Hi readers! I hope you’re having a great day and exploring something new. If you want a successful PCB, you should have a checklist of rules that are never broken. Today, the topic of our guide is Design Rule Check (DRC) Material and how to avoid common PCB layout mistakes.
In the area of electronic design, the foundation for the construction of all circuits and components is the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Current device enhancements defined based on size reduction and enhanced complexity require PCB plans to reconcile electrical functionality, mechanical requirements, and assembly potentia ...
Not every supplier who talks a big game can actually deliver when it counts. In the world of bearings, where precision, load ratings, and uptime are everything, the difference between average and exceptional is often found in the details.
Trusted suppliers like Refast tend to surface in conversations among seasoned engineers not because they shout the loudest, but because their performance holds up under pressure. So, how can you tell when you have landed on a supplier you can genuinely rely on?
They Understand Your Industry Needs
It is one thing to supply bearings and another to understan ...
Hello friends! How are you today? Today we're going to discuss a project that is interesting and also useful in our everyday life. You see QR codes almost everywhere, right? They are printed on almost every product's package, leaflets, newspapers, and brochures.
Perhaps, you often use QR code scanners on your mobile device. What about making such a program by yourself? Yes! That is exactly what we are going to do today. We will make a QR code scanner using the ESP32-CAM. For image processing, we will use the OpenCV library.
If you’ve ever wanted to create a real-time QR code scanner using a ...
Hello, dear tech savvies! We hope everything is going fine with you. Today we’re back with another interesting project. Do you ever wonder how amazing it would be to have a text reader that would be able to read texts from pictures and videos? Think about a self-driving car that can read the road signs meticulously and go to the right direction. Or imagine an AI bot that can read what is written on images uploaded to social media. How nice it would be to have such a system that will be able to read vulgar posts and filter them even when they are in picture format? Or imagine a caregiver rob ...
Hello friends. We hope you are doing fine. The world is full of colours. Isn’t it? We humans can see and differentiate the colours very easily. But teaching robots and AI apps about colours is a real challenge. With the advancement of computer vision and embedded systems, this task has become easier than before. Today, we are going to make an RGB colour identifier using the ESP32-CAM. This project combines the power of OpenCV with the ESP32-CAM module to create a simple but effective system for detecting and tracking basic colors in real time.

Hi readers! Welcome to this in-depth look at high-frequency PCB design. When dealing with radio frequency, microwave, or high-speed digital signals, you understand that the choice of material can ruin or redeem your design. FR-4 may be wonderful for typical-purpose PCBs, but it tends to lack in sophisticated applications. That is where Rogers PCB materials step in.
Rogers materials are laminates of high-performance that Rogers Corporation has made specifically for employment in RF and microwave circuit design applications. Their substrates contain low dielectric loss, reliable dielectric cons ...
A common requirement for technical professionals working on electrical projects is to understand wire sizing, including the differences that can apply to how this aspect is handled around the world.
One conversion that frequently needs to be made for electrical projects is from American Wire Gauge (AWG)
to square millimeters (mm2). The latter is a measurement of the actual physical area of the wire’s cross-section, known as the cross-sectional area (CSA).
The Background of AWG Conversions to Square Millimeters
The fact that wiring systems vary internationally – AWG being commonly used in ...
Hey readers! Hopefully, you are having a great day. Today, we will discuss Laser Direct Imaging (LDI) and its role in PCB fabrication. Laser Direct Imaging (LDI) is a computer-directed method that employs laser beams to expose circuit patterns directly onto photoresist-coated PCBs, without the need for conventional photomasks.
Printed Circuit Boards are the unobtrusive facilitators of contemporary technology, energizing anything from consumer products to aerospace technologies. As the pace of technology advances, however, the electronics within must make their circuits tighter, more advanced, ...
Socket size is the main factor for homeowners, DIYers, and also for mechanics and enthusiasts. The socket size mentioned in numbers helps to use tools for certain projects, like for bolt head tightening or furniture assembly. In this tutorial, we will cover details for socket size charts
and different socket sizes that help to find differences between SAE and metric sockets and wrench sizes. So let's get started.
What is a socket?
The socket is a tool or instrument that is connected at one end of a ratchet that is used for tightening or loosening fasteners through turning. The working of t ...
Hi readers! Hope you are having a great day and want to learn something new. Today, the topic of discourse is the pros and cons of outsourcing web development services.
Why construct the entire house when one can call experts to lay bricks cheaper and quicker? That's the philosophy behind the world trend of outsourcing web development services. In today's digital economy, many companies scramble to build a strong digital presence. Not every company can hire full-time developers or maintain high-quality websites actively. By outsourcing, companies can access global talent, save on development ...
