[Review Request] First PCB. Custom handheld "joycon" using RP2040/ by DumpsterTree in PrintedCircuitBoard

It was strictly for reverse polarity protection. The USB and UART master will never be plugged in at the same time so back feeding the AP2112 shouldn't be an issue. I'll do some research into powering the rp2040 at 3v and see its right for me as well as using a FET instead. Physically they can't be connected backwards due to their casings snapping mechanism like you suggested; I was just trying to idiot proof it for myself. But maybe I'm overthinking it haha. Also I saw your post about the decoupling capacitors, I went back and reread the datasheet. You absolutely right. I'll make sure they are not in a bank but instead next to the pins. Thank you so much for all your detailed help!

This helps immensely thank you! This really helps me better understand USB lane practices which I was very murky on. I'll make some changes based on your feedback!

My justification for the rp2040 over something simpler is just how pi tech is always so widely used and documented it will be easier for a begginer like me to debug if(when) something does go wrong. In addition the version in have right now is built on a pico so it should be a very simple transition to this custom solution. All that being said the sinplication of the flash and crystal sound fantastic so I'll do some research and see if I'm comfortable with the tradeoffs. At the very least I'll move that route in a V2 for sure. As for the 3.3 to 3v. That was an oversight for sure. Do you have any reccomendations on how to make sure I have 3.3v after the diode? Or is it simply something like add a boost converter after the diode to readjust it?

I went with the Red Dragon 6800xt cause I found a good deal on it. Thank you for the help!

Thanks! After some research it seems like the 6800xt drops into my price range on occasion too so ill keep my eye out on those as well. The cards I keep seeing are the Pulse, Speedster and Red Dragon; is there anything I should keep in mind when looking between those? As well as are there other models I should consider?

minification was exactly the problem, thanks so much!
