Printed circuit boards, the panels found in virtually every electronic device, were once a cornerstone of high-tech manufacturing in New England. Massachusetts alone was home to 17 companies churning ...

The method shared is open source, avoids plastics and conflict minerals, and looks like fun.

Printed Circuit Boards have to be the most common piece of tech you’ll find almost anywhere. But exactly how much do you know about them? Here we will discuss a few facts about PCBs that you might not ...

Go with DEFAULT.TCH, unless you are doing something special like an ISA or PCI board. Select the *.MNL file you made a note of in Capture. Save the layout file. This is the file you will open to make ...

Do you ever wonder why your PCB maker uses Gerber files? It doesn’t have to do with baby food. Gerber was the company that introduced photoplotting. Early machines used a xenon bulb to project shapes ...

Researchers have developed a new PCB that performs on par with traditional materials and can be recycled repeatedly with negligible material loss. Researchers used a solvent that transforms a type of ...

The mounting holes are treated just like components. Add them just like you did the header, except use the Layout library and the footprint is MHOLE 1. Now we need to add the header pins to the nets.
