EAGLE 8.7 – Parametric 2D & 3D model generation, library.io, more!
https://www.electronics-lab.com/eagle-8-7-parametric-2d-3d-model-generation-library-io/
Today we’re proud to announce the release of EAGLE 8.7 and what is quite possibly one of the biggest releases we’ve had to-date, this time focused (largely) on libraries and library development (and what that means for 3D modeling of your finished PCB)! But before we get into it, let me share a thought — […]

Digi-Key Electronics has announced that it is in beta release of a library containing almost 1,000 common parts for the open-source KiCad schematic capture and PCB tool. By Ally Winning @ eenewsembedded.com: The library will be hosted on the Digi-Key website. It was built after Digi-Key analyzed the top 1,000 parts that KiCad users would […]
PCB Motor – A smaller and cheaper brushless motor.
https://www.electronics-lab.com/pcb-motor-smaller-cheaper-brushless-motor/
by Carl Bugeja @ hackaday.io designed a brushless motor using a 3D printer and a 4-layer PCB. He writes: The PCB motor is my solution for trying to design a smaller, cheaper and easier to assemble brushless motor. The motor’s stator is a 6 spiral PCB coil in a star configuration. Although it has less […]
MetCal Connection Validation – The Next Generation of Soldering
https://www.electronics-lab.com/metcal-connection-validation-next-generation-soldering/
Making solid connections between electrical components on a board is an important part of many hardware projects. A good solder joint forms an alloy at the surface of the PCB and the component lead. During soldering, a solder connection on a circuit board can quickly turn into a real nightmare if not caught immediately, ending […]
Printed circuit board manufacturer – JLCPCB Review
https://www.electronics-lab.com/printed-circuit-board-manufacturer-jlcpcb-review/
Recently, I had the opportunity to test the printed circuit boards (PCB) offered by JLCPCB. These tests were made in two different boards of the brand and here I’ll report my impressions about them. Due to the spread of the maker culture and the do-it-yourself (DIY) and easy access to components and a huge amount […]
Researchers Develop New Technique To Print Flexible Self-healing Circuits For Wearable Devices
https://www.electronics-lab.com/70869-2/
The researchers of North Carolina State University in the US, lead by Jingyan Dong, have developed a new technique for directly printing flexible, stretchable metal circuits. The innovative technique can be used with multiple metals and alloys. It is also compatible with existing manufacturing systems which can integrate this new printing technology effortlessly. The technique uses the well known electrohydrodynamic printing […]
