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,...

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...

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....

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...

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...

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...

This is a sponsored post discussing about PCB assembly costs factors on Bittele Electronics. Bittele Electronics has developed its pricing schedule based on various factors that determine PCB assembly costs. Some of our customers call us to better understand the factors involved...

SensePeek launched a kickstarter campaign about their PCBite 2.0, a hands free assistance for your electronic measurements. The campaign has 17 days to go, with pledges starting from 30 USD.  Last year we created the flexible and rock solid PCB holder - the end to wobbly circuit...
