How to Test What You cannot yet see – test protocols in printed electronics projects
In many R&D projects, especially in printed electronics, there is a moment when you are expected to test something that does not yet exist. There is no finished component, nothing to physically connect, nothing you can press or measure in a standard way. And yet, decisions must be made, budgets...
