Reverse Engineering PCBs

I spend more time than I probably should reverse engineering circuit boards, so I figured I would write up a page on how I do it. This only applies to two sided PCBs, and requires some time of imaging device,

Mini Circuit 1: Constant Current Sink – Update

Not much to type here, but I completely redesigned my constant current circuit. I replaced the current sense amplifier with a programmable gain amplifier, added an ATMEGA328P microcontroller, a pinout for an LCD screen, a pinout for I2C and ICSP,

Mini Circuit 1: Constant Current Sink

I’m starting a new project series, I am going to call it Mini Circuits! Basically my idea is to make some circuits for some pretty common situations I have come across at work, and make a dozen or so. They

Soldering Workstation

So I thought I’d post a quick picture of my soldering setup. Before the picture though, I do have some things I want to acknowledge. First, I understand that having some form of anti-static mat is extremely important. I just
