it's breakout board season😭 (NNNI26 for €10 off at @aisler.net!)

Rapid Registration stencils are highly recommended

is there anything to look forward to in the mid-long-term (20 or 30 years)? I need some motivation ig

@aisler.net 's PCBs under the microscope - the sharpness of the solder mask is amazing (1 mm ruler on the side for scale in the second picture)

first PCBs of the year from @aisler.net are here! 🎉 (NNNI26 for €10 off this entire year!)

happy new year! I hope 2026 is filled with a ton of cool electronics and I have a new @aisler.net coupon code: NNNI26 for €10 off! 🥳

this has got to be my funniest TMT creation

can't have too many of these

what do I do when I quickly need to order adapter boards for a project? @aisler.net, of course! (last two weeks of NNNI25 for €10 off!🤗)

@aisler.net 's amazing PCBs 😗 (NNNI25 is valid till the end of 2025!)

I look at this thing I (re)created and I say to myself "I wish Ronald Swerlein was alive"

does this explain why when asking for help with programming, people get flamed and end up start a tribal war amongst the "experts", who then devolve into personal name-calling, but when asking for help with electronics, 3 EEs civilly discuss ideas and present one unified solution

👀

thanks @aisler.net !

nothing brings me more joy than working on a project

Currency.

I get the new announcement and all that, but does anyone seriously still use Arduino boards or the IDE? (RP2 shill here)

huge shout-out to @gimpofficial.bsky.social, it's made my obsessive scope shot editing possible, pixel-by-pixel (trying to replicate what AoE did, maybe with my own twist) (colours are just me playing around)

have the people who keep recommending FPGAs for fast ADC sampling never heard of the RP2 family and PIO😒 (processing at that speed becomes a question mark though 🥴)

today I embraced chaos and started a new project despite having 39203342 unfinished ones

meanwhile rpi be like: "who wants to buy my cheap chips/boards?" *everyone* "who wants to install my lightweight (open-source) SDK?" *everyone*

just tested the TLV1871, looks like it's a worthy successor to the LM311! the package is a bit of a handful to solder though, but otherwise I love the ±15 V capability and the push pull output

now I can have another shot at testing the comparator... thanks @aisler.net 😋 (NNNI25 for €10 off!)

treats from @aisler.net 😋 (NNNI25 for €10 off)

I made a silly noob mistake and fried a brand new comparator... but that's another chance to redo the board (with input dividers so I can set a threshold!) and send it off to @aisler.net 😋

it never fails to amaze me how uni turns something as interesting as electronics into THE most boring mathematical slop

thanks @aisler.net ! (NNNI25 for €10 off 😜)

this one ended up slightly weird because I want MAXIMUM decoupling for the LT1016 ultrafast comparator

this idea might be a dud, at least the way I've implemented it here... whoops!

the sampling voltage tracker samples voltages and tracks!

another weekend another side project

ddl.red/hate-ai 👀

it feels so nice to finally have a project for parts I've had lying around for ages... I need adapters though, I wonder where to go😏

here's another waveform, I've posted a spice simulation of this before and it's so cool to see this in real life (feedforward pending)

@aisler.net loot part 3/3! arranging the PCBs this way took way too long (NNNI25 for €10 off at Aisler😌)

it's that time of the year again!

@aisler.net loot part 2/3! this is shaping up to be a good weekend (NNNI25 for €10 off at Aisler😇)

bonus PWM

@aisler.net loot part 1/3! PCBs hold up to close inspection and look very delicious too😋 these days, I always get mine with the rapid registration stencil, a template for which can be freely downloaded and printed! thank you Aisler for the constant support! (NNNI25 for €10 off at Aisler😇)

another one for the october PCB design bonanza

wien bridge works, the AGC was finicky but now that's up and running too

today we're doing low-THD sine generators... the core oscillator is up and running, I need to get the automatic gain control circuit and notch filter (for measurement of THD) built

second one... and this is one of those designs that I'm personally not really happy with, but I'll have to put up with it because it's a "test" board and I am too tired to think of something prettier (laying it out took two weeks) ...

yep... 27 days later, I have something I'm happy with... off to @aisler.net !

can't we just call it big statistics instead of humanizing it by calling it intelligence

ah yes, my daily dose of "AI".... it's the age of "AI" bro.... (more like it's the age where you can convince people that a stupid statistical model is "AI" and go larping like it's sentient to monger fear and get clicks... when will this DIE)

always feel grateful to be here 🇩🇪 🇪🇺

the fact that I'm doing a bachelor's degree in EE is purely incidental, just saying because people assume the reason I'm doing this is because I'm studying it, when it's the opposite - I'm studying this because what else should I study after being a hobbyist since I was 13

pretty patterns

every decade we let 90% of the population fade into darkness while 10% benefit
