#kicad — Public Fediverse posts

Kolega przyszedł i mówi, że popsuła się grzałka w termocyklerze (dużo trudnych słów i skrótów w stylu DNA) i jakaś tasiemka nie pamiętam do czego. I że tego ustrojstwa nie da się kupić luzem tylko z czymśtam™ i bardzo drogo no i czy chciałbym spróbować.

No jak nie jak tak!
Trochę pomarudziłem, że to poprzednie wymaga godziny żeby sprawdzić czy wyszło, ale przecież nie mogłem odpuścić zabawy. :D

#DIY #KiCad

While I wait for pcbway to start making my version 3.2 boards, I now have to switch gears from #kicad to #freecad and start designing some of the physical parts of #synthseqr. Ok brain, do a kick flip.

Please help me find a good symbol-name for those hex spacers. I am obsessed with not using male/female terminology in #kicad library.

The names should be rather short but also descriptive.

I would like to include at least the two types shown in the picture below. Perhaps also the 3rd type that has a stud with outside threads on both ends.

LED Matrix mit MAX7219 und ESP32 ansteuern

Aus der Krabbelkiste zur fertigen Smart-Clock: Wie ein kleines Winterprojekt mit einer Handvoll AliExpress-Modulen und einem ESP32 zur ultimativen LED-Matrix-Uhr “Dottie” heranwuchs.

#fablab #fabacademy

#Fabacademy started the #electronics production where students learn howto prototype #PCB 's. Huge progress this year with the addition of the fablib (standard Fab Lab) #Kicad plugin.

And since yesterday, the Gerber2Png plugin for producing machinable PNGs directly from #kicad.

Great talk by Kliment at #39C3 on "#Electronics is easier and more fun to get into than it's ever been before. All the tools and resources are easily accessible and super cheap or free. There's an enormous amount of things to build from and build on."

Want to "learn howto make (almost) anything" join the #fabacademy starting in about 3 weeks.

The #FabLib #KiCad library experienced a facelift and now is an official KiCad addon!

FabLib makes it easy to produce PCBs at a standard #FabLab. There are more than 2k Fab Labs in the world and many of them will have #electronics components from the official Fab Inventory. The goal is 1:1 mapping with the parts from the Inventory which reduces friction when learning electronics and boosts confidence when prototyping rapidly at a Fab Lab.
