debauer<p>Instead of tackling markdown generation i tackled the 3d file generation. Just the board, but i can live with that.

debauer<p>Small rant... while Eagle runs some commands blocking, some others are non blocking and if i want to do thinks in schematic and the board shit hits the fan. Until now i can't find a logic. <br>My only solution right now is generating a scr for every schematic plus the board and call eagle len(scrs) times. </p><p><a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/eagle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eagle</span></a> <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/pcb_design" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pcb_design</span></a></p>
Habr<p>Beepachu или как я решил стать разработчиком</p><p>Встречайте, Beepachu! Это небольшой девайс на базе ATmega328P и LoRa SX1262 со встроенными светодиодами и пищалкой. Девайс должен послужить как некоторый удалённый сигнализатор. Его также можно использовать для любых других задач: от съёмки на открытой местности, где человек должен стоять далеко, до небольшого маячка, который удалённо можно включать и выключать. История о том как...

thuds wetly<p>by the way, part of the reason I project blog about stuff I barely know about is to help demystify it a little. I'm not an electrical/computer engineer but I've made two simple PCBs now and I just kind of want to show "hey if I can do it, you probably can too" and help show that the tech to do this is cheap and easily accessible.</p><p><a href="https://bonequest.net/tags/nagos_arcade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nagos_arcade</span></a> <a href="https://bonequest.net/tags/pcb_design" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pcb_design</span></a></p>
thuds wetly<p>does anyone on here have experience with KiCad and can help a newbie like me understand, when making a schematic, how to pick an appropriate surface-mount resistor that e.g. jlcpcb might have available for their smt assembly service? I know the approximate r value I want but not size or brand and have no experience here and there's so many possible options.</p><p><a href="https://bonequest.net/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://bonequest.net/tags/pcb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pcb</span></a> <a href="https://bonequest.net/tags/pcb_design" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pcb_design</span></a> <a href="https://bonequest.net/tags/kicad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kicad</span></a> <a href="https://bonequest.net/tags/amateur_hour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>amateur_hour</span></a> <a href="https://bonequest.net/tags/software_engineer_outside_their_domain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>software_engineer_outside_their_domain</span></a></p>

Alper<p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/PCB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PCB</span></a> etching with vinegar is HARD. I realised the lack of HCl late night and my only option was vinegar. I am not sure if I understand the chemistry behind. It does react but unstable most of time and before copper etch away my mask dissolves ruining the process. I am practically cooking copper all night but no use.</p><p>I will try tomorrow with proper acid!

Chris Burton<p>This wasn't there yesterday but I love the new <a href="https://widget.uk/tags/JLCPCB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JLCPCB</span></a> panel options. The column/row spacing is going to be especially handy as previously I'd request it in the notes which they didn't always spot first time delaying it with reviews (the micro USB connectors I use overhang the PCB so need spaces to sit flat).<br><a href="https://widget.uk/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://widget.uk/tags/pcb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pcb</span></a> <a href="https://widget.uk/tags/pcb_design" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pcb_design</span></a></p>
