With Part-DB 2.8 you can now create parts directly from barcodes.
If you order parts from #digikey, #mouser, #lcsc or Amazon, and they don't exist in your database yet, you can just scan the distributor barcode, and Part-DB will fetch all relevant Infos like descriptions, parameters, data sheets, prices, etc. from the distributor, and offer to create a new part based on that.

My smallscale reliability test for the good old watertight #DS18B20 temperature probes. I am comparing 4 different ones. All are being plotted into #InfluxDB. Let's see which survive and which are outliers. I'll report back in a week or so.

I've ordered way too many components from #lcsc and #mouser for a frew projects. I also unlocked an achievement:

First full component reel ordered (just some resistors)

But now, I'll have to play the waiting game: 2-3 weeks, but that's how it works. Let's just hope that the order from LCSC doesn't arrive in Germany, but rather any other EU country. PCBs from #JLCPCB are also on their way (soon, after thy will be produced)

#electronics

#lcsc component search and filters do not take the unit prefixes into account, like milli, Mega, etc.

tested for you.

two values, ten components.
10MR instead of 10R.
50mR instead of 50R.

The RP2350A is feeling a bit more real today as I have cut tape in my hands (from #LCSC). Now I just need to find the board I designed for them back in September 😆 .

#RP2350 #RP2350A #RaspberryPi

😠 I really wish #JLCPCB would up their game when it comes to parts for assembly.

I needed 1,500 IC but they only had ~300 so I pre-ordered on 2025-01-16 est. arrival March.

Two days later they have 3k in stock 🤦 . Luckily they're not expensive so I can just buy them again but they really need to do better IMHO.

(sadly #LCSC aren't any better with backordered parts)
