Making a PCB design in another tool than Kicad means I cannot use @npub1r3z…03cf 's turbo case and I'm going absolute apesh*t trying to use Fusion or FreeCAD.

I bought an IEC standard in the morning and got an notification that the standard was superseded just a few hours later. 🙈

The amount of engineering that goes into "simple" things is often under-appreciated. Just take SMD resistors or MLCCs as an example.
Or PCB soldermask etc.

Holy smokes JLCPCB got me connected to a Engineer in less than 10 minutes because the Level 1 support couldn't answer my specific question.

TIL: Vias are also referred to as "Interfacial connections" by the IPC and IEC

I am looking for a new job as a PCB design, Field Application engineer or at a PCB assembly house in the Zuid Limburg or Aachen Area.
I previously worked at Aisler where I provided technical guidance to customers and wrote a large portion of the customer facing technical documentation.
I have formal training as Elektroniker*in für Geräte und Systeme as well as Staatlich geprüfte Technische Assistentin für Erneuerbare Energietechnik.

My contract with my current employer (Aisler) will not be renewed. And thus I am looking for a new position in the electronics field. Due to contract related limitations I cannot work for PCB assembler and thus are looking for a position in which I develop PCBs or as Field Application engineer.

Does someone know a bit about implementing a USB-C to USB-C hub? The USB2.0 Hub specification has self and bus powered devices. If the upstream port advertises more than 500mA can I then enable "self powered" mode? The spec is not clear on this.
Also wondering if I have to reset the Hub IC if the upstream port changes its advertised current.
Please retoot

Idk maybe I'm not left enough but I think a "don't talk about politics" policy is okay.
Obvs. you call out gatekeeping and bad treatment of others if they occur but we don't have to discuss everything. Left vs. right is already pretty exhausting and we don't need more left infighting. It just robs us of our joy and energy to do better in life for everyone.
Leave social media and do something in your local community. It's way more productive and uplifting.

Bruh you will have to register your Arduino Q 🥴

2025-10-06 06:44:27 UTC

Okay this is a bit cursed.. a LM393 as logic gates.

Had to swap RX and TX .. Good thing I didn't put these into production just yet.
I think I did this relatively elegantly.

Does anyone know where I could get 850 WS2812B-Mini-V3 LEDs in Europe quickly?
Retoots would be neat :3

It's cool how affordable microchips eval boards and programmers / debuggers have gotten.
8€ for an eval board is literally below Arduino pricing.
(Even comes with its own onboard debugger)

Looking to get PCBs made in Europe? 🇪🇺
Here are some alternatives:
AISLER: 🇳🇱 Company, Boards are made in 🇩🇪 (apart from special orders), affordable prices but only offers simpler options, ideal for makers.
Beta Layout: 🇩🇪 Company, most PCB configurations are available with 🇩🇪 manufacturing. Somewhat higher cost, Free stencil with PCB order.
Eurocircuits: Manufactures in 🇭🇺 🇩🇪 , higher prices but also offer advanced options like micro via etc.

Is there a way to translate entire libraries from KiCad to Altium?
(I use KiCad but want to provide the libraries I made for Altium User too)

2025-01-30 22:43:07 UTC

You are not an electronics engineer unless you have KiCad on your phone.

Some UV glue and some solder and you have a Spec compliant USB C Sink. 🤔

Forgot to get the aluminium stencils for my Pixel Pump demo PCB. Too late to get them made now. Thankfully I have access to a Laser Cutter at the Hackerspace and with lots of help from another member I was able to make some stencils out of Mylar. :3
