  1. I'll follow the KiCad Library Conventions for my custom symbols in #KiCad. Makes up for an interesting read by te way! klc.kicad.org/

  2. Anyone else on Ubuntu 24 having issues with #KiCAD 10.0.5 just "pausing"?

    I quite often get "KiCad has stopped responding, force quit or wait?"

    usually when switching between shcematic and PCB, or after running polygon pour?

  3. Oh noes. My #jlcpcb order arrived. But they forgot to drill all the holes for vias and THT parts. Their webview shows them fine. And it's the usual #kicad export script I've always used. Support case opened :(

  4. Del esquema al PCB 🚀🔔

    Después de varias etapas de diseño y pruebas, llegó el momento de fabricar el primer prototipo del PCB para el proyecto del Timbre Escolar Inteligente.

    En este video se puede ver parte del proceso: diseño, preparación y fabricación de la placa que va a integrar el ESP8266, control de relés y periféricos del sistema.

    Todavía queda bastante trabajo por delante, pero ver cómo el proyecto empieza a tomar forma física es una de las partes más interesantes del desarrollo ⚡

  5. Ach ich freu mich so 😍. Unsere SampleCards sind endlich hier ❤️😘🥳. Für #pcbdesign perfekt geeignet mit allen Farben und Formen von #jlcpcb (andere Hersteller folgen noch). #lötenVerbindet #pcb #kicad #lotenistliebe

  6. Finally found some time to bring my #NeoPixel Heart PCBs into a usable state and add some documentation. The #sourcecode is hosted on @Codeberg at codeberg.org/rommudoh/NoisyMcH and works for both variants (big and small).
    I think I'll publish the #KiCad files soon, too.
    Thanks to #platformio I can use the same code for both hardware variants.

  7. i'd like to think no major changes will happen but i expect things being very wrong! still testing components to make sure they work the way i think they do - including tiny #ch32v003 firmware mostly ripped off amazing #ch32fun (btw, #kicad 3d viewer is really awesome; frequently, i am in a loop switching between layout, schema and 3d views) #diy #electronics

  8. time for another round with #kicad - it's fun! (please let me know if you have any tips or you see any issues; just in case you are wondering: yes, i use #ch32v003 as a voltage regulator 😂)

  9. I'm planning another module for my #StackSynth - a #VCF based on the #LM13700 and the Skull & Circuits VCF-3: skullandcircuits.com/vcf-3/
    I already designed the #PCB in #KiCad but wanted to test it on a solderless #breadboard first. It works fine, so I ordered the PCBs.

  10. Reverse Engineering the IBM PC110, One PCB at a Time - There’s a dedicated group of users out there that aren’t ready to let their belove... - hackaday.com/2025/04/06/revers #drop-inreplacement #reverseengineering #retrocomputing #ibmpc110 #kicad

  11. One of the final modules for my #StackSynth project: the #noise generator. It outputs white, blue, and pink noise and uses a #3904 and a #TL074 with a lot of resistors and a couple of capacitors.
    It is based on Moritz Klein's video: youtu.be/0yB_h_wFkh4
    I prototyped it on solderless #breadboard and then designed the #PCB in @kicad and let @aislerhq manufacture them again. It turned out quite nice and sounds great.

  12. Ich habe ein Problem mit #kicad 8. ich will ein Drecksignal in der #Simulation erzeugen. Aber der negative Teil wird einfach nicht erzeugt. Habe ich ein Fehler in der Signal Beschreibung.

  13. I also tried to have #OSHpark bid my #PCB fabrication.

    Their website claims to support #KiCAD files directly, but it choked because I'm now on #KiCAD8 , which was released about a week ago.

    They also wanted more for 3 pieces (with soldermask only available in their trademark purple) than I paid for 8 pieces (in my choice of color) through one of my old favorites, Colorado's #AdvancedCircuits ( 4pcb.com ).

  14. After failing to create a #symmetric #powersupply using an OpAmp and BJTs to split 24V by forming a virtual ground, I went the easy route. Two #BoostConverter set to 12V each are connected in series with the center being ground. This way I get symmetric +/-12V. Of course I don't rely on the #battery protection, but rather use a 900mA #PPTC #fuse per rail. Also a switch and some LEDs as indicator. Enough #JST sockets for my upcoming #synth projects.
