Hello I'm currently working on a schematic that allows you to test different parts on one board and I want to add a little power supply feature to it.
What worries me since the board will be fully exposed as for it's prototype stages and even final version, I was thinking it maybe safe to add 2x 1 amp fuses encase something causes the board to short circuit.
One fuse on the positive side of where the circuit board will get it's power from the 12v power adapter. Then one on the positive out for the power supply feature.
Also I would like to add encase you think I'm going to allow the board sit on the floor, it will have rubber bases on the corners of it and middle to keep the circuit board from touching the floor. (Just like the good old PicKit 1 )
Is it kinda a over kill adding fuses or is there other options I can do too keep my circuit "safe"?
Thanks, Andrew.
