What's The Most Difficult Part For You When Doing Electronic Hardware Projects?

04/08/2018 10:55 PM

Completing an electronic hardware project is something really interesting in life for electronic makers, but it is not so easy because it involves too many techniques and processes like PCB design, PCB fabrication and assembly, enclosure prototyping and logistics and so on... So, what's the most difficult part that you wanna God or someone could help you make it when doing an electronic hardware project? Do you want a one-stop solution to your electronic hardware project?

Are you selling, "a one-stop solution to your electronic hardware project?"

Having done "electronic hardware projects", I'd say your question is too complex for a simple answer.

A one stop solution sounds too expensive to be practical.

Hi, Here one-stop solution means a whole set of service for bringing a new electronic hardware to life from PCB design, PCB fabrication, PCB assembly, mechanical service(for enclosure prototyping), logistics. If you need help in just some of above processes such as PCB design, that's ok we could only provide PCB design service for you; If you need all of them for example you have an awesome hardware idea and want to make it come true, but you have little knowledge of the practical operations, so you may need a whole set of service to carry out your hardware project, that's one-stop solution.

No. The work here is based on PLCs.

.... Do you want a one-stop solution ...."

.

Why is the bar always set at 'one'.

It would be refreshing to see a 'no stop' solution.

For another matter, it is a bit presumptuous to go on the basis that we need to be traveling and hence would need to stop. How about leave our travels to us?

You could offer the 'stop or not, we wouldn't be so presumptuous as to interfere with your travels solution' as a 'solution'.

Is it a solution or a suspension? Sometimes it's hard to tell. At the bar, I always ask for two.

I am being a complete ass....?

".... come in, Kettle. Over." called Pot, sitting alone in the dark, so angry he was boing over. Pot didn't know why he was so angry, but he knew for certain, whatever the reason, it was definitely Kettle's fault.

.

How about just forget about me for a while, Pot. Go outside and see how your mohogany boards are drying.

IMHO being a " complete " ass is a compliment.

Whereas half an ass is an insult.

Wow, these AI advertising bots are getting real good. Very coherent, with a lead in before posting the website. The God reference seems a bit needy though.

elecrow Blatant commercial exploitation!

Here's that term, not understood by some here.

One-stop Solution for Your Hardware Project - Elecrow Technology

I've used services like this. To fab and populate boards, not for the design.

Maybe if you had a mature, proven design and were just shopping for price.

Located in China would be a difficult hurdle for me to overcome for anything but the most solid, proven design.

Events of the last two years prove that bots have had a devastating, negative impact on our lives in general, and those of other countries. National political elections, technical web sites, banks, credit cards, health care providers, credit bureaus are all being compromised before our very eyes.

Is there any remedy? Not from those with the power to fix it. We're screwed!

I never had any luck with complex answers to Santa's "What do want for Xmas?" questions. But, it's good to know that somebody's asking.

I find surface mount pad repair most challenging because circuit traces eventually depleted due to improper part removal techniques. Also sometimes the replacement of a few sophisticated components leaves distortion on the board as well. I was in a fix situation a couple of months back when I got a mini project of repairing Surface Mount Pad of a local company. I tried my best to do it but don’t know what happened. It became more complicated when I started it to repair. Then I approached an online PCB repair company in this regard from where I got very useful help which helps me to finish that project without more delay.

I would like to address a phenomenon that started a very long time ago, that the industrial revolution amplified. As people relied more and more on the horse for daily life, and as they started congregating in cities, they also relied more and more on putting blinders on those horses to keep them from being distracted/startled. Then, the industrial revolution gave growth to specialists and mass production. And, we started to put "blinders" on ourselves. This lead to an ignoring of our natural peripheral vision/awareness.

Big buisness started to cater to a larger customer base, leaving the "small guy" out of the picture. By definition, Research & Development is a minority (not the main-stream establishment). Therefore, only Big Buisness had the resources for it. And also, major developments began to only grow between major companies. Buisness aimed at the small guy (such as Radio Shack, Heath Kit, Edmund's, etc) struggled and went out of buisness.

I'd like to restore our natural peripheral vision/awareness to ourselves/buisnesses, by suggesting that buisnesses be more observant/aware of who else can benefit from their products other than their main/large base/constituents. If those buisnesses would at least also produce adapters/interfaces/connectors/couplers and tools that would support those products to others who might not otherwise have a use for them, then R&D would be opened up to a much larger base. That would lead to more R&D/innovation and a better quality of life to more people. We shouldn't limit R&D to only those with limited vision/awareness. We shouldn't limit prosperity to the top 1%, while the rest of us are turned into robots/horses/beasts-of-burden. As the United Negro College Fund said, "A mind is a terrible thing to waste.". Let's not waste it. Related: "Will out-sources all of our thinking power to A(rtificial) I(ntelligence) turn our brains into tapioca pudding?".

Back in the day, a horse without blinders could have been our "designated driver" for when we became too drunk to drive, and could have brought us home alive. Back then, autonomous/self-driving cars were not needed. We owe a lot to the horse. Let's be a little more like them. That would not be "going backwards".
