MEP EP#201: The Wheels Are Finally OffParker
Air Raid Siren Update
Ordered Power System for Badge Testing
Will post the design when it is verified to work
Looking for IC’s for the lithium battery version
Type-C USB and power delivery would be nice features
Brewery Building
Soldered some stainless steel
Electrical Box almost completed
Need to wire up the pump switches
The joke is that brewing is 90% cleaning and 10% paperwork
Stephen
How easy is it to make a game console?
Had the idea from the pi touchscreen
Only solder. No electronic design
LCD Screen
Power boost 1000
Lipo Battery
Raspberry pi zero
Aluminum - $30
Buttons and dpad?
Tactile buttons dont feel right
I dont like the idea of sawing up a SNES controller pcb
Adafruit ideas
R.F.O.
DeepPCB: Pure AI-Powered, Cloud-Native Printed Circuit Board Routing
24 hr turn around
The hardest part of PCB routing is Placement
Solder mask color clearance?
Check with your pcb manufacturer!
Has the water analogy gone too far?
