circuit boards

pictures/diagrams of circuit boards. i don’t actually know how they work, i just like looking at them.

this basically is an impromptu aesthetics thread because that’s the only way i was ever going to make one

particularly after striking uses of colour

this is actually (or at least looks like) a bare chip, not a circuit board. no idea what it’s for, but i can tell you that those octagon things are inductors.

These are all so much better than the official Windows set of desktop backgrounds of the same thing basically.

My Bro made some college art by composing broken machine components and adding colored light. He has more with actual circuit boards but I cant find em.

still trying to work out what to do with it but it turns out a bunch of Sony’s old service manuals back in the day were distributed in fully vector PDF format, so dumping out the paths is trivial, meaning I have very high-fidelity SVG maps (with enough nodes to bring a modern PC to its knees because the conversion from PDF is, not especially efficient) of a PlayStation 2 motherboard

I was thinking it’d make a cool shirt but I think it’s actually too intricate to be printed like that so maybe it’s just a cool thing to have

there’s also an assembly diagram which might be a better candidate for making a shirt, but it’s still pretty borderline and toeing the line off offtopic

This forum does not give a shit about off topic posts and you are heavily encouraged to post whatever cool stuff that’s kinda related
