A Pinball Machine That Plays Itself.
A pinball machine that is able to play itself, it’s as simple as that. Well, I say it’s simple, it’s actually extremely complicated. This was a four-person team project with some of my fellow graduati...
MicroCare Circuit Board Cleaners Make Improved Down-Hole Logging Tools Possible
The evolution of "smart" drilling, with advanced electronics being widely adapted for down-hole logging, has advanced enormously over the past 40 years. With this has come the problem of cleaning the ...
Scientists develop new circuit board modeled on human brain
The Neurogrid circuit board can simulate orders of magnitude more neurons and synapses than other brain mimics on the power it takes to run a tablet computer. Stanford scientists have developed a new...
Circuit Board 'Brain': Are We Ready for 'Transcendence'?
Bioengineers at Stanford University have modeled a circuit board after the human brain. There is still a long way to go before it will be as big, powerful, and efficient as an actual brain, but it's s...
Cleaning the Blank PCB helps to Prevent Defects
Before it can be used, the blank circuit board must be clean. Immaculately clean. No dust, or fingerprints, or specks of oil, and no oxide layer. It is best to do this immediately before making the ci...
What Is a Solderless Circuit Board?
Solderless circuit boards are excellent ways of testing designs for appliances and circuits. They do not require many tools or solder so you can use a solderless circuit board over and over again. Sol...
How to Recover Scrap Gold From Circuit Boards
There is as much as 1 oz. of gold in every ton of scrap circuit boards from older computers and electronics that have been discarded. Obtaining this gold is a matter of separating the gold bearing mat...
How to Read Transistors on a Circuit Board
Transistors come in different styles, and all differ; the most common two types are PNP and NPN. The circuit board labels the emitter, collector and base; also known as the ECB. After you know how to ...
How to Make a Circuit Board
circuit boards have enabled electronics to leap forward in terms of complexity and consumer convenience. The simple sheet of non-conducting material with thin copper tracks etched onto one surface did...
Circuit Board Tools
There are two types of tools that can be used to create and repair circuit boards: soldering tools and hand tools. Circuit boards require their own tools mainly due to the size of most circuit boards....
Identifying the Source of PCB Corrosion
Being able to determine the cause of corrosion on a printed circuit board assembly will allow you to be able to both clean up the corrosion and prevent further issues from arising. Contamination can b...
Printed Circuit Board Gold Recovery Facts
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, obsolete computers contain considerable amounts of recoverable materials, including gold from their circuit boards. In fact, one ton of computer scrap contains...
How to Remove Components From a Circuit Board
Electronic circuit boards contain individual components soldered onto them which work with each other to regulate and to manipulate the flow of electricity. If any of the individual components wear ou...
How to Dismantle a Circuit Board
A circuit board has interconnecting electronic components that have been mounted to it. Circuit boards are found in electronic devices such as computers, phones and gaming systems. There are a few kin...
Circuit Board Infrared Inspection Techniques
Infrared inspection of printed circuit boards (PCBs) uses heat that is emitted. This requires the presence of some current. Infrared inspection can provide information not available from optical inspe...
PCB Metal Core Heat Characteristics
Electronic components can overheat. Whether the components are in a cell phone, computer or e-reader, any electronic equipment that has a circuit board generates heat and needs a way to draw that heat...
Advanced Circuits' Bare Board Electrical Testing Capabilities
We currently have two different types of testing equipment available to test your circuit boards; we have a number of Everett Charles ATG test machines that are flying probe, fixtureless testers and w...
How to Mount a Circuit Board in an Electronic Project Box
printed circuit boards are sheets of fiberglass or other material embedded with electrical conductors. Conductive pads allow electrical components to be soldered in place. circuit boards are found in ...
How to Replace Parts on a Circuit Board
Many problems that circuit boards have may be repaired by replacing defective parts. You do not have to be an electronics engineer to remove and replace bad parts. Parts that commonly need to be repla...
How to Mount a Circuit Board
Mounting an electronic circuit board requires precision, skill with hand tools, patience and a working knowledge of the circuit to be mounted. Results may vary. Safety is the responsibility of the ind...
