At RF, your circuit stops being “small” compared to the signal - and everything changes. New video interview about RF design, VNAs, simulation, and on-chip antennas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xSA...

Work on 🏝️ Isle #FPGA computer input chapter continues. Here I’m testing UART with #ULX3S dev board.

2/3) Amazingly my two entries work: 'Warp' and 'WhyNot' ; 'Warp' is my entry to the demoscene competition and 'WhyNot' was a crazy "let's do it in one day" last minute entry. Both work on actual ASIC!! How cool is that? Preview of Warp: youtu.be/ELOYGwZgHnw

Finally, we’re ready to announce the demoscene competition winners! 🎉 Join us live on Wednesday the 11th at 19:00 CET to find out who won—and to hear how our amazing judges chose the winners. Click “Notify me” on the stream to get an alert when we go live: www.youtube.com/live/il_qKTi...

We sent an ASIC to space. Then we asked a nuclear engineer what would happen to it. A deep dive into radiation, bit flips, orbital hot spots, and what it really takes for silicon to survive in low Earth orbit. youtu.be/FJE5eBg7iQ4

🚨Our film is up We spent months making this👇 About how Britain shut down many of the factories we need to feed us and defend us. Will have more to say on it in due course but in the meantime - pls watch, share and let me know what you think youtu.be/PQ3hT8tqZgo?...

Oh hey, it's #portfolioDay ! I'm bleeptrack, a Creative Technologist and Artist focusing on tangible/interactive #generative art. I enjoy using all sorts of digital fabrication (pen plotter, lasercutter, CNC, you name it) and also open sourcing my projects. #creativecoding #procedural

I interviewed Parth Thakkar, now a firmware engineer at Apple, about how he taught himself #embedded systems beyond university classes. His story is a great reminder that consistency and hands-on work can matter more than credentials. 👇 shawnhymel.com/3133/buildin... #electronics #jobs
