Overview
The complete solution for holding and measuring your circuit board.
PCBite is the perfect tool for handling your PCB during the design process. Powerful magnets combined with a stainless steel base plate provide flexibility, mobility and user-friendliness. The holder can easily be relocated to deal with printed circuit boards of different shapes and sizes. The probe is sturdy yet flexible and can be used for immediate measurements or totally hands-free operations with your multimeter or another preferred tool.
It comes with the great PCBite holders, which are very useful to fasten a PCB for soldering, rework or analysis.The metal plate has a mirror finish which helps to see the bottom part of the board you're working on. The probes come with a very precise gold needle tip. The tip contains a spring like a pogo pin, as a result, it keeps an equal amount of pressure on the board and does not move if there are vibrations or if you carefully move the board around.
With each probe, there is also a different needle with a crown tip. This alternative tip is more like a really tiny fork to be placed on small wires and pins. Additionally, there are two pin headers attached to the probe, which makes it very easy to connect them to any kind of equipment.

After becoming frustrated at his lack of archery skills and not wanting to spend an eternity practicing getting better, Shane Wighton (known as Stuff Made Here on YouTube) sought to build a rig that could automatically correct his aim for the perfect shot every time. The device is comprised of a rigid sleeve that fits over the wearer’s forearm, along with a pair of stepper motors that can adjust where the bow is pointing either vertically or horizontally via a rack-and-pinion. These motors are driven by an Adafruit microcontroller running CircuitPython and a couple of motor driver modules that provide the necessary current. But that's not all, he also created a small rig that uses an Arduino Uno and servo motor to autonomously fling targets into the air. Target tracking is achieved by having a set of eight OptiTrack cameras around the room monitor the space for tiny gray spheres, and through the use of a special triangulation algorithm, they can accurately determine where both the arrow is pointing and where the target is in 3D space. Initially, the system missed all of its shots due to poor software and the wrong kind of bow, so Wighton completely rewrote his program and switched to a compound bow instead. Once everything had been corrected, the software was able to predict where a flying target would end up according to its speed, and thus had the ability to intercept it. The Auto-Aiming Bow could also hit a target the size of a 3mm-wide circle with scary precision.
