33_Development Breakout PCB's
After Mr. Plybon walked me through the process of creating PCB’s with the Protomat S63, I was able to make a pinout PCB for each of the components we ordered for early prototyping (dsPIC, ADC, H-Bridges, Regulators). The pinout PCB for the dsPIC33 is shown in Figure 1. This will allow me to connect our dsPIC to a programmer so we can run some basic code on it.

In the first attempt to make the dsPIC pinout board, some of the milling heads were sized wrong, and the finished board had bad drill holes and rubout areas (Fig. 2).
