Rapid Prototyping PCBs With The Circuit GraverWalking around the alley at Hackaday Supercon 2024, we noticed an interesting project was getting quite a bit of attention, so we got nearer for a close-up. The ‘Circuit Graver’ by [Zach Fredin] is an unconventional PCB milling machine, utilizing many 3D printed parts, the familiar bed-slinger style Cartesian bot layout and a unique cutting head. The cutting tool, which started life as a tungsten carbide lathe tool, is held on a rotary (‘R’) axis but can also move vertically via a flexure-loaded carriage driven by a 13 kg servo motor.
The stocky flexure took a lot of iteration, as the build logs will show. Despite a wild goose chase attempting to measure the cutting force, a complete machine solution was found by simply making everything stiff enough to prevent the tool from chattering across the surface of the FR4 blank. Controlling and maintaining the rake angle was a critical parameter here. [Zach] actually took an additional step, which we likely wouldn’t have thought of, to have some copper blanks pre-fabricated to the required size and finished with an ENIG coating. It’s definitely a smart move!
To allow the production of PCB-class feature sizes compatible with a traditional PCB router, the cutting tool was sharpened to a much smaller point than would be used in a lathe using a stone. This reduced the point size sufficiently to allow feature sizes down to 4 mils, or at least that’s what initial characterization implied was viable.  As you can see from the build logs, [Zach] has achieved a repeatable enough process to allow building a simple circuit using an SMT 74HC595 and some 0402 LEDs to create an SAO for this year’s Supercon badge. Neat stuff!
We see a fair few PCB mills, some 3D printed, and some not. Here’s a nice one that fits in that former category. Milling PCBs is quite a good solution for the rapid prototyping of electronics. Here’s a guide about that.

All you need to know about Cubase 14: New features, reactions, pricing, and availabilitySteinberg has launched its latest iteration of Cubase, with new features and enhancements “designed to inspire”.
Cubase 14 is available immediately, and as usual, consists of three different versions: Cubase Elements is designed for those taking their first steps into production, with Cubase Artist intended for intermediate-level users, and the fully comprehensive Cubase Pro bringing all the features used on “countless, well-known recordings by high-profile artists”.

“Cubase 14 is designed to inspire creators to explore their creativity without limits,” comments Senior Marketing Manager, Matthias Quellmann, in a press release. “Guided by our Creativity First philosophy, Cubase 14 encourages producers to experiment, innovate, and take their music in exciting new directions.”
Given that Cubase 13 was awarded 10/10 in our 2023 review, we’re eager to take a look at all that’s on offer in its latest version. So, let’s dive in.
New features
Cubase 14 introduces six “intuitive” Modulators for its Pro users, which allow you to modulate any parameter of a track or channel that contains an audio signal. It also introduces the Drum Track, a new addition to Cubase’s track types. This is an “all-in-one environment” for the creation of complex drum patterns and offers comprehensive features that allow users to build custom drum kits (Pro and Artist).
The full MixConsole can also now be opened in the Lower Zone of the Project window, allowing channels to be rearranged via drag and drop (all versions). The event volume curve editing has been enhanced, so that users can optimise their audio with draw tools, and new effects include Shimmer (a reverb plugin), StudioDelay (an easy-to-use delay with access to built-in effects like modulation, distortion, reverb, and pitch), and Autofilter, which is designed for modulating its cutoff frequency via the input track or sidechain signal – all for both Pro and Artist users.
Cubase 14 also introduces Underwater, a new signal processor for building atmosphere and space for vocals or lead instruments with the “party next door” effect, and there’s a revamped Score Editor built on technology from Dorico too (all versions).
Take a closer look at the DAW in action below:

Reactions
Though Cubase 14 has only just landed, reactions among the community so far seem rather positive. Early trials bring praise for its new modulators, and for its simple upgrades, such as the ability to re-order channels from the mix console.

Dom Sigalas states of its new modulators, “I wanted something like this in Cubase for a while.. It’s not just here it’s made in the best way possible, the best implementation I’ve ever seen.”

Pricing and availability
Cubase 14’s Pro, Artist and Elements versions are now all available from resellers and directly via Steinberg online. Cubase Pro is priced at 579 euros / 579.99 US dollars, with Artist at 329 euros / 329.99 US dollars. Elements is just 99.99 euros / US dollars. Prices may vary according to location.
Customers who activated any tier Cubase Pro 13 or earlier versions from 9 October 2024, are eligible for a free, downloadable grace period update for their particular version.
