with all THT parts, such a cute board :3 This also explains the fingers, they are terminal block connections! I looked for solderable soldering terminals, but couldn’t find any at a reasonable price, however this works well! #electronics
Juicy target: Ukraine Russian electronics plant in Moscow Oblast
Operation designed to reduce #Russia's ability to produce high-tech #weapons, equipment. The facility assembles circuit boards, #electronics for Russian #military-industrial complex
“The #Rezonit plant in the #Zubovo technopark is a juicy target, roughly 40km from #Moscow's center,”
AliExpress, this is crazy even by your standards. I got an envelope which only contained this note. #electronics
I think it’s probably time to move off Mastodon.social and onto a more niche instance. Does anyone have suggestions for a nerdy #maker #electronics type instance I could call home?
Emily Lovell spoke to us about teaching how to contribute to open source, her experience creating the LilyTiny as a Master’s student and researching the impact as a PhD student.

Typo! Typo everywhere! I've spent an entire morning debugging my code because of yet another typo in another paper [1]. Thankfully the author used their formula elsewhere, clearly showing the frequency scale factor was off by 10 due to a misplaced decimal place. It should be 17.3875, not 1.73875! Also thankfully a Russian grad student also used and corrected this formula, confirming my conclusion. #electronics
Universal formula for frequency-dependent coaxial open-end effect, by J. Chramiec and J.K . Piotrowski.
Finally see the light (of centimeter wavelengths) after wrestling with these Bessel functions for two days. The tabulated roots of the Bessel-Neumann equation were scaled by a factor of (k - 1) but I didn't notice, so I kept seeing nonsensical numbers nothing like those in the book.

We recently spent an afternoon in the Japanese Friendship Garden near downtown Phoenix, Arizona. It’s a quiet green refuge in the Arizona desert.

A technological artifact of the 50/60hz split in Japan. The timer will run at a different rate so rather than sell separate models with the timer painted differently, they just have two marks for 50 or 60hz. Beautiful.

On the topic of wearable electronics I would love to build something around these lithium titanate (LTO) batteries from Nichicon. They're stocked by digikey and are much safer than lithium pouch cells. #electronics https://nichiconbattery.com/
I frequently daydream about building a hillariously large smart watch because Sepac makes this huge waterproof smartwatch enclosure. Unfortunately none of Sharp's memory LCDs fit it very well because of the GIANT internal chamfers. #electronics https://www.serpac.com/waterproof-wrist-enclosures-bw6.html
Dein Laptop wird bald nicht mehr mit Sicherheitsupdates versorgt und das Update auf das nächsthöhere Betriebssystem wird aufgrund von zu hohen Hardwareanforderungen blockiert?
Das muss nicht sein!
Ein Umstieg auf z.B. #LinuxMint könnte hier helfen. Die Installation und Einrichtung auch für Anfänger geeignet. Viele bekannte Anwendungen werdet ihr auch für #Linux wiederfinden (#firefox #thunderbird #steam #vlc #keepassxc #libreoffice...). Hier unterstützen euch einige Reparatur Cafés oder Computerclubs und bieten spezielle "LinuxCafés" an.
Der Rechner kann somit noch über Jahre genutzt werden. Probiert es mal aus! Ganz nebenbei punktet das neue System auch in Sachen #Datenschutz.

#FunFactFriday: With e-waste piling up to 62 billion kilograms worldwide, scientists are taking a new approach to recyclable, healable electronics using vitrimer. Are you excited to see this hit the electronics circuit? News Source: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/06/250602190434.htm
I finally published the repo for the rust CANOpen stack I've been working on, and wrote a post about it:
https://jeffmcbride.net/blog/2025/06/05/introducing-zencan/
It's still woefully incomplete, and needs a lot more contact with real problems to find the issues, and then I can decide if this is a good idea or a huge waste of time :).
I have never actually published a crate before, and soon I will publish 5!
After 15 minutes of my time and £3 on eBay, my sister’s heated throw is functional once again.
For such an expensive item (StaySnug), the controller doesn’t seem to be very well designed.
Surely resistors shouldn’t get that hot in normal use?
At least there was a thermal fuse…
