8. Electronics Production

This week we were given the opportunity to manufacture the circuit boards we had designed a few week ago. My big takeaway for this week is something that hadn't sunk in the few weeks before. I learned that the schematic is a plan, conceptual and symbolic giving information about how the circuit will function. One cannot expect that the same layout of wiring will be used in the PCB layout. Instead the PCB, is the physical resprentation of EXACTLY how the traces will be layed out, complete with location of the components and how the traces will connect with them.
