A Cross Platform and Open Source PCB Design Suite

I wonder what kind of things people use #KiCad design blocks for? So far, I've only used it for some basic power supply designs.

A Cross Platform and Open Source PCB Design Suite

This was a mistake, but it is cool!

Render of PCB, simple, expect no actual PCB, so you see the components, and even the vias, but no PCB or tracks.

#PCB #KiCAD

Work on test board 18 will resume this weekend. While this board will only require 4 layers, the need for blind vias that only visit specific layers was a cost-driver. And not every circuit board manufacturer offers them.

Before Cadence, Protel/Altium, KiCAD etc there was the Mergenthaler Linotype Diagrammer.

It looks like the same technology used in the Linotron phototypesetter that Brian Kernaghan reversed engineered at Bell Labs.

#kicad #linotype

It’s a 2 layer pcb Macintosh II (SE/30) rom simm. 2MB with 4 x PLCC32 th sockets for reprogramming out of board. Yes it’s been done before, but not in a 2 layer pcb or open to the public. So I made one as an exercise to learn about PCB design and Kicad. Will send off to JLCPCB once I’m 100% happy with the layout and optimized the space a bit better. If it works then everything will go up on Codeburg etc. #kicad #macintosh

This is actually quite fun. Figured out how to import graphics into #KiCad onto different layers (and created an ANTIFA whilst doing so).

I also added @cccpresser blobhaj with soldering iron :D It was actually the reason that I did the fedisearch yesterday

Ich dachte eben das ich mal in das weblate von #kicad reinschaue.

Große Schmerzen, es wurden git-dinge übersetzt. Aber auch nur teilweise. Da sind solche Sachen drin wie:
> Konnte den Remote-Zweig nicht lesen.
> Konnte nicht in den Commits für die Zusammenführung nachschauen.

Ja, ich sehe ein das Übersetzung auch was mit accessibility zu tun hat. In diesen Fällen kann ich mir aber nicht vorstellen die Deutschen strings ansatzweise hilfreich sind.

LED Matrix mit MAX7219 und ESP32 ansteuern

Aus der Krabbelkiste zur fertigen Smart-Clock: Wie ein kleines Winterprojekt mit einer Handvoll AliExpress-Modulen und einem ESP32 zur ultimativen LED-Matrix-Uhr “Dottie” heranwuchs.
