-**== introduction ​==========================================**+===== Paper PCBs, an Introduction  ​=====
  
-For all kind of media installation based on controller and electronic you require ​printed circuit boards. ​To get one someone have to manufacture them. Cause of the industrial standards, that is really complicated, ​it needs some days or weeks and it is expensive, too. Another ​possibility ​is to develop ​them by yourself ​and that means you end up with a lot of dangerous chemicals and have to drill hundreds of holes.+For all kind of media installation based on controller and electronics one requires ​printed circuit boards ​(PCB'​s)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.

-Paperboards or Paper PCBs are a smart way to prevent all that. 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. Paper PCBs is the fastest and the most flexible rapid prototyping system developed by [[http://​wolfgang-spahn.de/​doku.php|Wolfgang Spahn]] since 2008. It is an open hardware system that allows ​you to create ​PCB'​s ​easily. You simply need a drawing program like Gimp, Inkscape ​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 ​colorful ​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 itBecause it also is a modular system you can combine different Paperboards to build 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.
