My first two PCBs created while I try to teach myself electronics!
| The first started as a way to test ADCs and parallel I/O, and I turned it into a toy oscilloscope using some software I wrote for my Raspberry Pi. I didn't really understand op-amp input bias current and so it doesn't really work properly with the probe in 10x mode. The offset is huge, but I now understand the mistake. I also used one more op-amp than I really needed, and could've gotten away with cheaper ones, but it works up to 50MS/s! The second board is a buffered variable-gain amplifier test with voltage-variable gain and bias. I fell down a rabbit hole w/oscilloscopes and am working on making an improved 2-channel one with modern components, so I broke out some of the front end into a test board and just finished building it. It's a miracle the QFN op-amp works, I was sure I'd bridge something underneath it. There's a subtle crucial mistake in the second design, all you need to know to spot it is that the second amp is an LMH6505. It somehow does partially function still! [link] [comments] |

I designed my own Morse code trainer
| Demo at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKtSpykOBXY This is the Morse code trainer I designed. It runs on an AVR128DA48 microcontroller with a 2.42 inch 128x64 OLED and a custom-designed capacitive touch sensor PCB straight key. It also includes an NRF24L01+ radio module to allow 2-way send and receive of Morse code between nearby devices. The whole thing is powered by a rechargeable 3.7V 800mAh LiPo battery. I also designed the enclosure and 3D print it out of PET-G filament. Happy to answer any questions! [link] [comments] |
My home lab as a 13.7 year old
| Helloo I have been building my setup for a year or two i participated in isef last year. as a Iraqis second year in isef i really like my setup. any suggestions [link] [comments] |
I finally finished my z80 project.
| After about 3 months and a lot of dedication, I successfully completed my project. It's almost exactly Grant's project, the only modification is that the SRAM has 8KB, a 32KB one will arrive soon and, since the wiring was already done with it in mind, the change will be easy. [link] [comments] |
My workbench is a mix of DIY, modern and blast from the past equipment which still does its wonders.

23MHz oscillator without schematic. Random design.
| As you can see i have gone completely my own way to make this oscillator, it uses a 25KHz xtal and a 2n3904 transistor, 1M ohm pot and one 5k pot, the power supply comes from 15Vscaled down to 9V using 100k pot + 2n3904 + 1k resistor, i know the picture shows 10k but that didn't give me full voltage range so use 100k instead. I have no idea how it got this working and i am somewhat suprised that 2n3904 can oscillate at 20MHz+. [link] [comments] |
Simple way to make dual ±12V from a single +12V transformer.
| So this is how it made a single rail transformer in to a dual rail one withouth getting half the supply voltage like a railsplitter does. I haven't tested how mutch current i can draw from it yet but it seems to work atleast using multimeter. A tip for dual supply for op amps perhaps. [link] [comments] |
I am pretty sure this won't work.
| It didn't. I am thinking that the flux held this nicely in place until testing identified some issue. [link] [comments] |
Simple Trf radio reciever I made
| I made a simple trf radio reciever using two transistor as class A rf amps,it is not much but it is probably the only project I made without following any instructions,so it's special to me The audio quality is very clear and and the sound is good,it doesn't require any additional audio amplifier if you use standard 32 ohms earphones. (forgive me for the weird proportion of symbols in the diagram) [link] [comments] |

Electronic terms used by non-native English speakers
Once in a while, a non-native English speaker from North Europe posts in an electronic sub writing in perfect English but including terms that they incorrectly assume are used in English speaking countries. Having worked abroad, I recognize them. But others don't, so I am starting a list of such terms.
- Alimentator = Power supply
- Akku = Battery
- Condensator = Capacitor
- Elco, elko = Aluminum electrolytic capacitor
- Fabric hose = Woven-mesh wire loom
- Force = Current
- Handy = Cell phone
- Hot air drier = Heat gun
- Klemme = Wire cage, terminal block
- Platine = PCB
- Poti = Potentiometer
- Relais = Relay
- Single wire = Strand
- Tension= Voltage
- Trafo = Transformer
- Welding = Soldering
- Winding wire = Magnet wire
Please add more in the comments.
