Redraw Hello Echo

DESIGN FILES: hello.ftdi.44.traces_LED_BUTTON.PNG hello.ftdi.44.traces_LED_BUTTON.AI

The assignment is to redraw the echo "hello-world board" by adding a button, a LED with a current-limiting resistor.

For this we used Adobe Illustrator to modify the file and add the resistor and LED.By mapping the correct line weights and dimensions of the footprints, we drew our own vector lines and squares to modify the board to suit.

On our conference call Bas picked up a mistake in one of the circuits saving us much time in re-cutting and trouble shooting.

A tip here for if ever you need to use Illustrator to build simple circuts,,, export the PNG with the resolution settings shown below 1269.898 pixels per inch, this took a few attempts to work out why the sizes onto the Modela were incorrect.

and we have a green light!
