During the past months, I held a workshop at the FabLab Torino teaching people how to design their own hardware using KiCAD. (workshop lessons archive)
During the workshop, we designed LibreMote, a simple remote controller programmable just like an Arduino Pro Mini which has an integrated accelerometer and a joystick. This served us as a pretty good example to introducing the design of simple hardware, from the electronics schematics to the PCB routing.
Yesterday, I finally received the LibreMote PCBs from Dorkbot PDX. I’ll be assembling them soon and see how (if?) they work!
Here some pictures, looking not bad!
