Designing a PCB for My Rotary Switch: A Smarter, More Durable Solution

Описание: You told me in a previous video that I should use a PCB for the analog selector switches on the surface grinder control panel. You said the surface-mount resistors I had soldered to the switch would crack, and you said the software wouldn't be able to detect a broken wire. And you were right on all counts. So today I'm making a PCB in Fusion Electronics and making it right.
