Sometimes the most useful hacks are also the simplest ones. A case in point is the LED and resistor assembly that [Skippy] recently posted on his blog. The idea is to solder up some pre-made ...

Microaware’s Sandwizz, a schematic-configurable breadboard, hit 120% of its funding goal on Kickstarter on July 19, 2024. The KiCad freeware schematic capture tool is used to configure an active ...

Solderless breadboards are extremely handy. You always hear, of course, that you need to be careful with them at high frequencies and that they can add unwanted capacitance and crosstalk to a circuit.

Before opening the Arduino software, wire up the Arduino according to the circuits page using the 8MHz minimalist breadboard circuit but with a 10k pull-up resistor on the reset pin (physical pin 1).

PCB design is easy, right? To a certain extent that’s fair to say; with a growing number of schematic design and PCB layout packages available — normally integrated, increasingly free — almost anyone ...

The first two parts of this blog series introduced the challenge of enabling Power Distribution Networks (PDN) to maintain a well regulated supply for sensitive components in a circuit, in the face of ...

YOU can find yourself drowning in wires as your circuits get more elaborate. To add components without making an octopus, you need a breadboard. Breadboards are so called because early makers ...
