Austin's PCB Business Card
A PCB Business Card with an NFC Tag and 2 LEDs.
Total Time Spent On Entire Project: 13hrs
June 22nd/23rd Awful Sleep Schedule
My friend Eddy Zhao showed me a great tutorial on making a PCB Business Card, which inspired me to try it out. https://jams.hackclub.com/jam/hacker-card
I initially tried to export all of the parts to a KiCAD library, but I could not find the footprints for the resistor and LEDs, so I continued with EasyEDA.
Here is the schematic. I made it very similar, but I just added one extra LED
I added SVGs of email, GitHub, and LinkedIn to make the PCB look a bit more aesthetically pleasing with my contact info.
Unfortunately, it felt kinda empty, so I started using the soldermask layer to add some color around
Added braille with the copper layer, but I have no idea if it would work.
I don't have a job, so I just put down that I am a student.
And I put down a few things I do
Found rounded edges
