    Design for AI & the PCB Design Education Revolution w/ John Watson

    John Watson, Altium's technical engineer in education and a professor at Palomar Community College, discusses the integration of AI into PCB design education and the industry's shift toward cross-disciplinary mechatronics. He details a major partnership with Mouser to train one million students in India via an expanded Altium Education platform and highlights the critical need to address the 'massive sucking sound' of retiring PCB designers by training the next generation. Watson also previews his upcoming PCB West talk on Design for X (DFX), emphasizing how AI is transforming verification and design rules.

    066 - Use Your Scope!

    James Lewis, known as Bald Engineer, details his reverse engineering of the Apple II MegaII chip to build a functional computer, explaining how he used KiCad, JLCPCB, and RP2040 microcontrollers to recreate vintage hardware. He discusses the challenges of debugging with Digilent Digital Discovery and Analog Discovery 2 tools, noting that the MegaII was likely an incomplete chip repurposed for I/O in the Apple II GS. Lewis also shares technical insights on capacitor aging, oscilloscope safety, and the importance of using test equipment correctly to avoid misleading results from logic analyzers.
