Lab2: Making a circuit

Introduction

Circuits can be made in many different ways. During class we've seen:

  • breadboard[1]
  • dead bug style[2]
  • wire wrapping[3]
  • prototype board (e.g. perfboard or stripboard)[4]
  • volumetric circuits[5][6]
  • Etching a Printed Circuit Board (PCB)[7][8].

There are still other ways of making circuits, for example using the vinyl cutter to cut copper traces, using conductive fabric, etc. A nice overview of other alternative methods you can find at the great website of KobaKant: How To Get What You Want. Besides a lot of other interesting stuff (browse through it!!) the traces making sections you can find here: Kobakant section on Traces.

It is even possible to (almost) entirely knit your circuit: The Knitted Radio, Drapery FM.
