Sep 1, 2025September 2025 monthly summary for ISS-PCB (repo: ISSUIUC/ISS-PCB). Focused on PCB symbol library quality and cross-board integration groundwork. Key outcomes include consolidated symbol library enhancements: added new symbol files, standardized symbol formatting, removed outdated symbols, updated optocoupler symbol definitions, and initiated symbol library integration in the Switch Board schematic. These changes reduce symbol drift, improve design reuse, and accelerate schematic authoring and PCB handoff as we prepare for full Switch Board integration.
