In the beginning, during the prototyping stages, I tend to rely on the prototyping breadboards a lot. These breadboards are essential because they would be the basis on how the actual PCB would be designed from. 1. Translating the circuit onto the breadboard. When I draw up a circuit on paper, it was fun. To […]
