The Launchpad – A $2 Arduino Nano alternative
Boards like the Arduino and Raspberry Pi have their origins, deep in education, either maker education as a way for people to express themselves (Arduino) or an affordable and portable way for people to learn about computers and programming (Raspberry Pi). The culture of creating...

Panelization – using GerberPanelizer on Windows
Arsenijs over at Hackaday.io explains how to panelize PCBs using GerberPanelizer on Windows. He writes: This tutorial was done on Windows. Authors claim it could also be used on Linux by using Mono, but I haven’t tried and don’t understand a lot about Mono to see what could be...

Turn Arduino into an AVR TPI Programmer
Elliot Williams @ hackaday.com show us how to use your Arduino to program AVR TPI enabled microcontrollers. Turning an Arduino of virtually any sort into a simple AVR 6-pin ISP programmer is old hat. But when Atmel came out with a series of really tiny AVR chips, the ATtiny10 and...
