Use the existing design concept developed over the summer and the KiCad software to make a digital schematic of the low-voltage supply concept.

Further instructions:

Start by downloading KiCad:
http://kicad-pcb.org/

There are instructions there about how to get started.

Essentially, the steps are to make a schematic, assign footprints to the devices in the schematic, and then lay out the board from there.

Here is a tool to make pinouts from datasheets, it might be useful:

And here’s an online tool to get started with making a component from scratch (but starting with a layout):

This book is long, but good to skim through for best practices:

You’ll want to manage all of this in Git. Here are some good instructions for how to make sure that your git commits are relatively clean:

I made a repo here to start collecting everything.
