DOES ANYBODY STILL MAKE THEIR OWN PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS?
With all the readily available online sources to get circuit boards printed these days, does anybody still etch their own? What is your DIY process for creating PCBs for your projects? If you get them online, who is your favorite vendor?
And thanks to our sponsors who make this possible. Check 'em out and think of them first when you need something.
That's It, Enjoy!
KNOW YOUR BASICS
To master the art of electronics, it's important for you to learn the basics. I'm talking Ohms Law, serial and parallel discrete components, and simple signal sources. This might seem self-evident, but since the introduction of the increasingly popular microcontrollers and standard sensors and effectors, it's possible to create electronic devices without ever touching a capacitor or resistor.
How about a home automation platform with a cloud-based development environment that lets you create custom apps and microcontroller-based devices to talk to over Zigbee that you can control with your smartphone.
Power Re-envisioned with new EVE2 TFT Modules from Newhaven Display
Experience the new EVE2 TFT Module product line from Newhaven Display. Partnered with FTDI/Bridgetek, these modules by Newhaven feature the powerful EVE2 video engine and all its capabilities along with serial (SPI) interface TFTs. These modules are perfect for Human-Machine Interface applications and can easily be driven with low-cost controllers.
I have two desktop computers and three monitors. One of the monitors is shared between the two computers depending on which one benefits most at the time. How can I switch it from one PC to the other without disconnecting and moving the cable?
USING SERIAL BLUETOOTH WITH A MICROCONTROLLER
Stream serial data via Bluetooth as an alternative to RS-232 cables and build a Crystal Palace in the process.
Build your own electronic gadgets that monitor, measure, and react to the real world! All the programming and electronics essentials you need to build fun and educational sensor-based projects with both Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Learn to use touch, temperature, moisture, light, sound, and motion sensors ― even sensors that detect the presence of a human!
Robots - The Ultimate Electronics Application!
SERVO Magazine is the universe's longest running hobbyist magazine for robotics. Being a spin-off of Nuts & Volts (the universe's longest running hobbyist magazine for electronics, still in print), SERVO is the perfect companion to NV with more of the same great content, only geared toward robotics.
If you love robots and tech, then SERVO is for you!
