# Lecture Notes ## Wednesday Neil Ribbon cable - Use this instead of loose pins Wire is specified by AWG You can search AWG vs Current Connectors EDA (Electronic design automation) ### How 2 pcb First start sketching on paper then create a schematic then place components then route wires simulation? fabrication ### EDA 0 Ohm resistor to create bridges on one layer boards DRC (Design rules check) KiCad - One of the best pcb design softwares. Biggest limitation they are seperate programs SnapMagic, To get footprints into kicad schemtic -> pcb tool to lay out your schemtic physicaly Fabrication toolkit for KiCad Eagle is build into fusion. https://componentsearchengine.com https://libary.io Don't forgot an LED ### Test equipment Multimeter Osciliscoop Logic Analyser ### Assignemnt Group: Use test equipment to look a test equipment. Check voltage Check noise using Osciliscope Logic analyser to decode what its doing Individual: Use a EDA tool to design a development board. Extra: Simulate it. Extra: Design a case for it.kicad
