Week 08 — Electronics Production

Group assignment

Characterize the design rules for your in-house PCB production process: document the settings for your machine.

Document the workflow for sending a PCB to a boardhouse

Document your work to the group work page and reflect on your individual page what you learned

Individual assignment

Make and test a microcontroller development board that you designed

Learning outcomes

Describe the process of tool-path generation, milling/laser engraving, stuffing, de-bugging and programming

Demonstrate correct workflows and identify areas for improvement if required
