Charles-cad
Charles Ariel Dion developed foundational hardware platforms for the robotique-udes/PCB repository, focusing on scalable board design and subsystem integration. Over two months, he established project baselines for GasConnBrd and GNSS, modernized schematics, and integrated the ESP32-S3-WROVER module. His approach emphasized maintainability, using KiCad for schematic capture and PCB layout, and applying electronics engineering principles to refine CAN bus and power circuitry. By iteratively improving component placement, footprint management, and project structure, Charles enabled faster prototyping and streamlined hardware validation. His work reduced downstream rework and improved readiness for hardware iteration, demonstrating depth in embedded systems and hardware design.

Jul 1, 2025July 2025 - robotique-udes/PCB monthly summary: Key features delivered: - ProtoBoard hardware platform setup: created ProtoBoard PCB project and schematic groundwork, defined layers, footprints, pins, and JST connectors to enable prototyping. - GasConnBrd PCB and CAN/Power improvements: CAN bus and power circuitry refactor, added test points, net corrections, layout cleanup, and edge/zone adjustments; version 2 compact completed. - ESP32-S3-WROVER integration and schematic modernization: updated KiCad schematic to integrate ESP32-S3-WROVER module with updated footprints and component symbols. Major bugs fixed: - GasConnBrd: fixed PCB bug related to net corrections and stability in version 2 rollout (noted in commit "PCB avec bug fixed"). Overall impact and accomplishments: - Established a solid hardware foundation for ProtoBoard and GasConnBrd, enabling faster prototyping and more reliable CAN/power performance. Aligned schematic modernization with ESP32-S3-WROVER integration for future features, improving maintainability and readiness for hardware iteration cycles. - Demonstrated end-to-end PCB workflow from initial groundwork to integration and cleanup, reducing downstream rework. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - KiCad schematic and PCB layout, CAN bus integration, power circuitry design, module integration (ESP32-S3-WROVER), and iterative design cleanups. Strong emphasis on maintainability and readiness for prototyping.
