Partialy Finished Circut

So far on the circut I have almost soldered on 3 wires and 2 terminal blocks - 1 for the 6v battery which powers the circut and 1 for the solar panel which charges the batery. The 3 wires are for the poteniometer

These are some concept sketches of outers for the circut:

Circut Diagram


DTM Week 8

This week I have been working on the PCB board, so we can finish off by adding components to it.
First off I started with a blank PCB and taped the circut diagram over the top off it and drilled holes through the board. Next I joined all the dots using a vivid and put it in an acid bath for 5 minutes

The Problems that occured were that the acid had slightly eaten away at one of the tracks.
