This page is about schematics, specificly schematic diagrams of electrical or electronic circuits.
Here's a video introduction that may be useful: https://vimeo.com/90280008
The basic idea in a schematic is that symbols stand in for components, with lines representing wires or connections between them. Many of the symbols you'll see are described here
The schematic describes the electrical part of what we're going to design or talk about - what it does, while abstracting away the physical details - what it looks like. For example, these are all resistors:
When we go from the shematic to pc board layout, we bring back the physical details:
- what shape is the resistor, switch or other component
- what size is it
- where do we put physicaly it in relation to the other components
