Work completed
  • Project description updated to “Ultra-Compact 4-Motor DRV8833 Breakout Board for Reliable Motor Control.”
  • System Architecture mermaid diagram added to project property.
  • Support components placed and configured:
    • D1–D4 TVS diodes
    • C1–C8 decoupling/bulk capacitors (0.1 µF & 10 µF)
    • R1–R6 sense and pull-up resistors
  • Connectors added:
  • Net wiring done per plan:
    • VM & GND to decoupling capacitors and DRV8833 VM/GND
    • VINT decoupling and pull-ups on nSLEEP/nFAULT
    • Sense resistors on AISEN/BISEN nets
    • Logic header pins wired to AINx/BINx
    • Motor connectors wired to AOUTx/BOUTx
Tasks not yet done
  • Place and configure the two DRV8833CPWPR motor driver ICs (DRV8833CPWPR).
Tasks I cannot perform
  • Generating a standalone mermaid diagram code block (plan 1.2).
  • Footprint verification and assignment for all components (plan 5.1).
  • Measuring and updating board extents and dimensions (plans 5.2.1–5.2.3).
  • Adding board margin, outline, and mounting holes (plans 5.3–5.4).
  • Classifying nets and setting layout rules (plan 6.1).
Success criteria review
  • Schematic with two DRV8833 ICs and all support components: ❌ DRV8833 ICs not yet placed.
  • All motor, logic, and power connectors exposed and wired: ✅
  • Final layout optimized and passing DRC/ERC: ❌ Layout not begun.
Recommended next step
Add the two DRV8833CPWPR ICs to the schematic, assign their pins, and wire them to the existing connectors and support components. Once the drivers are placed, we can finalize the schematic and move on to PCB footprint assignment and layout.

  • Ground
    A common return path for electric current. Commonly known as ground.
  • Net Portal
    Wirelessly connects nets on schematic. Used to organize schematics and separate functional blocks. To wirelessly connect net portals, give them same designator. #portal
  • Power Net Portal
    Wirelessly connects power nets on schematic. Identical to the net portal, but with a power symbol. Used to organize schematics and separate functional blocks. To wirelessly connect power net portals, give them the same designator. #portal #power
