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)

First start sketching on paper

then create a schematic

then place components

then route wires

simulation?

fabrication

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.

Don't forgot an LED

Multimeter Osciliscoop Logic Analyser

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
