Hello,
I just recently ordered my first PCB board and I didn’t realize that the holes for the Barrel Jack are slated for a barrel jack pins that would fit in a breadboard. The pins of the barrel jack I purchased are more of a flat pin, which I assume is designed for a PCB board? The holes on the PCB are tiny and I’m just so new to this I don’t know if I made a mistake or manufacturer did (I’m assuming I did).
The Linear Voltage regulator (7805 TO-220) fits in the PCB board, but it’s kind of the same. I would like it to sit flush on the board (not a big deal), but the pins flatten out and get larger towards the base if that makes sense.
Everything else seems to be good (for my very first design) if someone could help me find the correct part or make the holes for the Barrel Jack bigger I would greatly appreciate it! Please keep in mind I am very new to this side of things (I’m a software engineering student, with one class on the embedded side).
Another quick question, on the final design of the PCB the bottom of it does not have any of the traces that were supposed to be on the bottom, I’m assuming this is ok/supposed to be the case?
