    Recently, I made an Arduino UNO that I showed to have better switching characteristics than a commercial board. It was a great project to help me understand how seemingly inconsequential routing practices can lead to issues down the line.http://www.simonjjones.com/#/posts/golden-arduino

    Neat project. These popular "commodity" devboard designs have been remixed and copied so much that it was just missing an open-source design to slot into many existing projects. I can imagine designing a board using one of these designs as a "template" but adding whatever capabilities I need, then knowing it fits a standard footprint.

    This is an amazing resource. It was difficult to appreciate what this resource was for until I tried to create my own boards based on an ESP32. It's not really difficult to build around ESP32, it's just that I don't know what I don't know. With starting points like these, I can start with a lot more confidence. Thank you!

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get started on projects like this, specifically alongside kids (very smart 9-13 in range)?I got them a 3d printer to move them into more "physical" computing, with mixed results.Any place to have a gentle introduction to PCB boards?

    Awesome! It's been a while, but my next level of learning was designing PCBs without breakout boards (and I had several failed revisions). This will be great to learn from.

    wow, I've been wanting a "PCB design system" like this for such a long time. I've always found it stupidly hard to just take an existing working board and tweak it.

    This is a nice project that I will definitely be looking into for my projects!

    Is the intention that you "fork" the PCB design and use it as a base/template for you own schematics/PCB design, or something else?

    Awesome.
