This week was spent learning how to use the carvera, arduino IDE, kicad and, makera CAM. All of these programs are a lot to learn in one week so a lot of this week is rushed and in a funky state. This week is the start of crunch time for both forge projects but also productions I am on and work leading to a really awfull time management which does not help at all. I would have loved to spend more time and develop a better product but the time I had avaliable to me did not give enought time for all of my projects due this week and any amout of work life balance. The final prodcut was meant to be 2 neo pixels that are controled over wifi using a double sided circut board but I did not have the time to mill out 2 sides. when I first milled my board it was done with 2 sided PCB which when I did not mill a second side lead to shorting itself on the second side. I attempted to cut my own traces as show in the video but as that did not work I had to mill a second board in the hours leading to class.
