  • Few words about SMD-Surface Mount components
    Electronic hobbyists have noticed that it is harder to find some particular electronic elements in DIP packages. Many microcontroller types are released only in SMT packages like QFP64, LQFP package series. Bigger IC's like AVR32 or FPGA where BGA packages comes with up to 672 and more connectors.
    Today electronics is shifting to SMT (Surface Mount Technology) or SMD (Surface Mount Devices) area. DIP domination has left behind.They won’t be vanished from electronics industries as there many areas where they are and will be successfully used. But as electronic circuit complexity grows, demand on PCB miniaturization increases there is no other way as [...]

  • Remove glossy reflections with crossed polarizers
    Simple example how 2 crossed polarizers can remove glossy reflections from surface.
    I used simple lamp directed to glossy table surface. One polarizer is in front of lamp and other is in front of lens of digital camera. Both polarizes are perpendicularly oriented to each other. How does this work? There is a theory about an angle on which the incident polarized electromagnetic waves turn reflects from [...]
