We live in an exciting time where we see a resurgence in electronics as a hobby. Mass production has wiped out a generation or two of kids learning to build radios from scratch with their mom or dad. In the good old days, not sure when, you had companies like Heathkit walk you through building […]

OK, further to Part 1 of this blog where we created a schematic, now itβs time to move to the PCB. If you still don’t have your license, get a trail from here: Professional PCB design tool | CircuitStudio And some more information from here: https://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-73745?ICID=designctr-devtools-info Open up the project (well, if itβs

The HSP061-8M16 is an 8-channel ESD array with a rail to rail architecture designed specifically for the protection of high speed differential lines. The ultra-low variation of the capacitance ensures very low influence on signal-skew. The large bandwidth and the low reflection make it compatible with 3.4 Gbps. The device is packaged in ΞΌQFN-16L with

In this project we are going to make a PIC based Car Battery Monitoring system on PCB. Here we have designed a PCB using EASYEDA online PCB simulator and designer. This Car Battery Monitoring Circuit is used to monitor the power of Car Battery by just plugging it into the power outlet on the dashboard

I’ve been in the electronics and computing industries ever since I graduated with my BSc from Sheffield Hallam University in the UK back in 1980. Since that time, I’ve designed all sorts of weird and wonderful things (some of which even worked), including my fair share of printed circuit boards (PCBs). I’ve also been associated

Now the PCB kit I used described how I could draw my circuit layouts directly unto the copper clad board using an special pen with etch-resistant ink, however lacking the dexterity of an artist I chose to get myself some CAD software for generating PCB layouts. After a bit of research I decided to go

It has been a while since i posted my Tinker Rule which i made during college days. I received a few requests for the ready to etch pdf which helped me gauge if this seemed to be useful to people. The response was somewhat positive and so, i decided to put in some extra effort

A long while back I posted a version of the schematic for the electronics for my project to build a GPS-steered parachute for rocket recovery. Since then Iβve tweaked the board a bit, to the point where the hardware design is clean and bug-free (as far as I know). So here is the current version

Programmable watch with four character display You’ll be the talk of the town when you wear this obnoxious, oversized, completely impractical wristwatch. Display your favourite foul language, song lyrics, prime numbers, etc. Inspired by the Microreader kit, I decided to make a giant watch using similar sixteen segment displays. Twelve hours later, I came out
