We usually see printed circuit boards ( PCBs ) use FR4 ( fiberglass ) as the substrate. There are all kinds of materials that can be used for the substrate but I’ll be taking a look at Aluminum PCBs w...
I have a gradually growing Twitter account for my website to showcase my projects and articles. Most of the time, I forget to check if there is a change in the follower count of my Twitter account to ...
Circuit of AmplifierThe simple circuit design needed to amplify an audio signal collected from a system such as a microphone or an audio signal to be sent out across a speaker/Radio handset receiver, ...

Hi PCB-Designers out there,Only through the use of so-called SMD components all necessary technical elements can be used on a platform with a short amout of surface. //The term SMD means surface-mount...
IntroductionLDOs are used in different types of devices because they play a fundamental role within a circuit. Because they supply specific voltages to microcontrollers, microprocessors, sensors, driv...
PCB's are awesome! They are precision 2D parts made out of a rigid fiberglass material that can have conductive traces of copper placed on the top and bottom, with copper-coated holes to pass through ...
This is the PCB in Altium, that we are exporting. Its an RPI RP2040 Module made for hand soldering in DIY projects.GitHub link at the bottom of the Article:Top ViewBot ViewGo to File->Export->ST...
Leave a comment if you start using Altium based on this article, and let me know what you think!Altium has a huge forum for customer feedback on the product, so if you want anything changed, leave a c...
SpaceWhen you start with a new schematic, you have an empty space and you need to decide how to use it. It depends on many factors like size and complexity of your project, target audience, any standa...
Often you will need to work between programs to make sure all aspects of your design work together. I will show you how to import dxf files into Kicad for designing your PCB and how to export the PCB ...
SMD StencilBefore surface mount components can be mounted on a board, it is necessary to print solder paste on the pads of the PCB.A stencil made of thin stainless steel is used as a screen when print...
3D printing is a technique for layering a three-proportional structure that uses a computer-generated template. 3D printing is an additive method that involves building up layers of material to make a...
