How many watts can a trace handle? Intern Sam at our #fablab at @waag put it to the test. Design in #Kicad, prototypes on a small cnc milling machine (Modela mdx20). 0.25 mm tapered balnose milling bit. PCB FR1 copper clad (phenolic paper) with a copper thickness of 35µm.
Surprising results!!

@hackaday These look very nice for prototyping.

I am glad I never used nor recommended glitch dot com as it is now shutting down. It sure felt like a great project, but I am sick of the dependencies we feed when using those kinds of startup’s tools. Make your own tools or use free [software] ones.
If you are interested in an alternative to glitch, check out https://gitlab.com/raphaelbastide/stolon, it is community made, self-hostable and flat file.

Упрощение прототипирования и верификации RTL с помощью Python

Всем привет! Хочу поделиться своим опытом использования Python на этапах прототипирования RTL-модулей и последующей верификации. Как RTL-инженер, я часто создаю модели на Python для быстрой проверки логики и алгоритмов будущего RTL. Это подход уменьшает вероятность последующих правок в логике RTL в случае если алгоритм не подходит. Однако при переходе к тестированию на SystemVerilog всегда возникала проблема с переиспользованием написанной Python модели устройства: нужно было писать обвязку на C и использовать DPI-C интерфейсы, чтобы интегрировать Python-код модели в верификационную среду. Это занимало время и было неудобно. Недавно я открыл для себя библиотеку PyStim (Bind Python & SystemVerilog), которая кардинально упростила процесс. PyStim позволяет напрямую вызывать Python-методы и работать с Python-объектами из среды SystemVerilog без необходимости писать обвязку на C или использовать DPI-C . Это значительно снизило трудозатраты и ускорило адаптацию уже готового Python-кода в тестбенче.

Why I Skipped Figma and Prototyped in Code Instead, by @uxdesigncc:

Anyone tried to use one of these "conductive paint" markers to make a dirt-cheap diy pcb prototyping printer?

And what do you think could it be possible to even print pcbs with more than just a surface layer using them by e.g. applying some insulating varnish or something? Maybe by using screen printing techniques even?

I designed a #SMD adapter board using @kicad and let @aislerhq manufacture them. They are for #SOT23 on one side and #SOT363 on the other side. They bridge the gap of a #solderless #breadboard, so they are perfect for #prototyping circuits or trying out new components - or as replacement for through-hole parts. I soldered a dual diode #BAV70 on one and a dual NPN/PNP transistor #BC847BPN on a second one to try them out. I'm satisfied how they look, although the white area for labeling is a bit small - I need a thinner pen for that.
You can find the shared project here: https://aisler.net/p/UTAGNLYX (trying out this feature, please give feedback if you use it).

Prototypes getting stuck?

Here are 3 common culprits:
🔧 Incomplete drawings (missing tolerances, no finish callouts)
⏱ Unrealistic timelines (sourcing takes time—flag it early)
♻️ Endless revisions (tweak → reprogram → reset)

Even a “quick prototype” needs clarity.
Lock what you can—or loop us in early. We’re here to help.
