Audio Electronics Game Integration
In this project, I was required to design a speaker circuit and implement it into a creative design. After designing the circuit, I used it to create a custom version of the "Operation" board game. The circuit was developed using copper clad board, Ilfosol 3 film developer, Ferric Chloride hexahydrate, and a UV exposure machine.
