🎩🎩🎩 How to 3D-print PCBs from KiCAD? I prepared a short guide using Free tools only: 1️⃣ Set a new Drill/Place origin to the bottom left corner of the PCB. 2️⃣ Export the PCB as a new 3D model in

KiCAD project templates
🎩🎩🎩 Project templates in KiCAD Work on #hardwaretemplates for @Beny-devices inspired me to simplify the schematic drawing preparation. Especially the drawing Title block content repeats in every project. Here is a short guide on how to prepare a customized KiCAD schematic template:
BC 53.6 DIN rail template
📐📏 Verification of the Hardware Design Templates Beny-devices‘ mission of providing only verified #hardwaretemplates is a strict commitment, not just a motto. Each Hardware Design Template was verified in the actual application. Currently, I am working on the BC 53.6
Missing details for radiuses
💪💪💪 Nobody needs Hardware Design Templates Engineers do have everything = drawings and datasheets. But… I have been working on another piece to the #hardwaretemplates mosaic. There are missing detailes for radiuses. Sure, everyone can use the 3D model and
New HDT for 1553B
📏📐Drawing smooth shapes I have been working on a support for a bunch of new @Hammond Manufacturing Co. Ltd enclosures. This time, it will be a new 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 for the 1553B. You know, even with a precisely made
PSD regulator
📈📈📈 PSD regulator tunning Today I have to tune the constants of a simple PSD regulator I implemented in the ARM-CortexM0+ MCU code. There are more than just 3 numbers: 1️⃣ P-roportional amplification 2️⃣ S-umming amplification 3️⃣ D-erivative amplification 4️⃣
Object opacity sliders in KiCAD
🎩🎩🎩 Object opacity in KiCAD Today, I have a small tip for KiCAD users who are not so observant. I am not, which is why I noticed the opacity sliders almost a year after the current version 6 leaked. You
Secret oven project
🛠🛠🛠 Working on a secret project My customer does not want me to disclose anything. I believe this picture is not something disclosing any details of the project. As usual, a stencil and PCBs of the same thickness make a
Beny
🐈🐈🐈 Beny-devices are those cat, right? All cats. Strange boards and cats everywhere 🤦♂️ Once in a while, I am asked what it means Beny in the Beny-devices names. The answer is simple. Our cat is named Beny. She is
Design roadblocks
🚧🚧🚧 The most frequent roadblocks of a successful design are interface issues – non-compatible logic levels You know, the hardware design is a puzzle game. One block must play with another. Schematic blocks are like musical instruments. In harmony, everything
