This week's goal was to create our very own electronic circuit board, which ultimately can be used to program other boards! Exciting.
3. Design
The design was essentially given to us as we were told the greatest challenge to overcome is actually making the board, learning the design process is easy. I sincerely hope this to be true, as I am quite daunted by the seeming complexity, but am happy to say I've mastered the skills in making one of these AVR boards, and can't wait to unveil the mystery in designing my own circuit board! This one we were given was Brian's latest improvement on a multi-year-long search within this class to further finesse and optimize this board to it's finest essence of simplicity while retaining it's full functionality.
