PCBGrade
Terms of use
PCBGrade is a practice platform for PCB engineering. Using it means you accept the limits below.
What a score is
A score is the server’s measurement of the design you submitted against the published rules for that challenge. It is not a university grade unless your instructor chooses to use it, not a fabrication sign-off, and not a claim that a board will pass electromagnetic, safety, or manufacturing qualification. Many valid layouts can pass. Scores come from deterministic engineering measurements.
Interview preparation
Interview Mode uses the same challenges and the same measurements, with hints off. It practices the reasoning hardware interviews ask for. It is not a set of questions from a particular employer.
Uploads
You may upload a board file you have the right to share. Analyze accepts the formats listed on that page and refuses the ones it names. Do not upload a file that contains secrets you cannot share with the person who operates this site: the bytes are parsed in the request and discarded, but they do travel to the server. Uploaded files are not executed.
Accounts and classes
You are responsible for the activity under your account. An instructor who redeems an access code can create a class and see the scores of students who join it. Do not share a join code outside the class you intend to teach.
Availability
The service can change, and a preview deployment is not a promise of a permanent record. Drafts and submissions stay in this site’s database until the person who operates the site removes them.
