For the next post in the Creating A PCB series, we’re going to continue our explorations of Eagle. In Part 1, I went over how to create a part from scratch in Eagle. In Part 2, we used this part to ...

This is the continuation of a series where I create a PCB in every software suite imaginable. Last week, I took a look at KiCad, made the schematic representation for a component, and made a schematic ...

Anyone who knows me well will tell you that I am a true ‘do-it-yourselfer’. My father instilled in me at a young age that ‘you can do anything you set your mind to’ attitude. So when I heard that it ...

A printed circuit board (PCB) mechanically supports and electrically connects electronic components using conductive tracks, pads and other features etched from copper sheets laminated onto a ...

Eventually, almost every EE must design a PCB, which isn’t something that’s taught in school. Yet engineers, technicians, and even novice PCB designers can create high-quality PCBs for any and every ...

The quality of the soldering has a tremendous impact on the overall quality of the PCB. Through soldering, different parts of the PCB are connected to other electrical components to make a PCB ...

Having spent years on and off trying to make a pcb using a cnc machine without breaking tool after tool, there was a minor triumph over the weekend (right). The test pcb is still not ‘right’ as an ...

A PCB file is a data file containing a circuit board design, and stands for "Printed Circuit Board." You don't need the program that was used to create the file; several Windows applications with PCB ...
