Learn KiCad with Peter Dalmaris
The Academy Pro Box "Design PCBs like a Pro" offers a complete, structured training programme in PCB design, combining online learning with practical application. Based on Peter Dalmaris’ KiCad course, the 15-week programme integrates video lessons, printed materials (2 books), and hands-on projects to ensure participants not only understand the theory but also develop the skills to apply it in practice.
Unlike standard courses, the Academy Pro Box provides a guided learning path with weekly milestones and physical components to design, test, and produce working PCBs. This approach supports a deeper learning experience and better knowledge retention.
The box is ideal for engineers, students, and professionals who want to develop practical PCB design expertise using open-source tools. With the added option to have their final project manufactured, participants complete the programme with real results – ready for use, testing, or further development.

This 14-way MonoDAQ-compatible connector allows the user to create, reuse and archive test fixtures instead of rewiring the connector furnished with the MonoDAQ everytime a measurement or test has to be repeated. Helps the user to build a library of plug-and-play test setups. Features Time saving push-in connection, tools not required Defined contact force ensures that contact remains stable over the long term Intuitive use through colour coded actuation lever Operation and conductor connection from one direction enable integration into front of device All necessary technical data can be found here.
Stickvise PCB Vise is a low-profile holder that keeps your circuit board flat for soldering, rework, probing, and testing.
With Stickvise, your PCB stays at table level, providing a stable and comfortable working position. This design helps reduce strain on your arms and ensures precise soldering.

Solder Paste Dispensing and Reflow All-in-One
The Voltera V-One creates two-layer prototype circuit boards on your desk. Gerber files go in, printed circuit boards come out. The dispenser lays down a silver-based conductive ink to print your circuit right before your eyes. Assembling traditional and additive boards is easy with the V-One’s solder paste dispensing and reflow features. Simply mount your board on the print bed and import your Gerber file into Voltera’s software.
No more stencils required
Voltera’s software is designed to be understood easily. From importing your Gerber files to the moment you press print, the software safely walks you through each step.

The default configuration holds a mini breadboard (included), an SD card adapter, 2x micro SD cards, 2x USB devices, a micro-USB shim and of course the Raspberry Pi Zero itself.
Users can decide to use the micro-USB shim slot to hold a micro-HDMI adapter, or you may want to hold a Portsplus or similar GPIO reference card in the SD adapter slot. You can choose to store your USB micro-SD card reader or even other larger USB devices such as the USBDoctor. Use it in whatever way works best for you.
All of the Raspberry Pi Zero ports are accessible from the ZeroDock, including the camera port and reset/composite pin header. pHATs are also not obstructed, so you’re free to prototype with your favourite add-on boards.
The case is a stylish mix of clear and black acrylic layers, black fixings and a clear breadboard, fitting in well alongside most desktop PCs/monitors.
Assembly guide available here.
