4.Electronics production

Overview

The article summarizes an online lecture focused on electronics production techniques for making custom circuit boards using computerized machining and other methods. It analyzes the pros/cons of breadboards, PCB fabrication with board houses, in-house vinyl cutting and machining processes. The instructor recommends using the Quentaurus development board design for this week's assignment, with options to customize or conserve components. Action items include experimenting with solder paste stencils as an alternative technique, sending a board out for fabrication, and making a custom dev board.
