Planning on using Meshtastic, which I believe is pre-programmed on it. Pretty new to this tech.

Well either way, thanks again. Will make the article (and my PCB process) much better! πŸ’ͺ

Do you know when that was implemented? Working on an article, so that would be useful info for me.

Neat. Where do I find this? (I have 9.0.3, hopefully that's updated enough)

Thinking I might start going by "Jeremy Apple"

Thoughts?

Anyone know of a @kicad.org extension for easily putting chamfers and fillets on a PCB?

Here's your occasional reminder that I have been posting on my Substack about obscure, forgotten or overlooked #retrogames for awhile now, and I'm still just highlighting what I found from the 1980s!

I'd love for you to subscribe. It's free, it's fun and explores PC, console and arcade games!

Improve Your Video Quality With These Camera Mounting Tips! Holding your camera may seem like a small thing, but solo-filming your projects, products, and life means careful camera positioning. What works for me after years of practice.

TFW you just had a good month work-wise, but now it's the next month, and have projects that aren't due for a while, and are trying to figure out what to work on.

Working on a Microcontroller Footprints 101 article. Formats I'm going to include are:

-DIP
-SOIC
-QFP
-QFN
-BGA

Anything else I should talk about? I know that's not all-inclusive, but trying to hit the highlights.

Probably not bad advice generally, but I imagine that would apply to just about everywhere.
