#### Introduction
This week is about learning to fabricate a PCB, not necessarily design it. There a some different options of in-system programmers in the [FabAcademy notes](http://academy.cba.mit.edu/classes/embedded_programming/index.html#programmers). In the AVR family, there are boards based on the the ATtiny45, ATtiny44 and ATmega16U2.

Next, these png images need to be converted to tool-paths for CNC machines to follow. [Fabmodules](http://fabmodules.org/) and [Mods](http://mods.cba.mit.edu/) both, developed by the Fab community can be used to make the tool-paths. They run in the browser.
But it shows me unclear toolpaths with default settings, for both the traces and the outlines. With random dots being detected arounf the traces.

##### Installing software packages
To program the board, there a steps you need to follow to install the development environment first. I follow the steps from [this tutorial](http://fab.academany.org/2020/labs/uae/students/fatima-alhashmi/week5/week5.html) and [this guide](./images/ep/avr_steps.pdf).
