What are your circuit design goals for 2026?

You’ve got the basics covered, but there’s always something new to learn. What skill are you planning to focus on this year? PCB layout, power electronics, or RF circuits? Share your 2026 learning goals with us!

I've dabbled a bit in RF circuits, mostly for fun with some small transmitters, but this year I want to dig into both the theory and practical design. Getting clean signals over distance seems challenging but definitely worth it.

I've been playing around with basic circuits for a few years now, but this year I'm eager to really get into PCB layout. Making my designs tidy and reliable has been tough, and I can't wait to see my boards actually perform as I expect.

I’m trying to avoid dipping into anything new until I get a few of these open projects completed (I’ll probably brag when it happens), but I hope to learn to weld and to get into some 3D printing.

Cool! PCB layout is where the magic happens.

It's always a good feeling to wrap up those open projects. Welding and 3D printing? Wow, you'll deserve bragging rights for sure.
