I’m migrating my current AMB82-mini daughter-board solution to a single, production-ready PCB built around Realtek’s RTL8735BDM module. You’ll have the original AMB82-mini schematic and layout in PADS binary as a starting point; the goal is to recreate and extend that design in Altium Designer. Essential upgrades • Integrate a DS3231 RTC • Add a LiFePO₄-compatible battery gauge with coulomb counting • Provide a full-size SD-card slot • Break out USB and SPI/I²C headers for easy access during development and in-field updates What I expect as a turnkey hand-off • Altium schematic and multilayer PCB layout • Optimised stack-up, impedance-controlled traces where needed • Manufacturing package: Gerbers, drill files, pick-and-place, 3D step, fabrication & assembly drawings • Verified BOM with second-source components and current availability • Brief design report covering key decisions and test points Acceptance criteria • All added features operate from the same power domain without disrupting Wi-Fi/BT performance of the RTL8735BDM • Board passes basic ERC/DRC in Altium and conforms to standard PCB house specs (6/8-layer, 4 mil/4 mil minimum) • USB, SPI and I²C lines show clean signal integrity in the layout review • Deliverables import directly into Altium without missing libraries I’m looking for someone with a strong embedded background, proven multilayer experience and a track record of 5-star projects who can steer this design all the way to a build-ready status. If that’s you, let’s get started.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can take the existing AMB82-mini design as the reference and migrate it into a clean, production-ready Altium project around the RTL8735BDM, while preserving the proven functionality and integrating the requested upgrades. I have 15+ years of electronics and PCB development experience, including embedded systems, multilayer PCB design, power management and production documentation. I’m not a licensed engineer, but I’m comfortable handling the complete PCB development workflow from schematic through manufacturing outputs. I would approach this in stages: first review the PADS source and existing power/RF architecture, then recreate the schematic and stack-up in Altium, integrate the DS3231, LiFePO₄ coulomb-counting gauge, SD interface and development headers, followed by careful RF/power/SI layout and ERC/DRC verification. I’ll pay particular attention to keeping the RTC and SD/power circuitry from introducing noise into the RTL8735BDM Wi-Fi/BT section, while maintaining appropriate impedance control and clean USB/SPI/I²C routing. Deliverables will include the editable Altium project, multilayer PCB, Gerbers, drill, CPL, BOM with alternatives, STEP model, fabrication/assembly drawings, test points and design notes. Please send the original AMB82-mini PADS files and any available RTL8735BDM documentation. After reviewing them, I can give you a realistic fixed price and timeline for the complete turnkey hand-off.

Hi, I can deliver your board as a complete, manufacturing-ready package — schematic, multilayer layout, and all production files — without the usual back-and-forth between designer and fab house. I have 14+ years of experience in PCB design and firmware development. I work daily in Altium Designer, KiCAD, and Eagle, and I own licenses for Altium and Eagle, so I can start immediately on your project. My background covers: • 2–16 layer PCB layout, high-speed routing, and controlled-impedance design • Mixed-signal boards, power distribution, and EMI-aware placement • Full deliverables: schematic, PCB layout, BoM, Gerbers, pick-and-place, ODB++, assembly drawings, DRC report, and 3D STEP model I previously worked at READA PCB Technology in Shenzhen as a PCB designer and production manager. That factory-side experience means my layouts are built for real manufacturing — correct clearances, sensible via strategy, and DFM/DFA checks before files go out the door. If you also need prototypes or small-batch assembly, I can coordinate PCB fabrication, PCBA, component sourcing, functional testing, and shipping through the Shenzhen network I know well from my time at READA. I am available to start right away and happy to sign an NDA before reviewing your design brief. Looking forward to your reply. Best regards, Ting

Hi there, Moving the AMB82-mini design from PADS to a clean 6/8-layer Altium board around the RTL8735BDM is straightforward, but the main detail to get right upfront is power domain isolation so the high-peak Wi-Fi/BT transmit bursts do not inject switching ripple into the DS3231 or the LiFePO4 coulomb counter. I regularly design multilayer controlled-impedance boards in Altium with high-speed USB/SDIO lines, RF module integration, and mixed-signal power routing, delivering complete DFM packages with self-contained libraries. Two quick questions to make sure we're scoping this right: 1. Does the board require an integrated LiFePO4 charge management circuit (via USB input), or will charging be handled externally with only the fuel gauge monitoring on-board? 2. Are there fixed mechanical enclosure constraints or connector placement requirements to match, or are we free to optimize the layout around the full-size SD slot and headers? Happy to review the PADS files and get started on the schematic conversion.

Thank you for sharing the full scope. This is a strong fit for a disciplined PCB design workflow, especially with the migration from the AMB82-mini daughter-board approach to a production-ready RTL8735BDM platform in Altium Designer. I can help recreate the existing design from the PADS source, then extend it cleanly for the DS3231 RTC, LiFePO₄ battery gauging with coulomb counting, SD-card interface, and practical USB/SPI/I²C breakout access for development and field servicing. I will also focus on power-domain integrity, RF-friendly placement around the RTL8735BDM, and a manufacturable stack-up that supports clean ERC/DRC results and standard fabrication constraints. Deliverables can be structured to include the Altium project, multilayer PCB layout, complete fabrication and assembly package, verified BOM with availability review, and a concise design report covering the main layout and test-point decisions. If you already have the PADS files and any preferred mechanical constraints, connector choices, or target board dimensions, I can use those to keep the redesign aligned with your production goals and accelerate the handoff to build-ready status.
