Overview
The Technology section features information common to all
projects, such as hardware vendors and helpful design and building
techniques.
PCB
A PCB, or Printed Circuit Board, offers a number of advantages over wire
wrapped or perf board assembly. The PCB allows the use of fine
pitch, surface mount components, a smaller footprint, more rugged assembly, and a
more professional final product that can be duplicated. A practical,
step-by-step guide to creating PCBs is provided.
Power

projects. A set of schematics and ideas on how to create an efficient
DC - DC converter.
