Many of the projects I plan to cover in the future include designing and building custom PCBs\. This is the first post in a series where I’ll be covering how to make a simple PCB, this post in particular covers the process of creating the schematic for the PCB\. After this series is complete I’ll begin covering projects like my weather station, and a custom DDS function generator\.

# PCB design requirements

For this series I will be covering the process of making a PCB that connects a Particle Photon to an Adafruit RFM6HCW9 900MHz radio module\.This is a very simple board which will give you a good introduction to PCB design\. I will be using this same board as the indoor weather data receiver for my weather station project\. [\[Read More\]](https://quade.co/2017/pcb-schematic/)

I have used several power sources for my projects over the years\. Things like wall warts, USB ports, ATX power supplies, and a laptop power supply plugged into a buck converter\. These power sources are functional, but not ideal\. This post covers the creation of a better bench power supply using a DPS5005 front end, and a LRS\-150\-48 power supply back end\.

# My bench power supply requirements

Here’s a list of things I was looking for in a power supply\. I wanted something that was very flexible, so that it could be used for a wide variety of circuits\. [\[Read More\]](https://quade.co/2017/diy-bench-power-supply/)
