DytSpectrumOwl PCB Inspection Thermal Camera | Voltlog 384
Join me in this video to learn more about the DytSpectrumOwl CA-10 PCB inspection thermal camera which in my opinion is a game changer when it comes to PCB thermal inspection. That 25hz refresh rate, 260*200px resolution and the manual focus adjustment makes it the perfect tool for the job but there is more and it’s all reviewed in the video.
This video is mostly a time-lapse of me doing the PCB layout for the Dark Load project that I am working on. However during the first minutes of the video I am commenting and giving some hints on some design decisions that I make during layout. This entire design is open source and it will be shared once I have it working but for now it’s still quite beta and I don’t want to release something that is potentially not working or might contain errors.
You can also watch me assemble this pcb here:

High quality PCB Services https://pcbway.com You might ask yourself what project templates are and whether you need them or not. Well the answer depends, but if you work on a lot of different projects that share a common starting point, like say for example how I’m creating multiple internet of things boards and modules that all have some parts in common like the ESP32 processor, the VoltLink connector for programming the boards as well as a few other bits and pieces like decoupling capacitors, pull-up resistors, mounting holes, fiducials, board config, schematic config and the list can go on and on depending on the particular setup that you are running and the projects that you are building.

#VoltLog #Kicad6 #Templates
Your first option in this case is to start over, with every single project and manually add your ESP32, the Voltlink connector, manually assign names to all of the wires, annotate the schematic, assign footprints, move to board editor, edit standard net class, input varioust track and via sizes and so on but that can take anywhere from 15-20 mins up to a couple of hours depending on how complex your project is and how much stuff it shares with previous projects, at least that’s what I’ve noticed in my experience.
The second option is to just copy and paste a previous project and use that as a starting point, then open the newly created copy and start deleting the stuff that you don’t need and I’ve used to do that to save time but your still wasting time for deleting the unwanted stuff in both schematic and board editor as well as for editing any project related configuration in the schematic or board editor.
The third option and the most elegant one is to create a template. Kicad supports templates, it even comes with a few built-in ones for some popular projects and it’s quite easy to create and use them and if you have any kind of workflow that resembles mine, it can really save you time on each new project that you create
