# Developement
This part containts developement milestones with accompaning documents. 

## 1. Technical requirements
The technical requirements for O-ESD hardware are summarized along with review of multiple ESD guns available on the market. Technical specifications of hardware on the market are compared to the specification from IEC61000-4-2 standard.<br>

## 2. Schematics and considered realizations of high-voltage generator for O-ESD 
Various approaches considered as possible solutions for O-ESD are given along with the schematics in LTspice program. <br>

## 3. Trade-offs and cost-benefit analysis of considered solutions
The cost-benefit analysis of considered solutions is done by taking into the account the availability of electronic components on website of online distributors of electronic components. The understood trade-offs for considered solutions are given.<br>

## 4. Design and prototype printed-circuit boards for all candidate solutions
All considered solutions are prototyped. Since some candidate solutions share some components or parts, PCBs/protypes are made for functional parts that can be mixed and matched between O-ESD solutions. For all considered parts that have PCB, gerber and drill files (needed for the production) are given. The photos of prototypes, functional parts and considered components are provided, too.
