### Step 4: Design, manufacture and installation of a new PCB
After correcting the main problems with the circuit and electronics in general, I set about designing an electrical board to make the portal's operation more reliable and, above all, more professional.
You can have a look at the PCB documentation: [LiHoCo Yard gate PCB v1.0](hardware/PCB)
Once the electronic board was soldered and functional, I removed the prototype and installed the new PCB :

Then I installed the new PCB and here it is! #BrandNew
