Creating a Custom DC Barrel Jack Schematic Symbol and PCB Footprint in Cadence (Includes Padstack Tutorial)
Creating a Custom Padstack (old)
Introduction
A padstack is a design for the exposed copper surface area for each hole or pad on the board where the component is mounted and soldered (see example, Figure 1). You may need to create a custom padstack when creating custom parts to ensure that the pad and hole are big enough to be reliable. This tutorial describes the manual creation of custom padstacks using the Pad Designer application.

Personal Projects and Education
-
Arduino Project Hub is where you can learn about what all other beginner or advanced embedded systems designers are building for their own personal needs. By now, most of you may have an Arduino kit from a previous class so the learning doesn’t have to stop after 304/314.

House of Quality
What is a House of Quality, and what is it used for?
The House of Quality diagram is used to translate customer requirements, market research, patent benchmarking, and technical benchmarking into product capabilities that can be targeted in a new product design. It is an integral component of the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method for translating qualitative user needs into quantitative requirements.
