there will be only one US semiconductor company, and it will be Rochester Electronics.

Crimson and clover, over and over.

**Making Ferrite Core Inductors at Home** New post in which I walk through how to make inductors, and how the construction of an inductor impacts its attributes, particularly in the case of using a core material with high magnetic permeability. danielmangum.com/posts/making...

I put this nifty little board (sensor watch lite) in my Casio watch today

Here's what a socket looks like for chip scale packages. Each one is custom made for a given chip package. A couple samples of the 0.4mm pitch Baochip CSP devices are laid out on the lower rim of the socket for size reference.

The new AirTags 2 just arrived! Time to take them apart 🧵

Years ago I got the platinum trophy for Hollow Knight. Revisiting that challenge and I don't have any memory of doing the Pantheons... But wow, Pantheon of the Sage is haaard! I beat Zote after 3 tries but immediately fell to Uumuu.

feast your optical orbs on this beautiful LN3-2A aircraft gimbal! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ak5S...

did anyone else not know epubs are just a zip file of html/css!? (new wip project is a epub reader that will hopefuly support annotations, ideally i could merge or figure out what differentiates it from henry.ink, tho i feel private small group inline chats is valuable over public atproto posts)

Do the different color of skittles mean they have different flavors?

I just finished the Path of Pain in #HollowKnight. This is just the very end of it; some of the hardest platforming I've done and the reason I skipped this the first time through.

It has been 0 days since I forgot i2c pullups. 🥲

This couple have been amazing supporters of the arts (and so many more non-profits) here in Madison. Jerry will be remembered long beyond his time with us.

Every year, Advent of Code makes my brain think about algebra. Of course this is a good thing, but I do find it a tad less fun than the pure coding challenges.

Season 2 episode 7 of The Office, entitled "The Client", is the greatest single episode of comedic television ever made. From Tim Meadows' performance, to the Threat Level Midnight table read, to chemistry between Michael and Jan... Perfection. Fight me.

Wow, I did not realize that these huge pendulums have electromagnets to keep them swinging, or that it takes about 7 seconds for each swing. Neat!

Added the USB C PCB edge connector to the DSPico cart to replace the micro USB port. I'll see how it goes and then fork it. All credit to github.com/AnasMalas/pc... and github.com/LNH-team/dsp...

It's not stupid if it works 😅 Avoiding soldering down a connector for the one time operation of burning fuses, and loading bootloader/firmware for some UsbGpib adapters. github.com/xyphro/UsbGpib

@poofjunior.bsky.social hey, I remember you, welcome to bsky!

More of this favorite...with presents this time.

Snowflakes at The Chicago Cultural Center.

Even though I have special stencil wipes, any future paste prints will never be as clean as that first one...

The holidays are a great time to do some personal development (hacking) projects. Dylan and @szczys.bsky.social rebuilt a meme machine on top of @adafruit.com's MagTag board Read more about the project and view the full video here: blog.golioth.io/a-physical-m...

#39C3 is about to be very.. Cool

I have played over 200 Nutcrackers. And yet it never gets old so see the faces of pure joy in the first couple rows when Mother Ginger is on stage. What a gift to see so many people at their happiest.

A 22mm socket fits on the Tabasco cap just in case anybody needs to know that. Not sure what the torque specs are though.

important 3d prints today

I like to surprise my friends at Thanksgiving with custom place cards, & this year I designed these tiny cinema marquee place cards. The design is perfect for 3D printing, since I needed enough for everyone & I needed them FAST. They snap fit together & use an LED noodle to give that perfect glow.

Neat :)

While awaiting the next Pluribus episode I'm rewatching the Long Way Round. You may not be into motorcycling (I'm certainly not) but you will love the gritty adventure time of traversing the wild parts of Asia back in 2004. It's a can't miss! tv.apple.com/us/show/long...

Ridiculous project of the week: Unhappy with the 2MB storage limitation on Pico Zero and Tiny boards, I decided I needed more. A random discarded 16MB chip should enough!

There is cruelty, and then there is Team Cherry.

Hackday at @golioth.io and @szczys.bsky.social is spreading propaganda that I endorse.

I think @golioth.io may be the first custom Brick in @officialarduino.bsky.social App Lab 👀 We make use of both the BLE and Wi-Fi connectivity on the UNO Q to proxy data for BLE peripherals, stream data from attached sensors, and perform network-based positioning with Golioth Location!
