PCB Designing: 20 Essential Tips for Success

Creating a printed circuit board (PCB) is like building the brain of your electronic gadgets. To help you design a functional and reliable PCB, here are twenty important things you should keep in mind, explained in simple terms: Placing Components in the Right Spots: Think of your PCB like a puzzle. Each electronic part, called a component, has its own special place on the board. Just as you wouldn't mix up puzzle pieces, don't mix up your components. Proper placement ensures...

PCB Prototyping Simplified by PCBWay

Join me as I recount a personal journey that completely revolutionized my electronics engineering experience. At the outset of my ventures in the world of electronics, crafting PCBs proved to be an arduous and time-consuming task, putting my patience to the test with toner transfer methods and the complexities of local manufacturing. However, the challenges didn't stop there; I constantly found myself racing against time to procure elusive components, leading to frustrating delays in my projects. While there were various tools...

PCB Manufacturing Simplified by JLCPCB

During the beginning of my electronics engineering journey I used to make PCBs at home using toner transfer method. Later I used to do screen printing and also manufacture PCBs locally. Then I used to assemble components myself. In all these methods PCB manufacturing itself is a time consuming process. Sometimes some components won't be readily available in the market which will further take more time to arrange. Recently I have come across JLCPCB, which is a sister organization of EasyEDA...

EasyEDA – A Cloud based PCB Design Software

Cloud computing is an internet based computing which relies on sharing computer resources. It enables us to use computer resources or processing power as a utility similar to using electricity. So we don't need to make big computer infrastructure in our building, just use the cloud resources whenever there is a need. Nowadays everything become cloud computing, like cloud storage, word processing, business analytics etc. What is the role of cloud computing in electronics ? The question ends here, EasyEDA. It...

Getting Started with DipTrace

DipTrace is a software that allows you to create simple and complex Printed Circuit Boards from schematic diagrams to layouts. It is a user friendly EDA software. We recommend this for electronics hobbyists, as it is a freeware allows us to design single layer and double layer PCBs upto 300 pins. You can purchase its paid version if you need more layers/pins. If you are a beginner to PCB designing, you should be familiar with following terms before going to pcb designing. ...

PCB Designing using OrCad Layout 10.5

OrCad is a highly developed and complex software that provides affordable and high performance PCB designing tools for small and industrial PCB designers. But for an electronic hobbyist, OrCad may seems to be highly complicated and time consuming when compared to other PCB designing tools. OrCad 9.2 is the commonly used version but it is not compatible with 64 bit and the next best choice is OrCad 10.5 as higher versions of OrCad are highly complicated. Thus in this tutorial, we will show...
