Build Your Own Capacitive Touch Sensor to Control Home Appliance using ESP32 In many cases, ESP32 capacitive touch sensors are used instead of push buttons. The advantage is that we don't have to provide force to press a button, and we can activate a key without touching it using touch sensors. Touch-sensing technology is becoming popular day by day. And within the last decade or so, it has become difficult to imagine the world without touch-… |

Tips and Techniques for Designing Small Circuit Boards to Shrink PCB Size For any electronic product, be it a complex mobile phone or any other simple low-cost Electronics toy, Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) is an essential component. In a product development cycle, design cost management is a huge issue and PCB is the most neglected and costlier component on the BOM. PCB costs much more than any other component used in a circuit, so reducing the… |

PCB Layout Design Guidelines for Switch Mode Power Supply Circuits Switching power supply is a widely used power supply topology in power electronics. Whether it can be a complicated CNC Machine or a compact electronic device, as long as the device is connected to some sort of power supply an SMPS circuit is always mandatory. Improper or faulty Power supply unit could lead to a big failure of the product irrespective of how well-designed… |

DIY Breadboard Power Supply Circuit on PCB A Power supply unit is a very commonly used tool by most engineers during the development stage. I personally use it a lot when experimenting with my circuit designs on Breadboard or to power up a simple module. Most of the digital circuits or embedded circuits have a standard operating voltage of either 5V or 3.3V, so I decided to build a Power supply which can supply 5V/3.… |

Simple Lie Detector Circuit using Transistors Electronics has always been fun to play with, once we learn the very basics of how each component works and how to use them in our circuit it’s fairly easy to design, simulate and fabricate our ideas into a PCB. In this project let’s build a simple fun circuit, analyse it and then fabricate a PCB to improve our learning curve. The concept behind this Lie Detector Circuit is… |

How to Choose The Best PCB Design Software When PCBs were not discovered, engineers connected all components on a circuit using external wires similar to how it is done on a breadboard today. But as the circuits became larger and more complex it became extensively hard to build reliable connections using externals wires. To solve this issue, PCBs were introduced back in the year 1936. Today there are many… |
