Working on some examples of basic PCB things you can make with CircuitPainter- here's a command line perf board generator: https://github.com/Blinkinlabs/circuitpainter/blob/main/examples/perfboard.py
We designed a stencil placement jig for large, high-density solderpaste application. The boards are half a meter long, with 0402 and QFN parts along them. Got through the whole prototype run with zero defects!
We value your package, but we might break it if you don't pay us extra for insurance.
Protip: adding a crowbar to your design can help protect it against power issues.
Saw some neat stuff at Prolight+sound Frankfurt this week. It's always funny to watch club light show demos while drinking coffee and talking business.
Hide your terrible hole cutting skills with your digital fabrication skills
Looking at the RF currents on the power line from a digital LED panel. The noise from the PWM switching is all sub-5MHz, and noise from the communication bus / internal state updates runs from 1MHz to 100MHz. The measurement numbers were not corrected and are only useful for relative comparisons.
The simulation seems to suggest that there is just enough headroom to include series resistors in this branching I2C network
Ok this new voltage source preview window is almost worth the Altium maintenance cost.
