Arduino Opta Lite Getting Started with PLC IDE
Hello,
Got an Arduino Opta Lite PLC/programmable relay. It's a neat form-factor, but doesn't look to me like it will replace a traditional PLC.
Anyyyway, I've been trying to use the Arduino PLC IDE for ladder logic programming, and got a DFU error (after seemingly resolving another error) on an old Windows 10 Pro machine. Perhaps I need to use the boot button before downloading? Seems like info is scarce on this hardware package and I'm not impressed with the software either....
Network Configuration of a Raspberry Pi in LAN and WAN
Hi All!
I would like to configure my Raspberry Pi in such a way that:
1. It is accessible (ping, etc.) by a machine B directly connected via Ethernet (local network but without going through a switch/router and without having to modify the configuration of machine B)....
When should i use more than two layers in mine PCB Board
To use multi-layer pcb stackup in my design. Are there any principles or rules to be considered before creating a stack up for my next pcb design, and how would creating this layerstackup affect the board performance. Am designing a Board that has some High speed signals and needed a guide for this. Awaiting your response.
45 degree or 90 degree trace which is preferable when routing a pcb trace
I am designing a PCB board, which angle is generally preferable 45 or 90 degrees and why. And how does it affect the overall PCB performance? Are there any scenarios where one angle maybe more advantages than the other? Which one is more prone to signal integrity issues? Need your help on this?
Unlocking the Power of Software Knowledge for Hardware Engineers
I recently came across a fascinating post about delving into Firmware Over-The-Air (FOTA) updates, and it got me reflecting on the indispensable relationship between hardware and software in our dynamic field.
As hardware engineers, our journey into the software realm can be truly enlightening. Let's take a glimpse into a recent project involving FOTA updates:
1. Initiating the Update: The Controller receives the signal for an OTA update, setting the process into motion....
What's the right PCB substrate for USB4?
Some colleagues are working on a project that leverages USB4 and looking to design their own PCB. The insertion loss limits are pretty clear in the USB4 standard (see image), which leaves routing, trace sizing, and the substrate as ways to mitigate insertion loss.
What PCB substrate materials do you recommend to combat insertion loss in USB4 systems? Also, does a 2-layer design have a snowball's chance of passing EMC testing?
I hope some of the PCB and hardware engineers in server - @Petr Dvořák @pallavaggarwal @Joseph Ogbonna - may be able to answer this question. Thanks....
