How the Repeat SpaceX Dragon Capsule Launch to Space Station Will Change PCB Design
Do you ever look up at the moon and wonder what mysteries lie beyond? Every once in a while, while I’m gawking at the moon, a moving star catches my eye. The International Space Station (ISS) is occasionally visible from Earth and is a constant reminder of humankind’s achievements in space. SpaceX recently added another accomplishment to the list, by resupplying the ISS with a previously used capsule. SpaceX’s advancements in reusable spacecraft

The Most Important Features for PCB Layout Software Comparison
Have you ever gone to a used car dealership and tried to get a good deal on a car? It’s nearly impossible for anyone but a mechanic. When I went I ended up with a choice between two cars that seemed nearly identical to me, except for their price. I picked the cheaper one and took it to a local shop, and found out that I’d chosen a jalopy. Sometimes choosing PCB design software can feel the same way. You use a free program or spend some money on

How to Design a 4-20mA Current Loop Receiver with Minimal Components
I’ve always been a fan of Gordon Ramsay. He never fails to amaze me with his colorful cursing as raw scallops are continuously served by hapless Hell’s Kitchen contestants. But what really amused me was when he tried his hand at Asian cuisine. The tables were turned, and he learned the hard way that good Asian cuisine is a completely different beast than his usual beef wellingtons. Process Control: Where 4-20mA reign supreme. I had a similar

Why Increasing Design Complexity Requires the Best Professional PCB Design Software
Didn’t everything seem so simple when you were a kid? No job to work at, no mortgage to pay, and no kids of your own to wrangle. My main occupation was to run around outside and try not to get too dirty while playing. Now life is certainly better, but also quite a bit more complicated. Similarly, the PCB industry is also growing up and become more convoluted . Gone are the days of large, simple boards. Now everything has to be small, sleek, and

Should You or Your PCB Contract Manufacturer Specify Every Aspect of Construction?
I was finally taking a trip to China; something I had been planning for years. I was about halfway through the flight when all of a sudden, my vacation excitement turned to dread. I realized that back at home, where I am PCB assembling, there might have been a critical board mistake during assembly. I was regretting not specifying that reflow profile. Then again, maybe I was regretting over specifying it? Any mistakes on my board were made days

Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery vs Lithium Ion For Embedded Systems
Two of the most popular battery choices for embedded systems are lithium-ion batteries (Li-Ion) and lithium iron phosphate batteries (Li-phosphate or LiFePO 4 ). These two types of batteries have very different charging and discharging characteristics, although they have similar chemistry and use some of the same materials. In some systems, you could use either type of battery, but each has its advantages in different applications, which can

How Embedded Machine Learning Applications Will Benefit From 5G and the Cloud
Editorial credit: Anton_Ivanov / Shutterstock.com When I was studying late at night in college I often wished I had a cybernetic brain implant. Then I could just download any information I needed and instantly recall it later. No more studying, no more forgetting my girlfriend’s birthday, maybe I could even watch Netflix inside my own head. Sadly the illustrious electrical engineers who came before me designed Internet of Things (IoT) devices

How Internet of Things Wireless Sensor Networks Can Benefit From Multi-Sensor Platforms
Some people like dogs or cats, but my family has always been a cat family. We have one important rule to keep us from graduating from a “crazy” cat family. We are not allowed to have more cats than we have family members. Sometimes we don’t want limits, but we still have to have them to keep things from getting out of hand. The same principle applies to the Internet of Things (IoT). While I do think many IoT devices are a bit overboard , their
