The always-great Jon Titus has a nice article in ECN magazine about circuit board mills. I mentioned these machines in my recent cover story about prototyping, but I did not go into the detail Jon ...

I got a cute sample from Schmartboard. They make little circuit boards that have long strips on them so you can solder SOICs down and then wire up the chip with a combination of jumpers and ...

Save time if you build a prototype with microcontroller and LCD. Because at least a part of such a circuit is the same you can often use the same PCB. Because I wanted to build a timer with a ...

In designing and prototyping electronic circuit boards there is no quick or simple way to produce results. Many hours of design and development need to be expended on prototype layouts along with ...

The RPi Prototyping Board is a simple board, designed to break-out the expansion signals from the Raspberry Pi board and provide additional power for any circuit built in the prototyping area. The RPi ...

Digging through boxes of the prototype circuits that Bob Pease had amassed over the years proved to be a fun time for all involved. 1. Texas Instruments application engineer Paul Grohe holds up an ...

Every few months some new gadget comes along that’s faster, offers better battery life, or finds another way to make the phone, tablet, or PC sitting on your desk look boring. While it’s pretty nifty ...
