This is my first post here, and I'd just like to introduce myself. I'm not an electronics expert, however, I am a software developer by nature. I've been a PHP web developer for about 7 years, with experience in C++, Java and a lot of other technologies.
I'm currently in the process of designing my own ARM Cortex M3 experiment board. After I brought my own Arduino, I became more curious on how these boards are designed and manufactured.
So I decided, the best way to learn would be to go through this process myself.
I've already designed my board with a buck converter 3.3V power supply, an ESD protection array, and the device is powered from USB 5V. Further I've added my Atmel SAM3S processor, and now in the process of connecting the rest of the pins.
I'm using Eagle CAD to draw my design.
Would it be acceptable for me to post my CAD design here for constructive critique? I'm very eager to learn, and very excited about having other folks with more experience than me, point out my mistakes, so I can learn from them and rectify.
The idea is also, to ensure that, when the design is finalised, I have a greater likelihood, that the whole thing is going to work, after I've build the board, and connect it to the USB supply for its maiden power up.
