should focus on at this stage is really how to use the most important commands of the
software.
The first thing we are going to do is create the schematics of our project. This means

project.
You will also need to draw connections between the different parts of the system. This can

I placed and connected all the components that I had in the previous section of the project.
I also added some connectors (to get access to the pins of the microcontroller, like on the
