| Introduction: |
| This lab required the design of a PCB (printed circuit board) to continue the line following car project. PCB versions of project circuits can add professionalism to even simple circuits. This lab follows the design and ordering of a PCB circuit. |
| Methods: | Materials: | |
| Tutorials
were
followed in order to learn how to use Eagle PCB. First, a schematic of
a simple capacitor-resistor circuit was designed (figure 1). The
schematic was then transfered to a board (figure 2). The Gerber files
were generated an uploaded to pcbway.com and the files were
confirmed(figure 3). The tutorials then showed the process for creating
new components. The schematic for the line following car wad then
created and transfered to a board (figure4, 5). The line following car
gerber files were uploaded and confirmed by pcbway (figure 6). The car
was built and tested but was found to have major design flaws that kept
it from working at all (figure 7). |
