Week 9: Eagle PCB Design

 

The latest version of my Eagle schematic and board file. I am planning to make a ground plane so there are no ground routes. Question, do I still need to connect all the ground plane “islands” together? Currently, I’m stuck trying to trouble shoot routing the capacitors. They seem to be all connected in parallel in the schematic and yet some of them refuse to connect with the power and ground pins on the LEDs. The link to the eagle files.

This is my quick prototype of the music box with measurements in mm, this is the minimum volume that the box needs to fit the components. I will resize it bigger for the next iteration but this model helps me get a sense of the size that I will be working with. The red is the PCB, approximately it can be about 65mm x 35mm but potentially bigger. The speaker is going to be the component that takes up the most space.
