MEP EP#243: Schematics and Connectors, Name a More Iconic Duo...Parker
Battery Charger debacle update
Two batteries recovered, One failed
Amazon Sidewalk draws electronics from among TI, Silicon Labs and Semtech
Amazon Sidewalk, a new shared wireless network for IoT consumer device
DXF to Board outlines?
Eagles DXF importer doesn’t work all too well
Suggestions?
AutoDesk Fusion seems to import just fine
Stephen
Connectors on schematics
Rfdave on slack channel asked a question about this
Am I the only person who hates a schematic consisting of 1 connector, 2 IC’s, 4 bypass caps with all of the interconnects being done with net names, and no interconnecting wires?
Currently working on a design that has multiple boards with cable interconnects
How do you like to show this?
Reference Designator?
Potentiometer board - one board to rule them all
Using slots to make panel mount “solder lug” potentiometers into pcb mount
Not a lot of values in each taper is available in a through hole version
This means a lot less wiring is required.
EDA schematic and grounding
