Where to buy Arduino near San Francisco??

I've searched and searched and can't find any electronics stores in the SF Bay Area that sell microcomputers.

Anyone have a lead on a brick and mortar store that I can drive to and purchase an Arduino? I live halfway between San Francisco and San Jose.




I am pretty new to arduino and I am starting to work on a project. I am watching a tutorial and am wondering what this part at the top right of this breadboard is.

No ESD protection in the office

No ESD protection in the office

I work at my customer site regularly to help debug, test, and fix prototype electronic modules (automotive control units).

They work in a carpeted office space with zero ESD protection. My company’s project manager told them it is necessary, otherwise our company wouldn’t be responsible for ESD damage. Customer asked for recommendations and we sent some generic ESD mats and wristband links. 1 year later and still nothing though. Customer engineers claim they’ve worked on these types of parts for decades and never damaged anything due to ESD.

Since I have to work here regularly, it sucks. When something doesn’t work properly, I always think “darn, it might be impossible to find out the reason if it is ESD this time”

What to do?

In the winter, I’d feel static shocks around the office at least a few times a week…

How much to worry about bends and kinks in the traces

Hello!

I am fairly novice to PCB design, and one of my insecurities right now is to not make the traces with too many bends and kinks, I feel like the traces are shitty when I introduce these. So the interfaces I am routing is SPI, I2C, UART and QSPI, all connected to a MCU.

In general, can you give me some intuition about how much you should/shouldn't route these bends/kinks? Is it really no big deal? I mean I have seen some PCBs with DDR memory and/or BGA chips with hundreds of pins, and all those traces have a shit ton of bends, especially since they need to do length matching.

So how should one think about this? Is length (not too long) more important? Or not too many vias?
