TAP2 – Lab 5

Complete PCB Design

1. Introduction.

In this experiment, students design the schematic and PCB of a circuit using through-hole components according to the provided schematic layout.

Students then generate Gerber files and Drill files and upload these files to Gerber-Viewer to confirm the files are correct.

2. Objectives.

The objectives of this lab are to:

· Design through-hole components

· Design a board and its outline

· Wire components according to schematics

· Generate Gerber and Drill files

· Upload generated Gerber and Drill files on Gerber-Viewer

3. Equipment/Components/Software.
