README: PCB & Analog Forum
Forums are designed to help DevHeads community members come to quick resolution on a variety of systems integration topics. These differ from the #seeking-collabs (find a professional dev who can help build your project) and #projects-and-self-promotion (show off your design accomplishments) sections.
The #pcb-and-analog forum facilitates information exchange around the electronic hardware disciplines listed below, expressed in tags. DevHeads is a professional engineering community, but if you're just getting started in a field use the "Getting started" tag.
When creating or searching for a post, we recommend using multiple tags to make it easier for other devs to navigate and find specific topics. These tags are visible in the upper left of each #pcb-and-analog post: ...
