Yo! @jmk
I was writing a message of appreciation for every person that replied to my question and you closed the conversation with,
There has been ample time for the OP to respond to this not - Kicad related thread.
It is time for closure of this thread.
Ample time. It has only been 5 hours!
I know I’m new here and maybe I don’t understand how things work in this particular forum. But blocking the conversation after only 5 hours just doesn’t seem very reasonable. Especially when the forum docs say that threads get locked after 90 days of inactivity.
It would have been nice to have a chance to show my appreciation to the people that took their time to respond.
I’ll just put it here, I guess. Maybe they’ll see it.
Thanks so much for all the feedback! Yeah, first schematic. I have lots to learn.
How in the world did you see that short? Thanks.
Yes, I have poured over a couple of them. But it’s sometimes hard to identify the right tutorial (among hundreds) for the need at hand. Each takes a bit of time to watch. And they are quite generalized. I know that I can do it through tutorials,documentation, and making a lot of mistakes. But finding a tutor would be more efficient for learning.
These are great tips and descriptions. Thanks. Making the changes now.
Thanks for pointing out these examples on pg 15 to use as a guide. I had only made it as far as pg 10 to study their typical application schematic.
Oh! Yeah! Thanks! I can make this board simpler and take all the resistors off. That gives me more flexibility as well. But I don’t see a way to connect these SMD LED’s and Driver without a PCB. They’re so small.
I’ll try to integrate all these tips. Here’s my first draft after your suggestions.
