What this episode covers

Hosts Dave Jones and Chris Gammell record an episode while Dave assembles a PCB, discussing the utility of the Interactive BOM plugin for KiCad and the board repair software by Paul Daniels. They identify design flaws in Dave's board, including incorrect capacitor voltage ratings and missing silkscreen designators, and share technical tips on reliability, such as using series capacitors to prevent short circuits. The conversation also covers battery selection for cold environments, the OWASP Top 10 for hardware security, and vintage test equipment.

    The Spark Gap - Episode 27

    Hosts Carl and Corey share embedded electronics horror stories, including Corey’s PCB layout error where a tool connected line and neutral, and Carl’s experience with a potato gun fireball. They discuss common design pitfalls such as incorrect through-hole sizing, voltage level mismatches between an FPGA and a 1.8V chip, and the leakage currents of unpowered ICs like FTDI chips. The conversation emphasizes the importance of reading datasheets, verifying Gerber files, and understanding power-up sequencing to avoid bricking components or causing shorts.

    Ep 313: Capacitor Plague, Wireless Power, and Tiny Everything

    Hosts Elliot Williams and Jenny List recap Hackaday Europe, detailing badge production logistics, customs delays, and the heroic work of Vojta Antonich in programming SAOs. They discuss a retrospective on the 2000s capacitor plague, attributing failures to thermal design rather than just chemical defects, and highlight a thermal microscope using germanium lenses. The episode also covers inefficient wireless power transfer experiments, PCB spring connectors from Decimo, and Mike Roller's world's smallest PCB blinky using an STM32L0 microcontroller.

    Signal Integrity, Thermal & DFM: PCB West Preview with Keven

    Keven Coates, Senior Electrical Engineer at Novium Designs and former Texas Instruments employee, previews his upcoming PCB West presentations on signal integrity, thermal management, and design for manufacturing. He warns engineers against blindly trusting silicon company data sheets and evaluation board layouts, explaining that these are often designed by third parties or driven by customer demands rather than optimal engineering practices. Coates shares specific assembly pitfalls, such as incorrect diode polarity and component placement near V-scored board edges, which can cause catastrophic failures during depanelization.

    203: Save My Board

    Charlie Ladd, a principal electrical engineer with experience in medical, FAA, and consumer products, discusses bridging the gap between hardware and firmware. He details his work on an oil quality sensor for VSI Oil and emphasizes the importance of designing for failure, using redundancy, and providing clear documentation like 'PickIO' spreadsheets and 'Theory of Ops' to help firmware engineers debug boards safely. Ladd also shares insights on the evolution of the industry, the value of mentorship, and how to stay current with new components through trade magazines and development boards.
