  • My experience using a PCB fab service

  • One of my goals for my retro 8085 SBC project (https://hackaday.io/project/164087-8085-sbc) was to learn to get a PCB fabricated by Internet order. Perhaps my newbie experiences will give those of who have not tried this yet an idea of what's involved....
  • Would you buy an ultrasonic kit?

  • Best Wireless Communication Protocol

  • So I'm working on an IoT project that needs to be low cost. I need some way for a very basic PIC or some other type of MCU to communicate with a base hub (raspberry pi maybe?). The keys are low power, low data throughput, small PCB footprint, and...

  • Software for inverse parallel kinematic equations

  • Hi, I am looking for some software to help code the inverse kinematics of a parallel robot. I looked at OpenRave but every example is a series robot. I am happy to learn a new language to achieve this, Python seems common. The link is to the...
  • OSI 300 Remake board files?

  • Alternative to HT16K33 for a common-anode bi-color matrix?

  • The bi-color matrices I ordered turned out to be common-anode ones, and not common-cathode as I expected. This means that I can't drive them with the HT16K33 chip as I planned, as it only has 8 cathode pins. I can't even use two such chips to drive the...
  • Spray on clear acrylic coating to protect a PCB

  • I'm thinking of making a project with retro THT ICs and LEDs on a PCB for friends and mounting it unadorned—it's meant to look geeky—in a photo frame like this.
