Programmable Decade Resistor: Panels
I was asked a few times how I did the front and rear panels, so this is what I’d like to talk about in this blog. There are different ways to achieve a similar result. For me, the easiest and most cost-effective solution was to just design another PCB - I know how KiCAD works and it does everything I need it to do. The basics Depending on the actual use case you can use a regular FR-4 board. For this project, however, I chose an aluminum PCB. Those only have one copper layer and the prototyping service might specify different process parameters for slot width etc. But other than that it is very similar to designing a regular PCB. ...
