Andreea Everyone investing time in developing electronics or IoT hardware needs a PCB. Whether you are a sophomore, an enthusiastic DIYer or a professional innovator, the PCB still remains an important aspect of your electronics project. Therefore, it is only right to state that designing a PCB is the most crucial task you will be involved …
The rise of IoT, Industry 4.0 and the smart revolution has triggered a butterfly effect on the electronics/hardware industry. This trend has led to electronics manufacturers having to innovate or be eaten by the competition. It has also led to an influx of new blood interested in taking over the electronics space and PCBWay is …
One of the major driving forces behind how electronics and other hardware function is the printed circuit board (PCB). This fact is something everyone interested in electronics knows. But for software designers and other non-technical people, a PCB is basically a connector or bridge that supports electrical connections within a device. Therefore, before taking advantage …
All electronic DIY projects start with determining what the device intends to accomplish and then designing the circuit board that would be incorporated into the device. As you probably know, circuit boards come in different types and must be designed to support the mechanical and electrical components of your device. Therefore, your circuit board must …
Spectrum Analyzers are useful electronic devices that are currently being used in multiple industries. With a spectrum analyzer, you can watch how signal amplitude varies by signal frequency. These devices are used in the music industry for music production. They can replace the music producer’s ears and provide better insight into the acoustics and quality …
Occasionally, we receive e-mail requests asking if we offer PCB cleaning services once electronic devices become erratic. If you are one of those who have ever wondered how PCBs get dirty or abused and what it takes to clean a PCB, this post is for you. Today’s discussion will be centered around how PCBs get …
The study of engineering regardless of the discipline you choose is one filled with technicalities, the learning of theories and equations coupled with their application in solving real-life problems in diverse situations. Therefore, having a solid foundation during your formative years as a student which can be built upon as time goes by, is quite …
Looking for a way to speed-up your programming skills? Yes, or no, it is vital. In today’s world where robots and computers have taken over everything, there is no better way of improving your learning experience than introducing yourself to everyday growing technology. They are more into robotics simply because it is the best way …
To perfectly understand the 14-in-1 robot kit developed by OWI Robotics, it is quite important to understand its parent company, what it stands for and the idea behind developing the robotics kits[1] for kids. So here is a little expose on OWI. OWI is a robotics company interested in educating children on the benefits of …
If you are reading this, you already know what a circuit board is and may have used one. But for those who don’t, here is a little introduction. A circuit board is a standalone board that mechanically supports and electrically connects electronic components using conductive tracks. Therefore, they form the bedrock of every electronic device …
The field of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence is here to stay. And for those who doubt this statement, a simple analysis of the great strides made by individuals and enterprises to take robotics mainstream in the last decade would definitely convince you. Now, every Tom, Dick and Harry, Kids or Adults can now participate in …
Programming and robotics are skills we most probably will need the most in the coming years as most of, if not everything converges nowadays towards autonomous and self-controlled systems. What if you could help your kids learn these skills from childhood? That will make the transition smoother if by any chance they happen to need …

In this post, you will learn how to use the Mirror command in Solidworks. Mirroring is another way that SolidWorks can create a “copy” of an existing object. Additionally, you must choose a plane to mirror parts. In most cases, you will have to create your own plane to have the mirror done the way you …
By converting entities in Solidworks, you can easily create one or more curves in the sketch by projecting an edge, loop, face, curve, external contour, set of edges onto the sketch plane. Solidworks convert entities Let’s use the example below to help assimilate what we are trying to put forward here. Step 1 First Create a …
