Assignment Week 06

  • group assignment:
    • use the test equipment in your lab to observe the operation of a microcontroller circuit board
  • individual assignment:
    • redraw the echo hello-world board,
    • add (at least) a button and LED (with current-limiting resistor)
    • check the design rules, make it, and test it
    • extra credit: measure its operation
    • extra extra credit: simulate its operation

Learning outcome

  • Select and use software for circuit board design.
  • Demonstrate workflows used in circuit board design.

Student should have

  • Shown your process using words/images/screenshots.
  • Explained problems and how you fixed them, including how you worked with design rules for milling (DRC in EagleCad and KiCad).
  • Included original design files (Eagle, KiCad, Inkscape, .cad - whatever).
