Have you ever had problems with your PCB designs and had to remake any of them after having the "final" prototype in your hand? If you are one of these non-human geniuses that made only masterpiece-like, immaculate PCBs, please, throw the first stone. As we are not, and had to perform...

PCB design guide for an inverted-F 2.4 GHz antenna from Silicon Labs. One of the main reasons to use a PCB antenna is to reduce cost. Since the antennas are printed directly on the board, they are generally considered to be free. On boards with room to spare, this will be true. On...

Printed circuit boards make the creation of electronic devices in a repeatable and reliable manner a possibility. However, due to factors such as long turnaround time, cost, and other challenges associated with making PCBs through established fab houses, electronics hobbyists and...

Good news! Seeed Studio is now including the highly acclaimed Design for Assembly (DFA) review with every PCBA order – 100% free! They say “No prices have been hiked up or additional fees squeezed in anywhere, go ahead, check. We simply cannot understate the value of this service,...

In Sayanee's Basu's video, we can look at the design considerations in the process of taking a breadboard prototype to a custom PCB, from the microcontroller to the various subsystems, to the power, the bootloader, and even how to deal with faulty components. A breadboard can be...

Laser direct structuring (LDS) is a special success story. For almost 20 years, it has been possible to apply electronic conductor paths directly onto plastic parts during series production. Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) - The structure of the conductor path is applied using the LDS...

A new crowd supply campaign has been launched for the Vapor Phase One, which is the industry’s most dynamic PCB soldering method available now to hobbyists and development engineers alike. Compared to infrared and conventional soldering, the vapor phase process works perfectly at...

Nordic Semiconductor has announced the nRF52805, which is a microcontroller from the NRF52 series of microcontrollers. Measuring at just 2.48 x 2.46mm, the nRF52805 is the smallest of all the nRF52 series. Despite its small size, the nRF52805 System-on-Chip (SoC) top up the...
