Castellated PCB edges are kind of magical. The plated semicircular features are a way to make a solid, low-profile connection from one board to another, and the way solder flows into them is deeply ...

Have you ever found yourself staring at a tangle of wires, wishing there was an easier way to bring your electronics project to life? If you’ve dabbled in DIY electronics, you know that creating ...

This DIY 6-DOF robot arm project details a two-year build cycle using 3D printed parts, custom electronics, and over 5,000 ...

Out of curiosity, I redrew the Supercon Vectorscope badge schematics in KiCad last year. As you might suspect, going from PCB to schematic is opposite to the normal design flow of KiCad and most other ...

Many folks have bench type LCR meters available and employ the usual general purpose Kelvin type clips or direct connect fixtures for most measurements. When encountering SMD components these ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. In the development of SoC-based (system-on-chip) circuit boards, the SoC’s additional capabilities will provide ...

The connection between mechanical and electrical concepts How to fit many components into a limited space. Proper communication is necessary when creating products in a team with diverse backgrounds.

This is the first of several articles in the PCB Design Best Practices series, which discusses the different steps of PCB development from the basics of creating a design schematic with specific ...
