Walking around the alley at Hackaday Supercon 2024, we noticed an interesting project was getting quite a bit of attention, so we got nearer for a close-up. The ‘Circuit Graver’ by [Zach Fredin] is an ...

SchmartBoard has announced that patent 7,511,228 has been granted for the company’s “EZ” technology for hand-soldering surface-mount technology (SMT) electronic components (see the figure). This ...

[Collin Cunningham] over at Make recently wrapped up another edition of “Collin’s Lab” – this time around, the subject is breadboards. He starts off by discussing a common solderless breadboard, ...

I got a cute sample from Schmartboard. They make little circuit boards that have long strips on them so you can solder SOICs down and then wire up the chip with a combination of jumpers and ...

In designing and prototyping electronic circuit boards there is no quick or simple way to produce results. Many hours of design and development need to be expended on prototype layouts along with ...

In future iterations, BotFactory believes it can 3D-print multi-layered surface-mounted circuit boards, like what’s inside your cell phone. That’s not going to be possible with the first generation of ...

This blog is Part 5 in a series that initiates designing prototype circuits from home. Developing Prototype Circuits from Home: Part 1, Introduction introduced the concept whereas Developing Prototype ...

After the super slick Ex1 circuit board 3D printer, say hello to Circuit Scribe: another Kickstarter project aiming to make it easier to prototype electronics by doing away with breadboards and ...

A project seeking funding on Kickstarter will allow you to print electrical circuit boards on paper using an inkjet printer. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get you as ...
