Title: New to Society; Request input on my first augmented microcontroller design
Post by: yzfanimal on November 07, 2011, 01:29:43 AM

Hi.  My name is Tony.  I am brand-spankin-new to the forum and this is my first significant attempt at building a robot from scratch as well as my first post to the forum.  I have studied several aspects of design, control and implementation on this website as well as investigated some other resources.  I have taught myself the basics of using the Eagle PCB design software and I have preliminary designs drawn up for a simple motor controller and another schematic and board for a very basic and inexpensive augmented main control unit based on the ATmega644P.  I would like to make them available here and request that anyone interested take a look at them and offer any comments as to any issues you see or recommendations you would like to share.  I hope for some feedback before I try to etch the boards and put them together.  I don't know the best way to make them accessible to this forum, so if anyone would like to help walk me through the process, I will be most grateful. Oh, yeah, To complicate matters, I am working from a MAC computer...FYI.  Thanks.  TONY

You can always export Your drawings as images or PDFs and attach them to Your posts for others to see.

Sweet.  Thank you I will try that.  I am out of town for a few days, so when I get home and back to my computer, I will try to export and attach the files.  Appreciate it.  I will post them in a few days.
