Here is a short comparison of sources for PC board fabrication suitable for prototyping. These sources create production or near-production quality boards: plated-through holes, solder mask and silk screen on both sides. The first four sources have relatively long lead times, while the last source offers very fast turnaround (and very much higher prices to go along with the speed). --[[User:Petesoper|Petesoper]] 10:03, 29 September 2012 (MDT)

Intro

A lot of Splat'ers are into electronics / Arduino / etc.. and here are some interesting links to articles and stuff for the electronics hobbyist.

Components / Parts Suppliers

See Electronics Parts Orders for group orders with other *Space members. Group orders are a good way to save on shipping costs, and on component costs through volume discounts.

Prototype PC Board Vendors

Here is a short, crude comparison of sources for PC board fabrication suitable for prototyping. These sources create production or near-production quality boards: plated-through holes, solder mask and silk screen on both sides. The first four sources have relatively long lead times, while the last source offers very fast turnaround (and very much higher prices to go along with the speed). --Petesoper 10:03, 29 September 2012 (MDT)


Rough comparison of prototype PCB vendors
Vendor Loc 2 layer cost Est total for 3 2"x2" bds, cheap shipping wks order=>NC Slots?
OSH Park OR $5/sq inch $24 3 Y
BatchPCB CO $10 setup + $2.50/sq inch $44 $4 N
Seeedstudio China $0.25/sq in for 10 2"x2" bds $14 (10 bds) 4 N
ITeadstudio China $0.25/sq in for 10 2"x2" bds $17 (10 bds) 4 N

Software

Magazines

Some useful discussion forums / boards / blogs / wikis / etc

Using MOSFETs with Arduino

Using Power MOSFETs with an Arduino, to control high current / high-voltage devices, is not always as straightforward as it might appear. Here are several articles and Arduino.cc forum threads that speak to using MOSFETs / using MOSFETs with Arduino.

Using Surface Mount Components

Surface Mount to DIP Adapters

Using Transistors

Using 555 / 556 Timer ICs

Using Op-Amps

LM317 (Adjustable) Voltage Regulator

Oscillators / Inverters

Other Interesting ICs

Hacking PC Power Supplies
