Crazyproto
About the Crazyproto PCB
Crazyproto is an open source PCB design by sobuildit, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 48.3 × 48.3 mm, with 82 components from 4 distinct parts.
By type, the board carries 80 jumpers and 1 connector.
From the project
Crazy ideas for electronics prototyping. Sometime we just have fun with it.
Hex-SOT23 Can we use hexagonal circuit traces to define a fixed layout to route a non-trivial circuit to a SOT23 footprint (e.g. NPN Bipolar transistor) such that the component placement alone defines the circuit?
The concept is simple enough, the nodes (or wires/pads) in the centre {1,2,3} are the device pins, as identified on the PCB. The connection nodes are {A,B,C} and the 'power' nodes are {Vcc,Gnd} but those are just names, you can use them for anything.
