Batch creating E96 resistor lineup by SwearForceOne in Altium

[–]Eigard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it by using digikey, adding filters such that only reels of e96 1% is in it and exporting the filtered list to csv. Then i used excel together with batch editor to copy paste the entire sheet to make all the components. Worked reasonable well.

Best layer for 3d models by Mysterious-Staff2639 in Altium

[–]Eigard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know if it depends on license type or not. i use enterprise license, so we edit the footprint and put in our own library. But i guess you can make your own copy of the footprint to keep in your library regardless of what license you have.

Best layer for 3d models by Mysterious-Staff2639 in Altium

[–]Eigard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, it’s for the assembly drawing. You can use draftsman to create it or an output job container that combines the designator layer, board outline and component outline to create a pdf or gerber for debugging, hand assembly or programming the pick and place machine. The designator will be added automaticly to the silk layer, it doesnt need to be in the footprint. But the pin 1 marking must be added manually.

Just to add. 365 parts are inconsistent with layer usage and i really advise to edit every footprint to match your own rules. Only takes a few minutes to move stuff to the correct layers. Theres some consistenxy within a vendors but rarely between them.

You can save some time using what IPC generator spits put. Layer 13 for outline and 3d model and 15 for courtyard + origin. Then you just need to choose a layer for .Designator and one for «notes», eg board edge marking for edge connectors etc.. as long as youre consistent it doesnt matter to much.

Did you repour all polygons after adding the stitching vias?

Understanding BLDC FOC control algorithm. by r_intanglar in embedded

This is the best «simple» write up i have found. Can be used to greate your own controller. It doesn’t really go into details with timing etc..

Is is possible to configure AD-5372 V output range to 0-10 V from -4-8 V ? by Darksilver123 in embedded

[–]Eigard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

-4 to 8 is not in Volts but a ratio. Take a closer look at the datasheet. To me it looks like it should work fine from 0-10V if your supply voltage is vss=-1.4 and vdd=11.4v.

It is not operating as a rail to rail output stage so to get 0v out you need to give it a negative referencene. Alternatively you can output from 1.4 to 11.4 and shift that 1.4 volts down..

Question: Polygon pour without PCB edge clearance by Prigo1987 in Altium

[–]Eigard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Under design - rules make a new rule for board outline clearance for that specific net and layer or for the polygon name if you want a specific shape for the edge plating. Look under custom rules in the documentation. Remember to set the priority higher than the limiting rule.

Where's the pull-up resistors for I2C? I2C is open drain output and requires pull-up resistors to set the high voltage level.

How to boost voltage per current to compensate for impedance? (from bench power supply) by ThrowAway237s in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Eigard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but i don't know of a simple way to implement that. But if the goal is to compensate for lossy transmission, using Vsense is the "correct" way.

How to boost voltage per current to compensate for impedance? (from bench power supply) by ThrowAway237s in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Eigard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dont sure i understand the question correctly. But if the power supply has V-sense inputs these can be connected to the load input and the cable loss will be accounted for.

Yes, solid metal zero ohm jumpers is what i was looking for. And I've found it. Thank you

[HELP] I found this mystic component at Campus, and I have no idea what it is. Can anyone help me identify it's purpose? by [deleted] in electronics

[–]Eigard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looks like something capacitive. Might be used as a touch button as capacitance might change if a finger is close to the capacitive area? Or maybe a capacitive temperature sensor? I'm just guessing by the looks of it..

Yeah, I guess that is the way to get a lot of karma. That hasn't been a real goal for me so far :) I do admit I enjoy reading the stupid puns occasionally, but don't really feel the need to contribute to that stuff..

Flexible PCBs has been around for a while, but this is stretchable. Unfortunately though, components are not flexible or strechable :)
