To connect the PCB and the components so that the design looks still nice I figured out some simple methods: | |||
*I found the possibility to work with through-hole-components. That means the LED is soldered on the back of the PCB but through a hole it is visible on the front side. This avoids the PCB tracks on the front of the plate. | |||
*The microphone has to be placed on the front of the plate because it needs to sense sound and music. To make it more inconspicuous I created a little planet looking like Saturn. The silkscreen is the ring around it and the microphone the planet itself. | |||
*I had some problems with connecting the tracks. One of the connections was not possible, so I had to set two plated-through holes to create a „bridge“. It is set in one of the copper stars, so it was not necessary to make an extra track. It is not completely invisible but you can only see two little holes. | |||
