SMT components are getting smaller — but your precision doesn’t have to. Whether you’re in production, repair, or quality control - upgrade your inspection process with the right optical tools. https://olimex.wordpress.com/2026/02/13/smt-components-are-getting-smaller-but-your-precision-doesnt-have-to/ #pcb #inspection #magnify #glass

Last weekend I spent a day upgrading https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com from #Debian Buster to Debian Bookworm. It took some time, but everything went very smooth. Also the @olimex A20-Lime2 holds up well going in year 8 of the project.

Its such a pleasure to work with that kind of reliable and stable tech.

@oscherler @PaulaMaddox @rafaelmartins every tool is easy to use when you learn how to use it :) EasyEDA can't do 10% of what KiCad does

@etchedpixels people do not realize that with all these cloud "free" services they do not own their work, at any moment the service may stop working and then they have no access to what they did! This is what killed Eagle - once they move to subscription model, any time you end the subscription you lose access to all your work

JLCPCB plans to spend $85K on an “Open Source Hardware” competition, yet participation requires the use of EasyEDA—their closed-source, vendor-locked PCB design tool.

Donating this money to the KiCad team to further improve KiCad would be a far better way to support open-source hardware.

FOSDEM: Where Open Hardware and Open Source Minds Meet. Last weekend the largest open hardware and open software conference, took place in Brussels. We ran RVPC Soldering workshop and talk about EUR 20 OSHW IoT Smart Home Server https://olimex.wordpress.com/2026/02/05/fosdem-2026-the-biggest-open-source-hardware-and-software-event-in-europe/ #iot #smart #home #server
