SMD edge connectors
From the Facelesstech blog:
SMD edge connectors
Normally you would use through hole then either have a 90 degree headers or just bend them over. [..] I had a brain wave, why don’t I lie the header down flat on the board and solder it to a SMD pad

Scanning Parts Into KiCad — Hackaday
You do not know how to make a PCB unless you can make your own parts. [Jan] knows this, but like everyone else he checked out the usual online sources for a footprint for an SD card socket before making his own. It turns out, this SD card socket bought from an online marketplace was…
Zorg Door Bomb replica
Kevin Rye recreated this replica from a favorite movie:
It’s the Zorg Door Bomb!
The Fifth Element is one of my all-time favorite movies. I watched it again the other day and as soon as I saw Zorg’s Door bomb, I said to myself, “I’m so building that!”
Here it is in action:
3.3V Is Not Enough for This Raspberry Pi Zero — Hackaday
A Raspberry Pi Zero is down to a price and size where it’s just begging to be integrated into your projects. Unless, that is, if your project involves a lot of 5 V equipment. Then it’s just begging to be fried. [David Brown] solved this problem by breaking out pins with level converters. He used…

Creating A PCB In Everything: Eagle DRC and Gerber Files — Hackaday
For the next post in the Creating A PCB series, we’re going to continue our explorations of Eagle. In Part 1, I went over how to create a part from scratch in Eagle. In Part 2, we used this part to create the small example board from the Introduction. This time around I’ll be going over Design […]

Portland Mini Maker Faire recap
Portland Mini Maker Faire made for a fantastic weekend at OMSI earlier this month. We’ve shared our favorite photos of the fun.
Thanks to everyone that visited our booth. It’s wonderful to meet our customers in person and hear about their projects!
Sergey Kiselev and his son stopped by our booth to show us projects they’ve created including this Intel Quark environmental sensors board.
People enjoyed seeing our full PCB panels in person and learning more about the manufacturing process. We’ll also have them on display at our open house on Open Hardware Summit eve next week.
Low Voltage Labs had a bunch of fun easy-to-solder kits:
Mark Keppinger created this blinky board kit for people to learn to solder at the faire:
