Is this really how beginners design boards??? | Schematic Review

    <div class="blog-content">
        Why? Helps during assembly. Can prevent placement issues during PCB design (e.g. too close, wrong rotation,…)
    </div>
</div>


TIP #041: Add more information on silkscreen of some components (connectors, slots, …)

    <div class="jetpack-video-wrapper"><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hv2Zdr1qaig" class="youtube-player" width="740" height="416.418" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></span>
    </div>
    <div class="blog-content">
        Why? You see directly and clearly from your schematic how the pins can be used.
    </div>
</div>


TIP #043: When you create a schematic symbol, list all pin alternate functions

    <div class="blog-content">
        Why? Very often this is used during board assembly and it is very useful during debugging.
