Step 1. Schematic Bullet List Plan
best practices, fine print…
Some example areas:
Develop Engineering Specifications from your general specifications table
Start at the interfaces, then drill down.
List Interface Devices
List ALL inputs and outputs
Research dynamics for electronic devices
I2C, RS232, 24 VDC motor @ 20 amps, MSP430.
Can you sketch the internal device electronics at the interfaces to complete a circuit diagram?
Detailed Design Review readiness: don’t stop at the board’s edge! Scan or copy key pages from the
manufacturer’s specifications sheets.
Don’t forget the “simple” stuff!
Power On/Off switch?, reset and safety switches, function select switch
Add Connectors, cables, harnesses!
test points – you will thank me later!
LEDs (more is better)
JTag, USB, RS232, (may not need the form factor)
accessory power connectors
