September 2020 Updates

Added info about board packages to the Arduino page.

Added info about schematic page templates to the A Beginners Intro To KiCAD page.

Added support for the search service Algolia.

The Algolia logo.

Updated information about the BC range of BJTs on the Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) page.

Added more online simulation tools to the Circuit Simulation page.

Added a new page on 555 Timer Circuits. Added a 555 timer calculator to NinjaCalc (which is also embedded on the 555 Timer Circuits page).

UPDATE 2021-05-22: The 555 timer info has been moved to the Timers And Multivibrators page.

Updated the Mbed Studio page.

Added a page on the EasyScale communication protocol.

Migrated NinjaCalc from a Vue.js based app to Next.js/React based app. This took quite a long time to migrate, I’m estimating about 32 hours to migrate all functionality except for two calculators to Next.js. Deployments are now automatically done by Vercel (I’m using the “Hobby” tier which is free forever). Unit/functional CICD testing has also been added with GitHub Actions. Commit https://github.com/gbmhunter/NinjaCalc/commit/458137fb79237562acb8a3f3d09a13d30438bb49 was the beginning of the migration.

Updated the Cables page with more information on cable insulation materials and combined power/data cables.

Added a Cable Gauge Calculator to the NinjaCalc app.
