I have never designed a PCB before, so, please tell me if this is okay.
It's pretty simple: a STAC64 header (male pins) breaking out to discrete pads (which I will attach a short pigtail to that in turn attaches to a STAC64 female plug.
There's a CAN H and CAN L breakout.
TLDR: I'm meant to be working on a new review that requires installation of something that attaches to the CAN bus using.. wait for it... WIRE TAP SNAPS.
1) those fail and 2) I have had some bad experiences where I ended up breaking an entire cable. I'm not about to do that on an expensive truck
I have a Digikey part order. I have the right diameter cables. I have a 3D printer, and I can make 2 sided PCBs on my CNC machine.
The P-N is a direct correlation to the pin numbers of the STAC 64 connector.

OK, this is total overkill, but I made my traces much larger, for increased success ;) Tell me it's workable?! #KiCad #Circuits #DIY #Maker
