About different way of thinking when doing PCB Layout. Do not think about voltages and currents, think about transferring energy.

Component placement & routing in Altium Designer

There is difference in selecting objects when starting at top left vs top right. I didn’t know about this for a long time. Hope you find this useful.

Going through Saturn PCB Calculator – which is free and useful software for engineers. I use the software a lot to calculate impedance, maximum current for tracks / VIAs and sometimes to check possible crosstalk.

A feature which helps you to define PCB layers based on how they are used instead of assigning them to a specific Mechanical Layer.

See how much the basic parameters of your design can change price of your PCB.

Video explains how you can copy pin names from datasheet in insert them into your schematic symbol.

This is a step by step tutorial to learn how to create simple 3D model of PCB which can be used for 3D printing.

How to use manufacturer part search to create and import a new component.

How the manufacturer part search works and what we can do with it.
