We've partnered with Altium CircuitMaker to bring our manufacturing services to PCB projects designed with their software.
For those unfamiliar with CircuitMaker, it's the free PCB design tool from Altium targeted at hobbyists and makers. CircuitMaker has a more intuitive and easy-to-use interface perfect for those who are just starting to get into PCB design.
With the new integration you will be able to easily import your CircuitMaker PCB designs into CircuitHub to have them manufactured.
Here's a quick look at how everything works:
1.) Click on the manufacture button on the "releases" tab underneath one of your releases.
2.) You will be redirected to the CircuitHub website. Importing your project into CircuitHub will take a few minutes. In the meantime, please confirm your details so we can set you up with a CircuitHub account.
3.) Once your project is imported into CircuitHub you can finish reconciling your project and receive a quote. For help with this you can check out our FAQ page or feel free to email us at support@circuithub.com with questions!
Intrusive Soldering, also known as "pin in paste," is a lesser-known technique that uses a reflow oven to solder through-hole components and can offers advantages over traditional soldering approaches.
At the end of our episodes we've been asking you to send in any questions you had...and we're finally answering them. In this grab bag episode we discuss topics like what happens to excess parts, the ISO certification process, the shrinking size of resistors, and more! In honor of spooky season, we also share some scary stories from production.
In this episode we welcome back NCAB Group Field Application Engineer Ryan Miller. The first time we had him on the show he gave us a lesson on what impedance control is, in what situations is it necessary, and more.This time we recorded a video demo going through how he would create a stackup the requires controlled impedance.
