Networking and Communications

This week we're looking at producing a few boards, and then networking these together through serial communication. After that, the boards will be programmed so that they can be addressed from a computer through the main Bus board. I started out by loading up the traces into the Fab Modules and send them off to the Modela. After the board was milled, I soldered the parts onto it.
