Also, by enabling people to share design techniques, neat circuit ideas, inventive and creative use of components, this site has the potential to really "teach" people electronics, and to get the good practices out there.
Kudos!
Btw, a typo: the PCB validation says "too close to the boarder of the board" when it, of course, means "border".
The OSHPark boards were 3 units for $5, shipping included! The only drawback is that I had to wait about 3 weeks, but there are a lot of small boards that I don't need quick turnaround on. I'm definitely using them again!
You know what I’d love? A Codecademy for electronics. There are online courses and such but none seem to be as casual and easy to get into as sites like Codecademy and TryRuby.
It could work in firefox. Its just that we only test it in Chrome, because we have limited resources.
We love Codeacademy and have been thinking about building such a thing on circuits.io instead of tutorials. It's a lot more fun! We will have it one of these days.
Also the user-contributed part library so far has been pretty mixed in quality. Mostly it's junk. I hope this improves over time; I'm attempting to do my part.
