Likely the two most important for DIYers are the easily-modifiable breadboard and resilient yet still versatile perfboard. Taking a design from schematic to breadboard, and subsequently perfboard, is a vital process to the electronics maker – learn it, live it, love it! © Adafruit Industries https://learn.adafruit.com/collins-lab-breadboards-and-perfboards Page 3 of 14 Transcript Circuit schematics are very nice things … all these components floating in a lovely two-dimensional world with ideal placement & perfect connections … a nice idea. But eventually … we have to make them real. And in reality, a circuit usually exists on some type of circuit board - like say, a breadboard for example. Breadboards offer the most flexible way to assemble a circuit - build it, change it, scrap it, start over - all good, breadboard don’t mind at all. And that’s because it doesn’t require any soldering. © Adafruit Industries https://learn.adafruit.com/collins-lab-breadboards-and-perfboards Page 4 of 14 Beneath all those holes, a breadboard houses an army of springy metal clips which hold component leads in place while providing electrical connections between them. … though you may want to avoid taking one apart. When we place a component on a breadboard, we’re essentially wiring it into one of those internally connected rows.

  • Surface-Mount Technology (SMT) Hikmat Abdulla Hama
    1 Research about : Surface­mount technology (SMT) by engineer : Hikmat Abdulla Hama 2 Surface-mount technology (SMT) what is a Surface-mount technology (SMT) : it is a method for making electronic circuits in which the components are mounted or placed directly onto the surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs). An electronic device so made is called a surface-mount device (SMD). In the industry it has largely replaced the through-hole technology construction method of fitting components with wire leads into holes in the circuit board. Both technologies can be used on the same board for components not suited to surface mounting such as transformers and heat-sinked power semiconductors. printed circuit boards ( fig ) 3 An SMT component is usually smaller than its through-hole counterpart because it has either smaller leads or no leads at all. It may have short pins or leads of various styles, flat contacts, a matrix of solder balls (BGAs), or terminations on the body of the component. History Surface-mount technology was developed in the 1960s and became widely used in the late 1980s. Much of the pioneering work in this technology was by IBM. The design approach first demonstrated by IBM in 1960 in a small-scale computer was later applied in the Launch Vehicle Digital Computer used in the Instrument Unit that guided all Saturn IB and Saturn V vehicles. Components were mechanically redesigned to have small metal tabs or end caps that could be directly soldered to the surface of the PCB. Components became much smaller and component placement on both sides of a board became far more common with surface mounting than through-hole mounting, allowing much higher circuit densities.

  • Introduction
    CHAPTER 1 Introduction n this chapter, you will learn how to install EAGLE™ Light Edition and will discover the various views and screens that make up an EAGLE project. IEAGLE (Easily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor) is a product of the German company Cadsoft. The company is now a subsidiary of Premier Farnell, which also owns Newark Electronics in the United States and CPC in the United Kingdom. The software has been around for many years, and despite having a user interface that can seem a little daunting to newcomers, it is a powerful and flexible product. It has become a standard for hobby use primarily because of its freeware version and the large set of component libraries and general adoption as the standard tool for open-source hardware (OSH) providers such as Sparkfun and Adafruit. Generally, you will find EAGLE design files available for their OSH products as well as for high-profile products such as the Arduino family of circuit boards. Printed Circuit Boards Because you are reading this book, you probably want to make a printed circuit board (PCB) and already have a basic understanding of what exactly a PCB is and how it works. However, PCBs come with their own set of jargon, and it is worth establishing exactly what we mean by vias, tracks, pads, and layers. The main focus of the book will be on making double-sided professional-quality circuit boards. This book assumes that you will design circuit boards and then e-mail the design files to a low-cost PCB fabrication service (as low as US$10 for 10 boards) that will actually make the boards.

  • Industrial Design - Design Activities
    INDUSTRIAL DESIGN - DESIGN ACTIVITIES The development of a product starts with a design brief used to create a specification. Circuits are developed using computer-aided design (CAD) and various modelling techniques. Evaluation and testing are carried out throughout the process to make sure that quality standards are being achieved and to identify improvements. DESIGNING ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS DESIGN BRIEF AND SPECIFICATION Products are developed to meet a need. The designer is given a design brief which outlines the need as a problem to be solved. The designer investigates the need in detail to produce a design specification. This is a list of all the requirements of the product. It should contain details of the functional and design features of the finished product, as well as information on weight and size, maintenance, cost and safety. The specification for an electronic product should include electronic factors such as component details, maximum working voltages, maximum currents, and temperature or frequency ranges. The design brief and specification are used to continually test and evaluate the product. This ensures that the product meets the needs of the customer. SYSTEMS DIAGRAMS A system is a collection of parts that performs a function. A systems diagram is a representation of how a system will work. These are often used during the design process to generate ideas for electronic systems. A simple systems diagram contains three boxes: • Input: the input starts the system, such as a switch or sensor. • Process: the mind of the system, which considers the inputs and decides what to do. Common process blocks include comparators, latches, logic gates, counters, timers and pulse generators.

  • Implementation of a Low-Cost Smart Grid Device to Prevent Brownouts in Village Micro-Hydro Systems
    Implementation of a Low-­‐Cost Smart Grid Device to Prevent Brownouts in Village Micro-­‐Hydro Systems by Thomas Quetchenbach A Project Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science In Environmental Systems: Environmental Resources Engineering Option August, 2011 Abstract Implementation of a Low-­‐Cost Smart Grid Device to Prevent Brownouts in Village Micro-­‐ Hydro Systems Thomas Quetchenbach Brownouts are a common problem in micro-­‐hydro mini-­‐grid systems due to the limited supply of power and the difficulty of restricting usage. The GridShare is a device designed to alleviate brownouts by limiting peak power and encouraging load-­‐shifting to off-­‐peak times. The device is installed at each household’s electrical service entrance and measures voltage and current consumption. Indicator lights inform the customer whether a brownout is occurring; if the customer attempts to use large appliances, such as rice cookers, during a brownout, the GridShare disconnects power to the house until appliance is turned off. The objective of this master’s degree project was to advance the design of the GridShare device from a prototype to a production design ready for small-­‐ scale manufacturing and to manufacture, assemble, and test enough GridShare devices to perform an installation in the village of Rukubji, Bhutan. Based on our testing and a field visit by the GridShare team in June 2010, several changes were made to the circuit design, and several prototype devices were built. To enable the production of 120 GridShare devices, a printed circuit board was designed, allowing automated fabrication and assembly.
