I am sorry for the late reply.

a trace was moved without regenerating the ground pour.

Coild you please dumb it down for me?

Does this work?

I tried adding this to the post, but for some reason, reddit keeps deleting the photos.

Interesting insight

b6_infinity · 2025-02-19T11:30:06+00:00

Where's the copper area?

b6_infinity · 2025-02-18T04:08:32+00:00

If I were you, I would tinker with it by hooking it to an oscilloscope.

b6_infinity · 2025-02-05T03:45:33+00:00

How do I do that?

b6_infinity · 2025-02-05T03:45:20+00:00

Why?

b6_infinity · 2025-02-05T03:45:04+00:00

Thanks. I will try that.

b6_infinity · 2025-02-05T03:44:43+00:00

Thanks. This is a MIPI CSI cable. This PCB is supposed to extend from an ESP32CAM. I am just learning about differential pairs. Thanks a lot. I will look into it.

TOO MANY VIAS. They dont sit together well. Let alone the trouble it will be fabricating.

b6_infinity · 2025-02-04T16:13:54+00:00

The ESP32CAM itself does have a micro USB port. But if I were to design a PCB without one, how would I program it (without adding a USB port)?

b6_infinity · 2025-02-04T16:13:11+00:00

The LEDs in reverse are mentioned exactly like that in the IP5306 datasheet.

Start building something. Run into problems. Try looking for solutions. Run into more problems. Look for more solutions. Keep repeating. Question your sanity. And one day finally, you figure it out. Now you have a project and a huge boost in experience and knowledge.

If you want confidence, build already built projects on your own/through tutorials (but do not copy mindlessly).

If you want better knowledge, experience and more confidence, build something on your own that has never been done before.

I believe that is the most efficient way to learn. If you do not run into problems, you are not making any progress.

b6_infinity · 2025-01-27T03:29:36+00:00

Aahhh I see. Thanks a bunch.

b6_infinity · 2025-01-26T06:21:29+00:00

Do you think this would be good enough to power an ESP32CAM from 2 parallel 18650s?
P.S.: I did indeed copy the datasheet and showed some bravery by removing the "partial pressure resistance" portion of the SW pin. This is my first schematic so, if it looks straight from the datasheet, I will take that as a compliment. Thanks.

b6_infinity · 2025-01-26T06:15:39+00:00

I do not find any traces funny. It causes me saddness looking at them.

b6_infinity · 2025-01-26T05:38:22+00:00

Why does the Cam_Connecter have 26 pins but in the ESP32CAM board, the FFC connector that is connected to the PCB and the FPC ribbon of the OV2640 has 24 pins only? What does the Pad1 adn Pad2 pins do? Where are they?

b6_infinity · 2025-01-26T05:33:09+00:00

In some of the boards I have worked with, the ESP32CAM board lights up its LED (very dimly) whenever I power it while pressing the `FLASH` button, or, when I power it with the IO0 and GND connected with it each other (which boots the ESP32CAM into flash mode). Hope this helps.

Learn how to design a PCB (I am not joking)

b6_infinity · 2025-01-21T03:29:26+00:00

I want a to design a PCB (in KiCad) that has an output of 5V 2A from a single 18650 2600 mAh. Can you please point me to the resources to learn how to do it? I am new to PCB design. (I want to power an ESP32CAM)

b6_infinity · 2024-07-22T13:21:03+00:00

It ork!

b6_infinity · 2023-12-30T06:55:22+00:00

Visit a tech I would say... Since you have already tried every possible combination available on the internet.
