How to Make Circuits in the Fab Lab

top level page for circuits

Making a circuit requires several mini-projects:

Decide what function your circuit board should have

• download a cad file from the hello-world circuits section on the http://fab.cba.mit.edu/about/fab/ or from hello world electronics
• Or design custom circuit

create the schematic and board layout in a CAD program

Use e.g. Eagle or Cad.py, ,or Gimp or draw it and scan

1. physically milling or cutting out the board which connects components
   1. Making circuit boards on Modela
   2. Making circuit boards on Camm
2. make a programming cable
3. programming the microcontroller
