So I’ve been working on my own project to control my door with my Pi.
With a lot of thanks to people on this forum I should say!
It’s mostly there now (I hope).
I’ve made a couple of connector parts that seem to be quite accurate.
The problem I face now is that as per @vanepp advice I’m using ‘thin’ (16mil) traces to get around the raspberry pi header. I found though it still needed a bit of help, so I want to extend the height of the PCB so that traces can go on all sides of the header itself, but I don’t know how to extend the PCB size - it seems locked.
Secondly the DRC brings up a whole load of errors, which I’m mythed by on account that it was the autoroute wizzard that did the routing.
I’m honestly at a loss as to why the autorouting (all be it with ‘thin’ traces) should collide as the DRC claims.
Could someone have a look for me please? If you neaten up the PCB traces too that would be absolutely epic!
Thanks very much indeed.
I’m truly excited to have my first PCB fabricated soon!
Oh, also the strike, bell and 12v-5v may take more than a thin trace can handle, so the path from the DC jack to them may need to be increased, I’ll run the number on that now to be sure.
