So, enough "Liquid Glass". I have really important things to do. Lets route something. 😃
Maybe @mos_8502 has an idea how these guys are named exactly? I need it with 18P (2x9) and P=2.54mm
To find parts on #LSCS when you don't know there exact name is quite challenging... 🙄
The postman brought me a few Pi Pico Stamps this morning. They’re little-er in person than I was expecting. (Can a PCB be cute?)

When designing a #PCB and I need some "Goldfingers", how do I should design that? What to use in the schematic to get the correct footprint in the PCB?
What do think? Does it make sense to give the different net's in the schematic different colors for better visibility?
Am I missing something? The datasheet for the PCM2706PJT says "C5; 0.1uF ceramic capacitor". So, the schematic shows a wrong symbol, doesn't it? 🤔
This was a fast one. Last night I designed a small 2 layer #GPIO stacking header board for the #RaspberryPi that will be used in my #NeXTcube mini to provide a power and activity LED. It's in production at #JLCPCB already.

#pcbdesign anyone knows from where I can get svg icons 'anti static susceptible' and 'do not throw into trash' markings? I've seen jpgs and others, but not in vector format. Maybe there is some sort of KiCad library with marking like this?
Does anyone else here usees #EasyEDA? I would like to know how I can rename the symbols. So R1, R2, R3... C1, C2, C3...
Does anyone know?
Hey #electronic bubble. This is my very first #pcb design for a #USB mono speaker. It contains a 2706 DAC and a PAM8302 mono amp.
So, does this make any sense from the electrical pov?
Okay, I've now realised that it's helpful to look at the specs of certain chips and their reference schematics firsthand. This stuff is usually extremely well documented and a lot can be deduced from it.
Updated, a bit more structured version.
BTW: I am grateful for every input and every tip!
