I'm trying to launch a high-altitude balloon later this Spring or Summer, and made a board for telemetry and other data to be sent back to my ground station. It is based around the Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32-S3 Sense, as it's really cheap and makes it easy to integrate a camera Images will be...

How can I add components like 74LS47, 74LS90 etc to LTSpice to simulate a circuit schematic I have done in KiCad?

I am new to making PCBs, but i had the idea to make a 2x7 inch flexible pcb bookmark that lights up whenever a book is closed on it… having trouble deciding what switch to use for this but a membrane switch seems like the best bet… i just have no idea how to implement it into the pcb or if it is...

Hello all, I appreciate any time you take to read this. I'm somewhat new to KiCAD and new to using simulation software's. I cobbled together some SPICE code for the parts in the circuit below and ran the ERC to try and knock down any errors. The simulation still does not run. I am trying to...

I am working on my first PCB, and I am looking for some advice and direction. I am using KiCad 7, and so far it is working well. I have some more general questions regarding pcb fabrication and what options to choose. 1. I am considering PCBWay to make my 4 layer board due to cost and delivery...

I am using KiCad 6.0 for PCB drawing. I want to enlarge the drawn area I marked, is it possible to do this, and how do I do it?

Hi everyone, I am relatively new to designing schematics and PCB's and have only ever done simple circuits up until now. I have tried my hand at designing my very first ESP32 based Dev board. I know that these can be bought for fairly cheap already, but wanted to have a go at actually designing...

Hi, I am working on a school project and need to wrap the inductor around the resistor , how can I implement this in kicad?

Hi, I disassembled a battery-powered shaver but I'm having trouble understanding how it works from a circuit point of view when the machine is operating with the power cable plugged in. It has a 3-contact point 2-position (on/off) switch (sorry, I don't know its technical name). Here it is...

Hello Everyone, I am a young professional who has just started working in automation Industry as an electrical engineer and looking for a light scale software to develop electrical wiring diagrams for automation projects. My circuits mainly consists of PLC, HMI, IOs, E-Stop, Switches, Sensors...

Could anyone provide me the knowledge on how to design the pads for this connector with special mark on point 7. How to handle the Shaded region in this design. 1. Is that need to be considered as a pad? (or) 2. Shaded region is no need to consider as a part in footprint? (or) 3. Shaded part is...
