What this episode covers

Dave Jones and Chris Gammell review listener workbenches, including Henrik's tidy setup with a Rigol scope, Sylvain's RF lab, and Mike's massive 360-degree panorama featuring a pick-and-place machine. They discuss the 'Freeagle' campaign, analyzing Element14's acquisition of CadSoft EAGLE and their strategy to drive component sales through BOM integration. The hosts also debate the future of open standards in EDA, the value of PhDs, and the utility of Inventables for sourcing obscure materials.

    353: Red for the Ones That Might Blow Up

    Seth Hillbrand, lead developer for KiCAD and founder of KiCAD Services Corporation, discusses the evolution of the open-source EDA tool from a physics experiment necessity to a professional-grade design suite. He details how commercial licensing restrictions at Zuken and SolidWorks forced his team to adopt KiCAD for the EBEX balloon experiment, leading to his contributions and eventual leadership role. Hillbrand explains how KiCAD Services provides paid support to professional engineers, creating a sustainable funding model that allows the core team to focus on development while maintaining a welcoming, inclusive community culture that actively moderates against toxic behavior.

    35: All These Different Reasons Why You Might Want to Do Something

    Chris Gammell, co-host of The Amp Hour podcast and employee at a large industrial electronics company, discusses his new online course, Contextual Electronics, which bridges the gap between academic theory and practical hardware design. He explains the course's structure, which targets advanced Arduino users by teaching them to design, source parts for, and build a 'Bench Buddy' project using KiCad and open-source tools. Gammell details the logistical challenges of running a remote hardware class, including managing global time zones, version control via GitHub, and optimizing for low-cost, low-quantity component sourcing.

    129: Atoms Not Bits

    Matt Berggren, Senior Director of Product at Supply Frame and former Director of Product at Altium, discusses his vision for transforming electronics design through high-level abstraction and modular components. He details his Spartan 6 FPGA shield project, which allows Arduino-based cloud configuration of hardware, and explains the Wishbone bus standard as an open-source alternative to ARM's AHB/APB. Berggren also shares insights from his experience running grassroots electronics workshops, emphasizing the importance of substantive content over marketing to build trust in the maker community.

    The Spark Gap - Episode 24

    Hosts Carl and Corey discuss their 2015 resolutions, including revisiting basic electronics design and exploring open-source EDA tools like KiCad and Altium CircuitMaker. They announce a shift to a bi-weekly release schedule to allow for more guest interviews and higher-quality content. The episode then explores the topic of reverse engineering old hardware, citing examples like the original Xbox, cable modems, and Kinect sensors to demonstrate how discarded electronics can be repurposed or studied.

    317: What Do You Mean by Disintegrated? (Repeat)

    Lenore Edman and Windell Oskay of Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories (EMSL) discuss their business model of creating high-success-rate hobby electronics kits, including the disintegrated 555 Timer and 741 Op-Amp kits, and the AxiDraw pen plotter. They explain that their design philosophy prioritizes the user's assembly experience, often refusing to sell complex products as kits if the process is too fiddly, such as with the EggBot Pro. The conversation also covers the evolution of PCB aesthetics, from colorful silkscreens to full-color flex PCBs like Kong Money, and the transition from gEDA to KiCad for open-source hardware design.
