#
This iteration uses my first custom designed PCB to house all components together. Although it is very simple, practicing PCB design will allow me to pursue more ambitious PCB-based projects in the future. Another benefit is the reduced case size by a few millimeters, which solves a clearance issue with the camera from the previous iteration.
Next Ambitions#
With this project done, I want to pursue more interesting projects like my Water Softener Automation idea.
Issues Faced#
You may notice the PCB is cut at the corners. This is because I did not account for the rounded corners in my CAD when designing the PCB. Because the case’s design is higher priority, I used cutters to snip off the PCB edges.
