Week 6 / hello FTDI/ Modify little - cut - solder - program it. In this week I made Uzon FTDI which is modify hello ftdi. I simply follow this tutorial and it is really helpful. Link First thing you do is download eagle cad. It is for draw schematics and routes. Here is for newest version of eagle cad Link
This is the result after following really good example. but the thing is you really have to follow the tutorial. Don't trust your self but you can have a question. When you try to put "NAME" on FTDI connector and there already names are but you should keep follow the tutorial. If you "NAME" it as the components you will go through hard time when you program it.
Just like this don't ignore but ignore what the component saying.

After you make all the components connect in Schematic turn in as a board. And you will see the screen just like the picture above. black and yellow and red-ish orange.

 

Yellow Line means the connection that you have made in schematic.

Red means your components.

 

You can make a lot of layers in Board.

In this week I just want to avoid the adventure so just like a lamb I have followed nice tutorial that I have mention already.

 

connect every thing and simply change some look by using routes.

 

After you make all the route. you have to check it whether it is going to be cut well or not.

So, down load the fabmodule.dru and put it in the  eaglecad's "dru" folder.

Aright. Copy and Paste

after that simply hit "DRC" which stands for Design Rule Check.

 

and load fabmodule.dru

 

after that look at the screen whether there is problem or not.

Check the layers and let's hide all the names.

You don't need it for the making trace out of it.

In the eaglecad tutorial they recommend you to export png in 500dpi but you have to do it with more than 1000dpi. If you try with 500dpi you will get awful trace. (I didn't try but one the other fab academy student told me.)

Don't forget to check "Monochrome" to make it b&w image.

If  you want, you can cut mine you can modify my board.

Use Fab Modules to cut out your board. Here is link for the how to use fabmodules.org
After that collect every components and solder it!
As you can see I put thr hole type register because of the result for calculation below.
It saids that I have to you 150ohm resister for my led. To check your led spec you have to searching in the digikey.com
But! I recommend you to use 499ohm smd type resister. because it has less possibility to burn your led. and it just slightly bigger than 150ohm. After changing resister I programed my ftdi board with hello isp that I cut 2weeks ago. I have use arduino de. It was so simple so I am going to try with ftdi connector and terminal.
And this is final video of this week assignment and it is "HELLO" in morse code.
Here is my schematic. Here is my board.
