- Am I the only person who hates a schematic consisting of 1 connector, 2 IC’s, 4 bypass caps with all of the interconnects being done with net names, and no interconnecting wires?
- Currently working on a design that has multiple boards with cable interconnects
- How do you like to show this?
- Reference Designator?
- Rfdave on slack channel asked a question about this
- Potentiometer board - one board to rule them all
- Using slots to make panel mount “solder lug” potentiometers into pcb mount
- Not a lot of values in each taper is available in a through hole version
- This means a lot less wiring is required.
- EDA schematic and grounding
- Using slots to make panel mount “solder lug” potentiometers into pcb mount
