PCB Board Design
May 2023 - Jul 2023
A printed circuit board design project involving schematic development, component placement, routing, and design-rule validation.

Project Overview
What I built
The PCB Board Design project provided practical exposure to the workflow involved in converting an electronic circuit concept into a structured printed circuit board layout.
Challenge
The problem I needed to solve
Components needed to be positioned and electrically routed while respecting board-design constraints and maintaining a layout suitable for physical manufacturing.
Approach
How I approached it
Using EAGLE, I developed the schematic, arranged components on the board, routed electrical connections, and performed design-rule checks to identify layout problems before finalising the design.
Implementation
Key implementation details
- Created electronic schematics using EAGLE CAD.
- Designed PCB component placement and board layout.
- Routed electrical connections between components.
- Applied design-rule validation to identify PCB layout issues.
