Reference Designs
“Industry-grade DIY Projects”—that’s perhaps the best way to describe what Reference Designs are. Or, you can define them as “complete, tested blueprints and working models for a specific electronic device or system.”
In this section, we have found and shared 100s of such blueprints, which enable engineers and DIYers like yourself to save significant time and resources in designing new products since they provide everything you need to get started including: schematics, software, PCB layout files, and BoM!
