I've finished the case for Fire-Forward. This was all done in #Fusion360. I had to adjust tolerances to fit the microcontroller and circuit board. I'll be posting the final printed design all assembled soon!
I have an update on the PCB development for the Fire-Forward game.
As you can see I've made some improvements to the electrical schematic as well as positioning the components on the PCB itself. You can see the soldering pads in the 3D render.
I've also 3D printed the Fusion360 design I've been making so I can better understand the ergonomics of the system as well as design an enclosure for the PCB.
Lots of new developments to come!
Let me know what you think and comment with any questions or suggestions!
You've been seeing a lot of the Fire-Forward game I've been making and I'm comfortable enough with the game development that I've started on the PCB design as well as a 3D printed enclosure for the PCB.
the PCB design is being done in KiCad 8 while the 3D design is being done in Fusion 360. Below you can see the KiCad schematic and 3D design of the PCB.
A couple decisions I've made on this: 1) I'm keeping the Stemma QT connector between the microcontroller and OLED screen (seen in various videos) for this iteration. The focus right now is to complete the build with software, electronics and mechanical design and this makes the circuit design simple 2) You don't see the microcontroller in the schematic because I'm planning on soldering it on directly to header pins for similar reasons to decision 1 above. 3) I think I'm going to add stand-offs for the OLED screen. I'll have to do a bit more detailed design on that before I make a final decision. 4) The system will be powered directly from the USB-C of the microcontroller with optional lithium battery (not shown).
That's all for now.
Let me know what you think or if you have any questions!
