This volume follows the design flow of a printed circuit board using CAD tools, and shows how to generate Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) files and produce the board yourself, or send the files to a service bureau to have them made. It discusses how to build smaller prototypes to accomodate ever-shrinking devices. It then shows you how to use it in conjunction with the PIC Microcontroller on practical projects.
