May 2019 Updates

• 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).
