Automating MicroPython Development and Testing Using Continuous Integration In Getting Started with MicroPython and the Raspberry Pi Pico we looked at how to set up, configure, and run MicroPython on a Raspberry Pi Pico device. In this article we will be focusing on automating that process and turning it into a Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline. Moving the automation into CI will guarantee that our code gets tested every time we push a commit to our code repository Automating MicroPython Commands and Development Now Read Article Do All Antennas Need a Ground Plane? The simple answer is “no,” all antennas will have a ground plane somewhere, even if it is not on the PCB. Read Article Project creation from OrCad sheet and Mentor Graphics PCB design This article shows an example of a project starting from an existing OrCad schematics project and its relative Mentor Graphics PCB design, ensuring a complete correspondence with the starting documentation.

Read Article Build Your Own Patch Antenna for Your Next PCB A patch antenna is simple to design in a PCB. These components are placed above a ground plane and require impedance matching. Read Article CADSTAR to Altium Designer Smooth Transition from CADstar to Altium Designer For the purpose of this migration guide we are going to focus on importing CADstar Schematic and PCB Designs, if you require other files migrated please refer to their specific guide. Legacy Translation Before You Start to Import This guide will show you how to import data from your legacy system into Altium Designer. What it will not ask is “why do you want to do it?” Customers frequently ask Read Article Today's PCB Designers Are Driving Electronics Product Design Professional designers know they play a fundamental role in the electronics product development process. Without circuit boards, all those semiconductors are a bit meaningless and they would not be able to provide the modern experiences we all enjoy. Even as PCB designers are so critical in the product development process, they still get the short end of the stick when it comes to product development tools. PCB design software is great for Read Article Multi-board and Harness Design Capability in Altium Designer 23 Altium’s VP of marketing Lawrence Romine discusses the multi-board and harness design capabilities coming in Altium Designer 23. Read Article Electrification and Digitalization are Driving the Automotive Industry It's hard to imagine that not too many decades ago, the most complicated and only "electronics" the average car had was just simply – a radio. Typically, a basic AM/FM device might have had an 8-track or a cassette player made up of a single PCB utilizing thru-hole technology and maybe an IC or two. Examples of early automotive computers / electronics.

Also, with the click of a button, you can compare two BOM versions and see what changed between them. Altium 365 now allows users to mark specific points in a project’s history by using tags as a great way to call out significant versions visually. We implemented Read Article 6:07 Power Integrity Analysis in Your PCB Design Software Power integrity problems can abound in modern PCBs, especially high-speed boards that run with fast edge rates. These systems require precise design of the PDN impedance to ensure stable power is always delivered throughout the system. Without carefully considering the PDN impedance, you’re at risk of creating ripple and noise in the power distribution network when fast signals switch states. As more signals switch in large ICs, the result is the Watch Video What is the JESD204C Standard for ADCs/DACs? JESD204C provides a standardized interface for RF ADCs with high sample rate, which are now appearing more in commercial space applications.
