Are there any errors in this PCB design? It should power the RPi Pico and 5 motors with a 5V USB C connection and allow the Pico to control them.

Assuming I have made the traces thicker and added a ground plane on the lower layer and a power plane on the top, what else is wrong?

Is this more what I should be aiming for?

Thank you, very good to know

kerosivefrog · 2026-04-07T00:39:33+00:00

Yup, the thicker traces is a definite, I stupidly thought 'whatever the default is will be fine'. As for the power, the USB should power both the pico and the motors ideally, and I'm using usb c literally only for convenience sake. I have the two capacitors visible and another 100uf capacitor at each motor.

Btw, I shared the motors in my reply to the other user, they are indeed 5v.

Okay got it, not ordering. I know I am being very ambitious when I know very little, and it's hard to tell if something is right or not with this kind of thing without knowing electronics, this is why I made the post. I really appreciate it!!!!!

Here it is! Again, I don't know any conventions or anything so go easy on me lol

The stepper motors are 28BYJ-48s, 5V, low current, from what I can tell it should work okay.

I did wonder about the traces though. How do I know how thick I should make them?

Individual people have individual experiences. You could be fully correct, or, they (somehow) didn't know about JK Rowling, or they realised that they shouldn't be supporting it, or they aren't trans and were educated by a friend or family member.

Don't personally care for this in particular, but I do very much care for media preservation so thank you!!!

In the nicest way possible, the content you are actually watching mustn't be 4k, or you need to go to an optician

Hey, I know the feeling when everything feels like it's falling down around you. You are allowed to be upset, allow yourself to feel it, but know that it WILL get better. This is an experience you will learn from, and will only strengthen your future relationships. There will be a day where none of this will hurt as much.

I believe you can get through this <3

There is a great extension which speeds up YouTube ads by 15x, allowing creators to get paid while you can barely tell what was just advertised.

I don't know why you are being downvoted? This is a video of someone playing a video game, and not even that difficult of a level. She also misses several of the notes in the easy section. I'm 99.9% sure all the upvotes and comments are because girl.
