Arduino has revolutionized DIY electronics by making microcontroller programming easy and accessible. Whether you're building a smart home device, a wearable, or a robot, one thing remains true: prototyping can be messy without the right hardware. That’s where Schmartboard comes in. Schmartboard offers a series of solderable and solderless prototyping boards that make it easier to integrate [...]
…and How Schmartboard is Bridging the Gap Between Intelligence and Innovation Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are transforming the electronics design landscape. From intelligent routing to real-time simulation, these technologies are helping engineers design faster, test smarter, and innovate with unprecedented precision. But while AI can streamline the digital design process, real-world prototyping still [...]
When diving into electronics projects—whether you're prototyping, building a hobbyist device, or designing a small production run—one of the key decisions you'll face is choosing between soldered and solderless connections. Each approach has its pros and cons depending on your project's goals, complexity, and need for durability. And when it comes to soldering, especially with [...]
If you’ve ever found yourself staring down a fried pad on a PCB, wishing for a quick fix without waiting for a new board to arrive, you're not alone. Whether you're an engineer, a technician, or a hobbyist, having the right tools for repair and prototyping can mean the difference between staying on schedule and [...]
Whether you're a seasoned engineer or an electronics hobbyist, choosing the right PCB prototyping board is key to a successful design. Schmartboard has become a go-to brand for developers looking to prototype quickly and reliably — but with a variety of options available, how do you know which board is right for your project? Let’s break [...]
Introduction Electronics prototyping is an exciting and essential step in bringing ideas to life, whether you’re designing a simple circuit or developing a complex electronic device. Prototyping allows you to test and refine your designs before committing to a final product. However, getting started can be overwhelming if you don’t know what tools and components to [...]
Schmartboard has again hosted electrical engineering students from Fremont's Ohlone College. Schmartboard's facility and personnel are employed in helping teach the labs for the introductory courses. The students start by using Through Hole and then move into surface mount by the end of the course. [...]
I've met a lot of great digital designers. They can create great circuits, they can embed great code, they can manifest wonderful projects. They are awesome..until the need for something analog comes into play. Analog is that monster that people avoid, the 10,000 pound gorilla in the room, the unspeakable hurdle that keeps an engineer [...]
We have not blogged a lot this year. Partly due to the change in website. We will soon have a new family of products to release. They will be analog modules. Many engineers and DIYers know digital...very well. Analog alternatively is a strange planet where the rules of nature seem to have gone wacko. It [...]
Schmartboard will soon launch a new website. Our current website was built in 2003 and we bandaged it together over the years. Back in 2003 it was state of the art..today it might as well have a rotary dial on it.The new website will have the ability to search for a product number [...]
