Most of the multi-layer PCB’s I made had a ground or power plane inside the PCB. In Altium it is possible to implement an internal plane but most designers I know (me as well) don’t like that approach as the copper does...

I only got the .brd no other files from the project. But importing the layout at least gave me the footprints of the components which saves a lot of time....

The shield is a combination of an arduino shield and a raspberry pi 3 shield. The template is based on my raspberry pi template and this Arduino uno template. The project comes with a main sheet as...

Für 11 € ein echtes Schnäppchen. Passend dazu gab es ein Display-Controllerboard (HDMI DVI VGA LCD Controller Board Driver n156b6-l0a n156b6-loa LED) auf Ebay für 24 €. Leider bringt es...

Vielleicht hilft es jemandem, der ein ähnliches Projekt vorhat. Ich versuche vor allem mit vielen Bildern die einzelnen Schritte zu zeigen. Gebaut habe ich den Schreibtisch kurz vor Weihnachten mit meinem Vater zusammen. Material Benötigt habe ich insgesamt 5...

The picture below shows how to use the software. Simply fill out the “Fraction” field and press calculate. Default, the value will be build with 24Bit accuracy. You can see how the error...
