more board stuff!

So we started with a schematic, made our etch and then proceeded to Sharpie it out on a real board. Then we used the chemical (Fe2Cl3) to etch away the copper and leave behind our trace. From there, we used a drill press to drill holes into the board. From there, we started putting in the components based on the board we designed and then finally, we will test it to see whether it works.
We just got to the part where we are putting in components today. Then s0ldering and then testing.
This is the first of our boards in progress...


So the trace becomes the underside of the board where you do the s0ldering. This is with the coppper, which was washed away by a mixture of the chemical and some hot water to hasten the process


The side of the board with the components; trace is below. Holes made with drill press
