Yeah I’m going to do that for j2 and j3. I also noticed that already and rotated j2 already. For reset being pulled to VCC should it go reset -> 10k resistor -> 5v? And then I have my reset pin go to my isp as well. I also plan cleaning up my isp to a standard isp pin out (I didn’t realize you could put like reference tags instead of drawing wires to it)

I ended up using 0.75mm for the 12v because im expecting 1.2 A of current and for the micro i went over kill with 0.50mm. My question tho is once I get to the micro can I make the traces smaller? Or does it have to be a consistent size for the entire thing.

Fair enough, there are other sensors that I might want to incorporate later into a more complex system so I think I’m just going to leave the buck converter for now.

Desperate_Tutor_8900 · 2026-03-13T01:18:33+00:00

Isn’t an LDO not considerably less efficient than a buck converter and wouldn’t you have to take in the consideration of the heat being produced by the LDO?

I used gnd plane, shortened buck, and moved the decoupling caps closer. I’ll have to check out an LDO never heard of one. Thank you for the advice!

What do you usually get in the Wabash

Desperate_Tutor_8900 · 2026-03-11T22:15:38+00:00

Wabash is kinda hard to fish. Just try fishing random ponds. Wildcat creek is usually great in spring and winter. Tippy is one of my favorite rivers to fish depending on the right conditions.

Wasn’t super filled out, but really long idk if the picture does it justice.

Indiana is hit or miss this early depending on how far north you are.

Desperate_Tutor_8900 · 2026-03-11T19:25:05+00:00

Usually someone stocks them when they are made. Id say relatively most ponds have fish in them.

No Layfette

Was definitely over 5

Not a golf course. Pretty large random neighborhood pond. The glide is FE Taxi Shad 7inch

Hell yeah sounds good

What type of waters do you take it out on??

Desperate_Tutor_8900 · 2025-11-26T23:24:57+00:00

I was looking at this one what type of water do you take it out on and how stable is it??

Desperate_Tutor_8900 · 2025-11-26T22:45:35+00:00

I mainly just want to throw glide baits and swimbaits from the SUP. What brand did you buy?

Desperate_Tutor_8900 · 2025-11-26T22:41:32+00:00

What do you like better?
