💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a value too large for the intended board size.

Confusing width with height.

The board width is set to 50 mm as a standard size for this design.

medium

Complete the code to set the board height variable correctly.

PCB Design

board_height = [1]  // height of the PCB in mm

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Choosing a height smaller than the width.

Using an unrealistic dimension for the board.

The board height is set to 75 mm to match the design specifications.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using addition instead of multiplication.

Using division or subtraction which are incorrect for area calculation.

The area of the board is calculated by multiplying width and height.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to define the board outline as a dictionary with width and height.

PCB Design

board_outline = {'width': [1], 'height': [2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using fixed numbers instead of variables.

Swapping width and height values.

The board outline dictionary uses the variables for width and height to keep dimensions dynamic.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a function that returns the board perimeter.

PCB Design

def board_perimeter([1], [2]):
    return 2 * ([3] + height)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Bheight

Dlength

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using undefined variable 'length'.

Mixing parameter names inside the function body.

The function takes width and height as parameters and returns the perimeter calculated as 2 times the sum of width and height.
