Good Stuff
I have created this space to share a lot of materials that I have been accumulating during the years. Here we have some articles, application notes, tutorials, books which I was lucky to find out, a lot of courses related to electronics engineering and product development. I'm also proud of sharing my Altium components library which contains more than 1000 parts classified with schematic symbols, pcb footprints and colorful detailed 3D models.
