    using SATA for circuit comunication

    Board space is very important in my situation, so the SATA connector is the smallest mass produced cable/connector that fits my pin counts, with the least twisted pairs. RJ45 was a candidate and would have been selected if I had differential pairs. @FvM I am reassigning the SATA port and cable...

    using SATA for circuit comunication

    I am making a hand held box that has a SN74LS674, 10mhz crystal, and a bunch of switches to set the data bits. I am trying to have this box output a serial data string to the SPI port on a digital pot that is on a PCB. I was looking at using a computer SATA port and SATA cables to link the box...

    orcad pcb editor placing

    I have Orcad 15.6, I am ready to place parts. Is there a way to automatically place a row of resisters of my choosing? I would like to have the row be uniform, and all the resisters have the same footprint.

    OrCAD Capture errors about missing PCB Footprint property

    So I go to make the netlist and I get a repeating errors "#78 ERROR(ORCAP-36002): Property "PCB Footprint" missing from instance R40: SCHEMATIC1, PAGE2 (5.80, 1.00)." This happens on resisters, diodes, relays, and capacitors. What is this error and how do I fix it? EDIT: i did fill in the PCB...

    Orcad PCB editor silk screen ref des

    So im using Orcad PCB editor 16.5. I placed a reference designator on the silkscreen layer by using the "label refdes" button. will the reference designator that I put on the silkscreen layer actually be printed on the physical PCB by the manufacturer?
