Maker's Corner

OSCAR 1

PCBs ready to be dip soldered. There's something very satisfying about seeing 200 boards lined up.

So, this is FEMM - a Finite Element Model Magnetics solver. Free, and can accept DXF's (handy for dumping in things like inductor cross sectional drawings...) Bit of a clunky UX, but did I mention it's free? Zero to kinda comfortable with it in an eve! femm.info

@davidleavitt I do already.

Would you be willing to move to and work in another country?

@eevblog Pretty much. Changes by plus minus 0.01mA.

@Makers_Corner Very strange, never seen that before. Always the same value?

@eevblog what do reckon is going on here? Started doing this on Friday. It randomly changes to this when I'm measuring a current.

If you could travel to any place on Earth, where would you go?

Do you know why?

We can all dream...

@Mirko_DIY I also started at 13, but 19 years earlier.

@jaydcarlson We have a box of cables where red is ground and black is +5v.

When wiring a power/diff-pair cable assembly, I always try to use the same color scheme as USB so I don't have to look it up, but I inevitably forget what the color scheme is, look it up, and end up more confused than before.

@eevblog It seems to be very algorithm specific. I have 3 Twitter accounts. This one is focused on tech. Lots of doom and gloom on this one. None at all on the other 2.

Well, I just woke up and it's the next day and Twitter still works. It's almost as if all the doom and gloom trending hashtags were bullshit...

Ups! That signal fur sure is not legal... #electronica #aaronia

@NoContextBrits The Leg of Mutton and Cauliflower

What’s the most random name for a pub you’ve ever seen?

When you are an electronics engineer, and your daughter wants to be a Transformer for Halloween

@FriendlyWire That's dedication.

No, I will not admit how long this took...
