Fritzing recently published version 1.0.6, with very useful changes, like improved handling of complex projects and a new Adafruit parts bin. We’ve updated our service to fully support Fritzing 1.0.6.

Need to check which tools we support? Find the matrix here: community.aisler.net/t/pcb-design...
Promotional graphic for Fritzing 1.0.6 support by AISLER. The image features the AISLER logo in the top left corner, followed by the headline “Fritzing 1.0.6 – Faster load times, better exports, 83 new Adafruit parts.” Below is a visual overview of multiple Adafruit components arranged in the Fritzing interface. The bottom text reads: “This update makes design and production more robust. Use the latest version with full compatibility at aisler.net.”

Nexperia’s recent supply disruption has taken many by surprise.

The good news: most Nexperia parts have direct or near-equivalent replacements from European manufacturers.

If your project is affected, feel free to get in contact: aisler.net/en/support/n...
Projects stopped? Let's keep them running! Cross your Nexperia parts with European equivalents. Get in contact with AISLER

We'd like to show you another part of Campus Tirol Motorsports formula student car: A self developed Accumulator Management System. It consists of the AMS, nine Cell Supervision Circuits and a Precharge Circuit. The team wrote more about the project in this post: community.aisler.net/t/self-devel...
Close-up of the Accumulator Management System (AMS) and precharge PCB designed by Campus Tirol Motorsport. The AISLER logo is visible on the lower-right section of the board. Components include capacitors, MOSFETs, and connectors for high-voltage and data interfaces. Cell Supervision Circuit (CSC) board developed for Campus Tirol Motorsport’s 600 V accumulator. The elongated PCB integrates voltage dividers, an LTC6812 IC for measurement and balancing, and edge connectors for integration into the CSC Mech housing. Side view of a fully assembled accumulator stack used in the team’s electric race car. Multiple CSC boards are mounted on each module, linked by orange power and data connectors. The lower compartment houses power electronics, including precharge and AMS boards. Top view of one of the nine accumulator stacks from the Campus Tirol Motorsport Formula Student race car. Each module contains multiple lithium-ion cells monitored by narrow Cell Supervision Circuit (CSC) boards. The CSCs handle temperature and voltage measurements for individual cells and connect via orange high-voltage and data connectors.

Some packages don't have their first pin indicated on the component marking. In such cases a 45 degree angle on one side of the package indicates the orientation.

A post showing the same SOIC-8 package twice. Once with light from the top and the marking is barely visible. And once with light coming from the side, the marking is much more readable.

Working with polarized components during manual assembly can be tricky, but some tricks can make it easier. A thread 🧵:
An image showing tweezers holding an LED above a mirror, the component polarity markings are more easily viewable. The caption reads: A makeup mirror can be used to more easily inspect the polarity marker on the bottom side of an LED.

We came up with a solder jig for our solder workshop at the Maker Days Eindhoven. Which is made up of pin headers onto which the socket headers used by the MCU PCB are placed. Then the MCU PCB is put into the jig upside down, allowing the soldering of all pins without having to rotate the PCB.
