- | For all kind of media installation based on controller and electronics one requires printed circuit boards. It can be quite a task to get the perfect one that matches your needs. Due to industrial standards it takes some time and money to get them manufactured. Another option is to create them by yourself, but most likely you'll end up with a lot of dangerous chemicals and find yourself drilling hundreds of holes. | + | For all kind of media installation based on controller and electronics one requires printed circuit boards (PCB's).

- | Paperboards or Paper PCBs are a smart way to avoid this. It is an open hardware system that helps you to create easily PCBs. You can design and modify them on your computer with a drawing program like Gimp or Photoshop. And after printing you just stick the printed circuit on a standard protoboard (available at every electronic shop) and voila you have a proper and solid printed PCB. The system allows you to have an individual, colourful design, too. | + | Paperboards or Paper-PCBs are a smart way to avoid the trouble. They are an open hardware system that allows you to create PCB's easily. You simply need a drawing program like Gimp or Photoshop to design or modify them on your computer (Fritzing will also do). Just print it and stick the printed circuit on a standard protoboard (available at every electronic shop) and voilà - there is your proper PCB. The system allows you to get an individual colourful design, too. |

- | It is a perfect extension to the Arduino system and at the same time it is so powerful that you can create your own Paperduino with it. Because it also is a modular system you can combine different Paperboards to create real complex machines. | + | One can use Paper-PCB's as a perfect extension to the Arduino system. Furthermore you can also use them to create your own Paperduino. Paper-PCB's provide a modular system that allows you to combine different Paperboards to create real complex machines. |
