SchmartBoard has launched Solder By Numbers, a social network and online electronic circuit design lab for electronics professionals, educators, students and hobbyists.
Professionals can find peers within the electronics industry and connect with them to share ideas and discuss electronics issues or employment opportunities. Educators can set up private rooms where they can have students create circuits online and communicate with them via VoIP with web cams to discuss the coursework or teach complete lessons. Students can enhance their learning experience with a plethora of tools and the ability to interact with others from around the world.
Hobbyists of all levels and special interest areas can create and share circuits and learn. Even “newbies” can visit the new site and now build electronic circuits because the site uses the same concept for building circuits as paint by numbers uses for art. With no previous experience users will be able to build electronic circuits. Users who apply for, and are authorized to, publish circuits in a Solder By Numbers format will earn income every time someone builds their circuit.
