Quick intro. My interests are Z80/68000 (all flavours and speeds) 68B09 and now just cutting my teeth on Xilink / Altera programming.There's lots of Z80 boards here and some great projects that have come to fruition on Tindie. Retro computing isn't dead,...
From @MakersBox:An “Unfortunate” SMD ProjectIf you like happy, easy to build projects, this is not for you. This is only for people who like to grind their teeth and pull out hair.Here’s a video of the board in operation:
The main purpose of flexible PCB is to diminish the use of cables as well as connectors from various electrical devices. In this way, it also proliferates the reliability of the electronic system and helps us to reduce cost by the means of saving...
I engaged in some serious whiteboard tangenting last night on the subject of artificial muscles. Keep reading if you're bored as hell; this is a long-winded post.I also took a bunch of close-up pictures, most of which ended up pretty blurry. My D40 never...

Kris Winer writes on Maker.io about his new design:ESP8285 Development BoardThis is a small development board for the ESP8285 (ESP8266 plus 1 Mbyte embedded SPI flash memory) which includes an FTDIFT230X USB-to-serial converter so Arduino programs can...
Yes, it is broken. Step One is to accept this fact:Above: a $5 Linux computer that uses 2mm header pins, meaning it requires a $10 - $15 dock to use.Step Two is to bitch about the problem on Hack Chat (you have to scroll back a few weeks to see the post)....
Billed as an upgradable smartphone-controller car chassis kit, the Totem 2WD Car Kit does exactly what it says; it is a small kit featuring a Bluetooth-compatible board and a companion app to control it. Despite its size the kit comes with everything...
If you like electronics, are a professional, or simply an professional stage electronics tinkerer, then you`ve possibly examine all approximately processing PCBs. Manufacturing your precise PCB may be a completely exertions in depth and problematic craft...
While working long hours wishing for some time to tinker again, I was shopping a lot of stuff the last two or three months. So once again I will compile a list of projects I might tackle in the future. This list is also for me because I forget things...
The Atari 5200 controllers are well known by its low reliability. Many alternatives to the original controllers have rose along the time from when the sytem was being sold on stores up to present days when it is possible to find adapters being...
Arduino is a fantastic platform for anyone who wants to get started with programming and electronics. With so many different boards available, it can be difficult to know which one to choose. In this post, we’ll explore the different types of Arduino...
There is no such difference between aluminum and other PCB. All of these circuit boards have the same type of layout, but this circuit system uses various copper layers along with the solder mask. Furthermore, it also adds a silkscreen layer over these...
