Reflection
This week was frustrating, but I gained many important skills and feel empowered that in a matter of minutes I can design my own PCB board. The most challenging part of this week wasn't actually designing the board, but finding the component libraries. However, I recognize that, as I continue creating boards and documenting my work, I'll have built up a "library of libraries" where I will have many different components and footprints at my fingertips.
