Mixed Signal Education with Philip Salmony

The Amp Hour · 18 Jan 2022 · 1h 06m · Episode 573

What this episode covers

Philip Salmony of Phil's Lab joins Chris Gammell to discuss his new mixed-signal PCB design course hosted on Fedevel Academy, which guides students from vague requirements to a manufacturable USB signal generator using KiCad v6. They explore the challenges of the current silicon shortage, including the need to redesign boards for available components like STM32 microcontrollers and sensors, and the resulting maintenance burden of supporting multiple hardware revisions. The conversation also covers Philip's career path from analog design at Keithley Instruments to his current work, emphasizing the importance of practical education, mentorship, and building a 'mental library' of component knowledge.

    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.

    471: Bicycle Built For Two

    Andrew Ikenberry, founder of Electrosmith and Qu-Bit, discusses the Daisy Seed platform, an embedded system for audio processing featuring an STM32H750 microcontroller and external SDRAM. He details the 'codec saga,' where supply chain disruptions forced three hardware redesigns (AKM, Cirrus Logic, TI) due to factory fires and obsolescence. Ikenberry explains how Electrosmith manages in-house SMT assembly in San Clemente to maintain quality control and iterates on manufacturing processes like reflow profiles to ensure reliability for B2B customers.

    The Future of PCB Design Education: HaSofu Founder Kirsch Mackey

    Kirsch Mackey, founder of HaSofu, explains how his educational platform bridges the gap between academic theory and industry requirements for PCB and hardware design. He discusses the realistic limitations of AI in engineering workflows, warning that while AI can accelerate tasks, it cannot replace the deterministic reasoning required for physical design. Mackey details HaSofu's curriculum, which covers topics from basic electronics to embedded firmware using platforms like STM32 and 8051, and outlines future plans for power electronics and AI engineering courses.
