The Ben Heck Show

Hex Game: Breadboard and PCB Design (1) (7x38)

Air date: Oct 20, 2017

The team might be onto something here, while the logic gate boardgame had its issues the Hex Game is a lot more fun, and part of the fun is learning to solder! Ben and Felix plan to turn the Hex Game into a kit which could teach how to solder and learn binary or hexadecimal arithmetic. Using Autodesk Eagle, Ben designs a printed circuit board and discusses whether a lipo or AA batteries are better to power it. How can the team keep it simple while keeping it functional?
