Examples of questions covered in the Live Q&A session on 'Custom vs. Generic Parts':

  1. What are the limits of a generic PCB(A) and what is the right moment to go from generic to customized PCB(A)?
  2. Is it a better idea to buy standard boards that are complete or to make new PCB boards that are custom for my product? Is there any other options?
  3. I understand the limitations of cost and space, but can you tell me about other limitations of development boards?
  4. How do I go about sourcing component manufacturers for my product? Do I need to secure multiple sources?
  5. Can I do production domestically (US, EU, etc.) that makes sense economically? And much, much more!

  • Sarah Fawcett, Global Program Manager for Single Board Computers at Farnell
