If we need to make changes to our boards we can talk about that as a part of the design process. We will spend the second 6 hour session assembling and testing our boards. Class 2īy the time we meet for our second session we should have taken delivery of our shiny new PCBs and our parts order should have long since been delivered from the distributor (Mouser is more or less an hour drive from the Dallas Makerspace, not that we’ll pick the parts up at will-call for this project, but it’s nice to have the option). Since this is only 6 hours worth of class time and we need to have boards and parts ordered when we leave we won’t be getting too complicated with our design. So class number 1 is a crash course in Eagle schematic capture and PCB layout. We can do that if we want, you can’t stop us. Maybe we add some terminal blocks instead of DuPont headers or perhaps we want a real time clock and a slide potentiometer on the board. We won’t be making an Arduino clone part-for-part but taking the Arduino idea and making it our own custom board. This is something common enough that everyone will know what it is (an Arduino is an AVR development board, just in case my mom is reading this). For example: our first project will be an AVR development board. In our first 6 hour session we’ll take a basic, high-level idea and work our way down.
