What is the purpose of a PCBA Design for Assembly DFA Review

Design for manufacturing and assembly: DFA&DFM

Product developers understand the challenges involved in creating a market-ready product. Even experienced designers often go through multiple prototype iterations before reaching a mass-production version. Design for X The Design for X (DFX) methodology divides product design into various disciplines, such as Design for Sustainability, Design for Cost, Design for Testing, Design for Manufacture and […]

Wyostat: Open Source Thermostat Pt. 1

Does the world need another connected thermostat? When my thermostat went on the blink last winter, I looked at Nest, and Ecobee, and the other me-too thermostats, and I decided I would rather build my own. If Nest goes out of business (or even more likely, Google decides to go a different direction), all that
