The board was a semester long project in which each student designed a board layout. The class then voted on the layout they liked the most and the winning layout was sent to a board house to have one made for each student.</p> <!-- more --> <h2 id="overview">Overview</h2> <p>We first breadboarded the basic layout needed to run the PIC32 microcontroller in a previous lab. A design with more features than this was a requirement for us to send the board to the board house. A valid design had to be able to fit in to a 3” by 5” clear case. The project had four feature levels that each student could choose from to use.</p>
