In lack of bigger capacitors.

In lack of bigger capacitors.

Building a dual rail power supply 0-40v and didn't have any 4700uf or bigger capacitors so a row of 1000x2 + 680x2 + 470x2 + 330x2 + 220x4 + 100x2 for a total of 6 040 will have to do.

EasyEDA offline app security risk!

EasyEDA offline app security risk!

Just a heads-up: be very careful when installing software that asks you to disable or bypass your system's security features.

I came across this in the official documentation for the offline EasyEDA app — they explicitly instruct users to bypass built-in protections:

https://oshwlab.com/forum/post/3695f3a2f9694de4b1b4cfa839a9a03e

Am I the only one who finds this not just unprofessional, but a serious security risk. Especially for users who might not fully understand the implications.

Curious to hear what others think.

I jankily rotated an LCD

I was modifying a cheap handheld oscilloscope to fit in my diy modular synth but the horizontal layout was a bit too wide for my liking so I did this to rotate the screen 90° ☠️

Intel D2616 I2616 Eprom (MASK PROM)

These were early version of mask roms from the late 70's if you remove the epoxy over the crystal they become Intel D2716 can erase them and program again.

My IC Chip and Passive's Score From the Tektronix Factory Surplus (RAMS) Store.

Tons of IC's.. So Far 6.5 hours sorting and backing up programmable chips. I live Stream day 1 rather boring https://youtube.com/live/6U9ADQovUoY Day 2 Soon. I sorted out all the programmables near the end and will do another day of backups soon. Some devices were not supported on my Xeltek or i did not have the adapters. So i need to Bust out the BPM Microsytems 1710.

Needed a longer FPC cable on a whim

Needed a longer FPC cable on a whim

We don’t really do micro soldering at work so had to do it without a microscope. I did however seal the solder points with epoxy after testing for shorts.

PicoDucky - A RP2350 HID/Security Key

PicoDucky is a minimal RP2350 board designed to be used as a Rubber Ducky (HID Device) or even a Security key! It's tiny and compact and can be plugged directly into any USB Type-A ports.

The AtariGraph, a portable 1920s steampunk-inspired version of the Atari 2600, using a modified circuit from an Atari 2600 Junior

The AtariGraph, a portable 1920s steampunk-inspired version of the Atari 2600, using a modified circuit from an Atari 2600 Junior

I built this two years ago over the course of several months. The initial idea was to build my own portable Atari 2600 as I've seen other people do, but with my own spin. It kind of morphed into a 1920s steampunk project, when I wondered what the Atari would look like if it were designed and built in 1926. So I used and old gauge, old dial, brass button, metal toggle switches, and terminology to label it. I used the screen from a portable LCD TV and the speaker from a computer speaker. The battery is a new Lithium Ion rechargeable. The Atari itself was an Atari Junior, with wires remoted out to the switches and controls. The circuit had to have some modifications for the battery input and controls.

"Version 2" had all new labels as can be seen in the photos, and I added a blinking/flashing orange light inside to add some color to the inside.

The concept is that the game cartridges are called "Novelties." Inside each novelty is a spinning disk like a record. The electromechanical device inside the case reads the information on the disc and projects it onto the screen. The "stick" on the upper right controls the movement, and the button on the left is the joystick button. The AtariGraph is from "phonograph."

It plays any Atari 2600 game and has an input for a second joystick.

It's basically a usable work of art. I can't imagine making a second one.

Finally used a RadioShack IC proto-board that I've had for years

After all these years I was pleased to finally make use of an old RadioShack DIP-1 IC proto-board that I had tucked away in a box! It was perfect for a mini Arduino shield when I built this cardboard Puzzle Bobble controller.

Made tweezer probes for my multimeter.

Know you can buy these, but this cost next to nothing. The probes are pin headers (without the little holding square thing, don't know what to call em), the Y shape they make fit perfectly around the tweezer center. Cheap plastic tweezers from Walmart worked just fine. Only purchase was the plugs. Amazingly helpful for testing SMD components on boards due to one handed operation.
