PCBWay Team: “Could you please briefly introduce yourself?”Kevin Yang: “Hello, PCBWay community. My name is Kevin Yang. I'm a rising freshmen self high school. And I guess to describe myself, find my electronics hobbyist. That's been just fiddling around with electronics for the last four years. And I just like playing around with Arduinos and then most of the time I prefer to just use bare transistor logic, resistors, capacitors. As well, I'm an AI and enthusiast and I like programming. ”PCBWay...

The chemical element symbol of nickel is Ni. Because of its excellent physical, mechanical, and chemical properties, nickel has many applications in engineering and industry, such as anti-corrosion, increased hardness, wear-resistance, and magnetism. It is mainly used in alloy formulations, such as nickel steel, nickel-chromium steel, nickel-copper, etc. to increase its corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. Because of its good oxidation resistance, it was often used to make coins in the...

Sneaky tricks to align stray bits into proper bytesThe setup that we see above… Debugging nRF52 with a Raspberry Pi running VSCode and OpenOCD… Was impossible just a week ago!OpenOCD connects to nRF52 for flashing and debugging by running Arm’s SWD protocol over GPIO Bit Banging. OpenOCD was sending data to nRF52 one bit at a time… Works fine when OpenOCD is the only task running, not when it’s sharing the CPU with VSCode and other interactive tasks!That’s because multitasking skews the precise ...

In our daily SMT soldering operations, we often find that ENIG surface-treated boards are prone to two fatal problems: nickel corrosion and phosphorus-rich layers. Once such problems occur, they often cause a lot of batch solder joint reliability problems. Because these two types of problems are very concealed, the current reproduction is generally not easy to detect. Once found, most of them are too late. The damage and losses have already been caused and may not be able to make up.There are ba...

The Electroless Nickel Electroless Palladium Immersion Gold(ENEPIG) process is the earliest surface treatment process developed by Intel. By adding a palladium plating layer between nickel plating and pure gold plating, the nickel plating is separated from the gold plating layer to isolate the migration of nickel to the surface gold layer, and the thickness of the gold plating layer can be reduced to less than 0.1um. Because metal palladium is wear-resistant and has a higher hardness than hard g...

Because they are everywhere around us and at least home appliances are supplied with the mains power. Many types of industrial equipment are also powered with the single-phase 220V-AC. Therefore, we frequently face situations that we need to have full control (dimming) over an AC load, such as a lamp, an AC motor, a vacuum cleaner, a drill, … etc. We should know that controlling an AC l...
