What this episode covers

Chris Gammell and Dave Jones discuss the challenges of working in a displaced lab, the hidden costs of corporate purchasing processes, and the inefficacy of Sony's authenticated power outlets. They analyze the manufacturing complexity of reed switches, the trade-offs between off-the-shelf and custom transformers, and the practicalities of using DipTrace and KiCad for PCB design. The episode concludes with a detailed review of the Texas Instruments INA219 current monitor and the risks of relying on integrated components versus discrete designs.

    20: Soldered Together By Monkeys

    Phil King of Weekend Engineering advises host Elecia White on the end-to-end process of designing and fabricating a custom PCB, from schematic capture to assembly. They discuss the trade-offs between professional EDA tools like OrCAD and Altium, free options like EaglePCB and KiCad, and vendor-specific tools like DigiKey's SchemeIt and ExpressPCB. The conversation covers the critical importance of net lists, PCB layout challenges such as trace spacing and via types, and the logistical complexities of sourcing components and managing fabrication costs.

    123: Banished from Running Linux

    Bob Coggeshall, co-author of sudo and founder of Small Batch Assembly, explains how he transitioned from a career in software to running a boutique electronics assembly service for makers. He details the technical challenges of automating low-volume PCB assembly, including building a custom pricing engine in Python and integrating with the Octopart Common Parts Library to streamline customer workflows. Coggeshall also discusses his personal projects, such as driving Nixie tubes with high-voltage circuits and using microcontrollers like the ATmega328 and Atmel SAM D20.

    317: What Do You Mean by Disintegrated?

    Lenore Edman and Windell Oskay of Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories discuss their business model of creating high-quality hobby electronics kits, such as the disintegrated 555 Timer and 741 Op-Amp, which are faithful transistor-scale replicas of classic chips. They explain how they design products like the AxiDraw pen plotter to ensure a successful user experience, often choosing to sell complex items as assembled units rather than kits. The conversation also covers the evolution of PCB aesthetics, the shift from gEDA to KiCad for open-source hardware design, and their personal hobby of studying seaweed through the Jepson Herbarium.

    EMS@C-Level 2022 Season, episode 10 - Greg Papandrew of PCB Buying Expert

    Greg Papandrew, CEO and Founder of PCB Buying Expert, discusses the current state of the PCB industry, noting that while supply chains are easing and freight lead times have decreased by nearly 50%, domestic capacity remains tight for high-complexity boards. He argues that the CHIPS Act and the proposed Circuit Board Industry Act should focus on incentivizing private investment in high-technology manufacturing (like additive processes) rather than subsidizing basic 2-4 layer production, which China can handle more cheaply. Papandrew highlights a critical pain point where buyers are too overwhelmed by firefighting to optimize total cost of ownership, leading him to propose pull-based consignment inventory models to improve cash flow and supply chain visibility for major OEMs.
