What are people's experience with designing PCB's, based upon the active3 controller?

Hi all,

Apologies for the number of questions, I’m part the way through my hzerller based (RPIZ2W, AdaFruit triple bonnet) project and since I’m including power management (balances lipo+psu), accelerometer\fuel gauge, and the lack of availability of some boards (specifically the AdaFruit triple bonnet) it just makes more sense to out-source the design of the PCB hub for what I’m doing.

Anyway I’ve tried to design the circuit, but tripping over the passives, I’ve come to the conclusion I can’t do this myself, but if successful the end result would be a board that I can drop the Pi into, connect the battery, psu, and panels and it’ll be more assembling rather than soldering olympics.

It’s not a trivial specification I do understand, but am curious if any has done something complex like this, whether fiverr is the nightmare it’s starting to feel like :slight_smile:

Thanks guys, this forum has been such help, hopefully I can give back.
