The Component Schematic Symbols and Designators page was updated. The mobile unfriendly one-big-table design was removed in favour of separate sections for each component and designator/schematic symbol. Some of the symbols were also updated using InkScape.
The PCB Design Tools section of the main PCB Design page was moved onto it’s own PCB Design Tools page.
All section on the main PCB Design page regarding PCB layers were moved into their own new PCB Layers page.
Big updates to the Convolution page, including the addition of a worked example where the convolution of two box-car functions is calculated.
An animated .gif showing the convolution of two box-car functions. The value of the convolution function at any time t (bottom line in red) is the amount area shown in red in the middle plot, which is the area under the curve of f(t)g(t) (the two waveforms multiplied together).
