>the week assignment is to draw a circuitboard and program it to do something >what can you do with it? how is this stuff useful?
>draw a board
>add necessary buttons and leds
>check the design rules, and make it
>read a microcontroller data sheet
>program a board to do something
>seems to be a good idea to have a small, clever transistor/component tester in our lab
>like this one made by some german lads
>get a simple scheme of the board
>generate a design
>it is always good to check first if the idea is even working
>well, it does. let's mill the board as the next step
