Make the PCB from your design – Almost there.

Part 2: Make the PCB from your design – Almost there…

OK, further to Part 1 of this blog where we created a schematic, now it’s 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 it’s […]

PCB layouts using CAD schematic

PCB layouts using CAD

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

Rev 4.2.2 schematic and PCB

Rev 4.2.2 schematic and PCB

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 I’ve 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

Programmable watch with four character display using PIC16F628A microcontroller

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

Logic PCB Business Card

Logic PCB Business Card

About I’ve seen PCB business cards for a few years now on Hackaday, and I figured it was time to design one of my own. Most PCB business cards involve a microcontroller. I wanted to do something a bit different, so my card performs its intended function strictly with digital logic gate and D-type flip-flop
