🎉 Part-DB 2.19 has been released -

You can now view 3D models directly inside Part-DB:. all common file types are supported: stl, 3mf, obj, step, iges, etc.

Other new features include an improved footprint gallery and optional new footprint images generated from #KiCad 3D models.

What changes when PCB design moves beyond the basics?

BGA routing, signal integrity, eMMC, power delivery and thermal management bring very different challenges. Peter explores five of them and the thinking behind solving them.

Finally, here's a tutorial for how I made the art for it (and my other circuit boards) – hand-drawn on my iPad and transferred to #KiCad .

There are many more tools for that nowadays (such as Gingerbread by @thea.codes ), but I still favor this method :)
