💥 We're excited to announce the launch of the KiCad Project community – a new hub for electronics enthusiasts, makers 🔧 , and engineers to share, inspire, and collaborate! Every time you publish your project on the platform, NextPCB will donate $10 in your name to support

🐾 Ultra-Low-Power Wildlife Acoustic Monitoring – Keeping Towns Safe! @misoji_engineer has introduced an innovative approach built on #Zephyr RTOS, running an ultra-low-power (ULP) acoustic monitoring system created with @EdgeImpulse to detect wildlife sounds. When a dangerous

🚀 NextPCB Environmental Sensing Challenge: Build a #SmarterHome that Thinks like You 🏡 Does your home truly understand you? Break away from limited smart devices. 🌐 We're launching the Challenge and selecting 5 groundbreaking projects to receive $500 in PCBA sponsorship each.

Stop illegal hunting in its tracks with tech. 🌳 Samuel Alexander built a cool solar-powered forest monitor. At its heart is a #SeeedXIAO ESP32S3 board, which listens for sounds like gunshots, cars, and chainsaws. (This PCB was designed using #KiCad.） He used @EdgeImpulse

Watch out, litterbugs! 🚯🤖 Meet the LitterWatch station, designed by Attila Tőkés to catch littering in the act. This clever device is built using a @Raspberry_Pi Compute Module 5 and a camera, and it's powered by an edge AI model that spots littering and other suspicious

The project tanked, but our meme game is strong. Gotta say, we nailed the side quest.😎

Today, let's dive into the PTH (Plated Through-Hole) process—a critical step that determines whether a #PCB can conduct electricity. 👨‍🔧 👩‍🔧 Why do we perform electroless copper deposition before electroplating copper? How do these processes work? Join #NextPCB and explore the

We're so excited for @semito_v as he moves into this new chapter! Huge congratulations!

Today, we are pleased to introduce TerraSono – a sustainable, modular acoustic intelligence system developed by Rishabh Jain. Using low-power #EdgeAI , it captures and analyzes sounds to detect threats such as illegal logging and poaching. The system employs a two-node

What's funnier? The single-ended tombstone (no-wonder it lifted) or the disintegrating termination. #aifails In all seriousness, tombstoning is a troublesome defect in surface mount assembly that occurs as a result of asymmetries or incorrect spacing. Here's why they happen and

🥳We are proud to announce that Cyao has published an ultra-slim split Bluetooth keyboard in the #KicadProject community and contributed $10 to @kicad_pcb The keyboard features a remarkably thin profile of ~7.5mm and a compact miryoku layout. It uses an onboard nRF module for

What was the first thing you noticed?👀

Come see us at the PCBwest on October 1st! Stop by and say hello! ☕ 🏷️ Booth：510 📍 Location: SANTA CLARA CONVENTION CENTER, CA

Last version of our RP2350 expansion card is ready for production by @HQ_NextPCB! NextPCB is our choice because they help with the whole process and are very fast to respond. Thanks to NextPCB for sponsoring our PCB manufacturing and assembly needs!

🚀 Unlock the Future of Connectivity — Join the #NextPCBAccelerator! What if you could test a cutting-edge Bluetooth + LoRa + Wi-Fi triple-combination module—for FREE? @RAKwireless 's RAK3112 is fully compatible with @TheMeshtastic . 💡Whether you're building a mesh network,

Just become the world’s first to run an LLM locally on a business card lol. Why? For fun. Details: - llama2.c by @karpathy with modifications from @_davebennett - 24tok/sec on esp32s3 n16r8 w/ a 260k param model - designed the card myself, whole inspiration comes from ouija

First prototypes of a board I designed with an RP2350 plus a small FPGA in the @sparkfun MicroMod form-factor. Should I make these available on @crowd_supply ? Let me know how much you think a board like this should cost in the comments. Thanks to @HQ_NextPCB for sponsoring!

🔍 Want to make your business card stand out? How about creating one inspired by an Ouija board? 🎃 Bouija is a unique business card featuring an ESP32-S3 that runs a local Large Language Model. The device uses 40 individually addressable WS2812B LEDs arranged in an Ouija board
