I've been tinkering with a personal project over the past year.

I have no experience and I'm slowly failing forward with the help of YouTube, KiCad and patience.

I've had three rounds of PCB's from an online supplier, only to discover issues related to my own understanding of the components in each version.

In my latest iteration I've been leaning on some standard models (Gemini and Claude) and they have inspected my schematics and spotted some errors and instructed me on how to address them, as well as advised on how to make use of some components I wasn't aware I needed.

What I will say... they didn't design anything, I've done that myself, but they have been a good tool to bounce ideas off of.

Time will tell if I will get something usable this time around!
