As always, we served up some great articles on board design in Brain Food.

We sincerely enjoyed seeing hundreds of you from our user community during AltiumLive 2017: ANNUAL PCB DESIGN SUMMIT in October. Please accept our heartfelt thanks for making these inaugural events such a success! We look forward to doing it again in October 2018 in San Diego and Munich.

Highlighting Exceptional PCB Designers
 
Randy Clemmons is the lead PCB Designer at Ingenu, a successful IoT company in California. In his spare time he likes to share his expertise in Altium Designer® through a variety of means, including a self-published blog. He recently presented a talk about variants at AltiumLive 2017: ANNUAL PCB DESIGN SUMMIT, during which he also shared some tips about how to start a local user group. Due to the palpable interest attendees showed regarding this subject, I decided to meet with Clemmons to learn more about his career and how he decided to start and lead a local user group.
 
 
 Space
 
Recently, I had the pleasure of attending the New York City Faire with the Altium CircuitMaker and CircuitStudio®  team. While there, I met a young named Frank Duggan who shared an inspiring story of how he built a computing micro architecture he calls BEEBA. He began this project as a sophomore and is now a senior at Union County Valley Technical High School in Scotch Plains, New Jersey. Besides his natural aptitude for technology, he is a talented musician. Enjoy this interview with Frank Duggan, who has hopes of ending up at MIT after graduation.
