Printed Circuit Design and Construction

Printed Circuit Design and Construction

Learn to design and build printed circuits, commonly found in electronics like radios and computers. Start by drawing your circuit on a copper-coated plastic sheet, protecting it with waterproof ink. Then, use FeCl3 to etch away the exposed copper, leaving behind your desired circuit.
