Gerber to PCB in 30 Minutes at Your Desk: PewCB One Pairs a Laser With Vias-Ready Double-Sided Blanks A new desktop machine called PewCB One wants to bring PCB fabrication into the same room as the engineer designing it. Instead of exporting a design and waiting on a fab house, PewCB One promises to turn Gerber files into a populated double-sided circuit board without leaving your desk.
The system is built around a 20 W, 1064 nm pulsed laser that… |

Every Pixel Has Its Own Microcontroller Imagine a display where every single pixel has its own brain. That's the ambitious idea creator bitluni set out to bring to life in a six-month engineering project. Instead of relying on a central GPU, the display turns every pixel into an independent computing node. The ultimate goal is a 65,536-core QVGA display, while the first working prototype already features 8,192 RISC-V… |
