For Bay Area Maker Faire this year, I created some giveaway keychain PCBs based on the EMF Explorer Badge, and folks got to practice soldering using iFixit's Power Series portable soldering stations. Big thanks to @oshpark for producing the circuit boards, and @iFixit for sharing their soldering irons for folks to use. Catch me at an event, and I might just have a few left to share. #ifixit #oshpark

For #Teardown2024, I used art from that year's t-shirts to create an SMD solder challenge board. The OG design made by MakersBox was a perfect fit for the escalator artwork, which I converted into PCB layers and printed by @oshpark. The component sizes went from 1206 to 0201, which is comically small and not meant to be soldered by hand. Regardless, some folks were able to achieve a full build! #oshpark

I was looking through old photos and found this from the end of 2019.

I'd just built my 2nd hand-wired keyboard and had an idea: almost always keys are spaced at multiples of 1/4U, so why not have a long narrow PCB that essentially embodies the row wiring & holds the diodes.

I don't know what exactly the problem with the design was but for some reason it wouldn't work. (maybe just that the diode pads were on the wrong side??) And then for the next years I didn't touch it or think of it until now.

I wonder if I still have the design files.

@3dprinting This morning I soldered the FilaBilly dehumidifier PCB. I need to crimp up some connectors, reprint the orange standoff/surround (it's like 0.3mm too tight), and finish the firmware. Then it'll be system testing time! I already know the ESP32 boots, either from USB or 12V power.

I found out about r/PrintedCircuitBoard yesterday, so I'll ask for a PCB review there, even though the board is assembled.

Nice looking Oshpark boards. I still miss the stickers 😕 #oshpark #opamp #electronic #filter #Schematic #PCB

Anybody know how to get a semi circle edge cut in #KiCAD with #oshpark? I tried to get a connector's key cut but oshpark didn't drill it. Do I need to place an nc via here?

@recantha using KiCad is an art. It's relatively easy to learn, and getting your first PCB from #oshpark is not too hard (and rewarding). Designing for low-cost prototype services is more difficult. Using the correct design rules, using supplier component databases, balance default components with special components (if available), label them correctly, double- and triple-check orientation of, e.g., diodes...

Having an up-to-date guide certainly saves time (or money).
