Today in class, we finished doing a practice run on the KiCad to design a motor drive PCB circuit. Pictured below is our final product. For this process, we learned how to use the KiCad software which is very useful for our project as we will be using KiCad to design our own circuit for the remote-controlled cars. 


Additionally, we also furthered our work on the Voltera Punk Console, placing rivets and adding solder paste. However, we ran into some challenges with the solder paste, which we plan to resolve for / during next class.

Will you have one of the circuit boards pictured in each of your cars? What are you using the Punk Console for?

The Punk Console was to get familiar with printing with the Voltera. We will have a circuit board per car (given time allows us to print more than one).

How does the circuit printer work? Do you design it on your personal computer and then print it?

We are designing our circuit on a software called KiCAD, and then we print it using the Voltera software and printer.
