How to Panelize GERBER of KiCAD Project using Open Source tool

This article contains exact ways of using the GERBERPanelizer which worked for me and generating combined GERBER for fabrication when your project is in KiCad. Please feel free to reach out or comment if you want more details for particular steps or see any error or have better ways to do it, please reach at vidit@kamui.tech In this example we have 2 Boards of 2 Layer Board. We will generate the GERBER, Combine them, export and prep the exported GERBER for fab Generate Files GERBER files from all boards Generate GERBERs with the following settings Generate Drill Files with the following settings Make sure all the files are in one folder as shown below Download and Open GERBER Panelizer. Can be found here https://github.com/ThisIsNotRocketScience/GerberTools/releases Merge using GERBERPanelizer Start New file Select as shown in photo and add the folder which has generated files You might not see anything added, do this to make it appear. See Note #1 to avoid this Add the next board...

How to connect stepper motor

Yes this article is actually about how to figure out connecting a stepper motor to your stepper motor driver. This article is needed because there is no actual standard set up (or I can't find) for the naming of pins in stepper motor and the naming are extremely frustrating and confusing, they are so confusing because 1A and A1 can totally different pins! In this post I attempt to connect all the random names flying around out there and create a clear guide using which you (and future me) can connect stepper motors no matter that naming (or pain) world throws at us. Actual attempt is to tell the naming, and also how to figure out connection by knowing the basics of stepper motor. If you know and understand the basic you don't really need the convention Now since I am done with my ranting/monologue following is the information which you care about We have two player in our stepper motor setup Stepper motor Motor drive Stepper Motor Basic Idea behind stepper motor is to p...

What if humans can make worm holes - Electricity in House

How will the technology look like if the tool-making animal has a new tool - Wormhole. Assumptions - A wormhole can be made of any size - Could connect any two places in space - Unlimited life span Today's topic - Energy transport in House Obviously, there is no need for wires. What if there is a charger plugged in the socket and it has one side of wormhole and another end is in your mobile. Wire comes out of the circuit of the charger goes into the wormhole and the wire exit directly on the battery of the phone. (Why you need the battery? Because you may lose electricity at home, duh!) Imagine you can do this for all the wire in the home! The battery never dies of your phone and laptop. Cameras can be placed anywhere, no need for Wifi or Bluetooth, just connect to speakers directly through the wormhole! You can finally roam around in the house while cooking on induction because there is no need to power it on the plug. You can just hover it on drones because drone...

Reality of Li-Ion based Electric Cars

So, recently we have been considering to get into EVs. Image Credit: Fabio Berti/shutterstock.com I will write down the bare bone structure of industry what we could figure out and then we will get to details of electric cars and why we decided to stay away from the combination of Li-Ion and Cars. EV Industry is made of three major parts Vehicle manufacturer  Energy storage manufacturers Energy suppliers Absolute shamelessly, I  am going to skim over the above three sectors because even a small part of each sector deserves its own article, and let's not write a book here. Vehicle Manufacturer - All the people who make the machines you are going to sit on, in or hang under. Car manufacturer, two-wheeler manufacturers, and even three wheeler manufacturers. It also includes there sub-parts like Motor makers, light maker, seat maker, tire maker, etc. Energy Storage Maker - Battery makers, Battery pack assemblers, BMS Makers, etc. Energy suppliers - Charging s...
