Greetings ! I completely neglected this website for a considerable amount of time. Simply I didn’t have either time or desire to write anything here. With this coming spring in 2023, with all this war and madness around us, I dug out my older passions, let them see the light again, made more time for …
This is a general purpose PCB that I designed in KiCad as a helper board for my Manhattan-style mounted RF projects. A link to the first version is here, but the text is in romanian. The original idea came to me after getting tired of using perf boards and bread-boarding for my prototypes. I wanted …
A timelapse of Fusion360 design of the case of the 101dB attenuator project.
Another one in KiCad 7.0. I work on a project these days and I face all kind of weird stuff in KiCad 7.0. While running DRC in PCB editor, I ran into a „Footprint [whatever footprint] does not match copy in library [whatever library]” warning: This seems to be related whenever the 3D file is …
A lot of microscopic tracks that needed to be cleaned up in your KiCad PCB project might end up messing with your DRC report: You just need to select and delete the culprit, then DRC gets cleared: Hope this helps. Greetings !
I needed this 3D design for a mini N connector that I have in my shack but I was unable to find any 3d file (.STEP etc) online. The connectors are used for my 101dB attenuator project. Enjoy ! Greetings.
My 3D printed antenna rotator project for ham radio satellites. Status 09/16/2021
This is a short video about the progress of my 3D printed antenna rotator. Unfortunately only in romanian for now, but captions will be created soon.
I published on YouTube a video about how to export ecad files in KiCad and import them in Autodesk Fusion 360 to create nice electromechanical assemblies. Captions in english.
A very short clip with assembly test in Autodesk Fusion360: Raspberry Pi and a hat I designed for mobile radio. This type of simulation is extremely useful to pin point issues in mechanical design and assemblies (see at 0:35), that can be avoided early in the manufacturing process. I will create a more detailed tutorial …
