For engineers working on long-lifecycle systems such as aerospace and defense platforms, industrial controls, medical devices, and transportation infrastructure, obsolescence is a recurring, costly certainty. A part that is active today can be flagged for discontinuation years before the system it powers is scheduled to retire, forcing a familiar, expensive choice: redesign around a new component or rush to secure enough inventory to bridge the gap.  Rochester Electronics is combating […]

Wilson Harper set out to learn KiCad and ended up with a battery-free PCB business card that lights up 21 LEDs when tapped against a phone, powered entirely by harvested NFC energy. The card pairs an NXP NTAG I2C Plus, which routes excess DC voltage out to external hardware, with a 3mm x 3mm ATtiny816 […]

Picking the wrong GPIO on an ESP32 can turn a perfectly good project into a board that refuses to boot, and figuring out which pins are safe usually means digging through datasheets and forum posts. ESP32 Pinout Studio is a free interactive pinout reference covering the whole ESP32 family, and it puts each pin’s real-world […]
