MultiSIM BLUE and the Homebrewed Circuit Board
On September 18, 2015 in MultiSIM BLUE, Open Source by Mike Parks
Mike Parks
It’s a great time to be an electronics engineer and an even better time to be a weekend warrior tinkerer. The line between these two worlds is rapidly evaporating as the tools that enable circuit design plummet in cost and skyrocket in capability. The most important thing that a product can do for us is to streamline our workflow while still delivering high quality results.
