Do open source libraries exist for VHDL the way they do for C++ or python?
When I'm approaching a problem in C++ or python, there are many libraries that exist which do the heavy lifting of my code. I'm thinking about GNU GSL, BOOST, or FFTW for C++, and NumPy or SciPy for python. In many ways, the fact that these…

Conventional way to manage and use the libraries in Altium
I guess I have been always doing it wrong way because I don't have to use Altium so often. Whenever I start a project I create a schematic library (*.schlib) and a PCB library (*pcblib). And then I copy the symbols and footprints from other projects…

How to make an Arduino play a sound
What is the best way to make an Arduino play a sound file? Is there a code library or shield I would need? How would I store this sound file on the Arduino's chip? Is isn't very big, so I would be concerned doing this.

Creating a component library which includes distinct elements
I'm learning custom library design in Altium Designer. I designed several libraries so far (BJTs, resistors, capacitors, etc), all worked without any problem. This time I tried to design an IC package (TL082 Opamp) which contains two distinct…

Altium: One resistor, or multiple resistors on your lib?
How you deal with resistors and capacitors in Altium?
If you have a single resistor/capacitor, it is easy later to change values, etc, but how do you deal with the BoM later?
But, if you have different components, i think it is a nightmare!! there…
