It’s not too hard to make your electronics project get warm. Design your traces too small, accidentally short the battery inputs together, maybe reverse the voltage going to your MCU. We’ve all cooked ...

A printed circuit board (PCB) mechanically supports and electrically connects electronic components using conductive tracks, pads and other features etched from copper sheets laminated onto a ...

For a lot of reasons, home etching of PCBs is somewhat of a dying art. The main reason is the rise of quick-turn PCB fabrication services, of course; when you can send your Gerbers off and receive ...

The Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is what connects and holds together all electronic components. Designing electronics is very complex, but we’ve put together the most common mistakes to avoid that ...

In this project, I'll make a small circuit capable of controlling a servo, it is a servo tester made out of a 555 timer IC. In the process of making this circuit, we'll make a pcb design for it. This ...

Best practices to follow for your next PCB assembly project. Helpful guidelines and instructions for robust PCB assembly. Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are the foundation of every electronic device.

Making airplanes with foam board is really handy since this material is very cheap, easy to work with, and durable. It's the same material the channel Flite Test uses in their builds. I recently tried ...
