Out of curiosity, I redrew the Supercon Vectorscope badge schematics in KiCad last year. As you might suspect, going from PCB to schematic is opposite to the normal design flow of KiCad and most other ...

Bringing a modern PCB design together into reality is often the real test. The third part of this series offers practical ...

Eventually, almost every EE must design a PCB, which isn’t something that’s taught in school. Yet engineers, technicians, and even novice PCB designers can create high-quality PCBs for any and every ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Isn’t a Maker-Pro very similar to a hobbyist? Yes, but Maker-Pros set themselves apart by trying to capitalize on their ...

Promoted content: PCBWay, a leading manufacturer and assembler of high-quality printed circuit boards (PCBs), is proud to announce its latest innovation - the KiCad plugin. This plugin is designed to ...

• A flexible printed circuit is as much a mechanical device as it is an electrical device. • The neutral bend axis may not be in the exact middle of the material stack. • The reliability of flexible ...

Circuits that carry femtoamperes of current have many subtleties that you wouldn’t normally consider in the design and layout of conventional circuitry. If you overlook these subtleties, the circuit ...

Like all new technologies, it took a while for engineers to accept and promote the PCB. In the 1960s, Zeneth used to brag about using point-to-point wiring (Figure 1). Now everything is done with a ...
