Designing a PCB for Managing 6 Pilot Wires with STM32 and MOC3043
Morning guys, I want to create a manager for 6 pilot wires using MOC3043 for the 220V part, an STM32 Blue Pill, an OLED screen, a few buttons, and an SD card reader for control. The sketch is functional, and the breadboard prototype confirms it works.
Making a printed circuit board for this seems like a good idea, except that I have never made one before (apart from using copper boards, pads, and ferric chloride... yuck).
My questions are:
Making a printed circuit board for this seems like a good idea, except that I have never made one before (apart from using copper boards, pads, and ferric chloride... yuck).
My questions are:
- Which free software is the easiest to use for implementing this (with only basic components)?
- What would be the cost of a 2-layer PCB with plated-through holes, measuring 8 x 10 cm²?
Solution
- You can used KiCAD for the design.
- You can try pcbway.com or jlcpcb.com both will give you the estimate cost for the size.
