It has been almost 1.5 months since the last time I posted an update! There is finally an update now, and here I am sharing it. The main PCB that will go into the RC Car is ordered! I am using Seeed Studio PCB services to get my board fabricated. The board is about 8cm-10cm, and I am paying $30 in total for 5 copies of the board.
I have finally added the features I have been meaning to add onto the board and created the Gerber files. After carefully reviewing them, I decided it was good to go! I placed the order and paid for it about a couple of hours ago. Bad news is that the boards are being fabbed in China so it could take up to a month until they actually reach me. This my first time working with Seeed Studio's PCB service so I will make sure to let you know how it goes.
On top of that, I have also ordered the transistor that will be used to switch the headlights on the car, the 5V and 3.3V LDOs that will supply power to the components on the board. I am really excited to see that this board is finally getting fabricated after working on it for 4-5 months! I am planning on posting another update when I get the boards from Seeed.
