Adrian McEwen<p>Back on designing the audio level shifter board for my bike transmitter.</p><p>Moved up to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@FreeCAD" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>FreeCAD</span></a></span> v1.0 and it really feels like a proper release.</p><p>The inclusion of the assembly workbench is great (this is an assembly of a step file from <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@kicad" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>kicad</span></a></span> and two bodies); and lots of little improvements in the sketcher make it much smoother to use.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/CAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CAD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/PCB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PCB</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/weeknotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>weeknotes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/ibal249" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ibal249</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeCAD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/design" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>design</span></a></p>
Adrian McEwen<p>Still, it's imported nicely into <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/Kicad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Kicad</span></a> and should let me get on with designing the case for it now.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/weeknotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>weeknotes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/ibal249" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ibal249</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeCAD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/OSHW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OSHW</span></a></p>
Adrian McEwen<p>Spent the evening levelling up my <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeCAD</span></a> skills to model a stereo pot, including forays into shapebinders and the drafting workbench to create an array of parts.</p><p>Slightly disappointed that the final step needed to export it to <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/Kicad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Kicad</span></a> merged all the bodies to a single one and so discarded all the different materials/colours I'd carefully constructed beforehand 🤣</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/weeknotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>weeknotes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/ibal249" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ibal249</span></a></p>
