we’ve tried to create a PCB with the notecard onboard of our wave buoy (GitHub - gauteh/sfy: 🌊 A lightweight wave buoy for near-shore deployments.). The previous versions of our hardware is available on that repository, and there’s a tutorial on hackster. We have based the design of power circuitry and antenna design on the Notecarrier A and we hope that there might be someone that could take a look at our design and PCB layout? We could also share the project on easyeda.
Hi. EasyEDA (which is a web app that doesn’t need to be installed) can only export to Altium designer: Altium_sfy3_2024-04-23_2024-06-06.zip - Google Drive, I believe it can be imported to KiCAD. Would that work?
I do understand your point of easiness with EasyEda. But for this kind of projects, I suggest to use KiCad. Seems earlier version uselike 0.3 did use KiCad. Why the change?
Because EasyEDA is easy to order with JLCPCB and components match with their huge library, which then match better when ordering. It is also easier to collaborate on EasyEDA. That’s why I moved from KiCAD to EasyEDA (and the fact that it is possible to export from EasyEDA).
I understand you. But I prefer to stay away from not open source and company dependent software. Not so good experiences in the past would make me do that.
