YOUYUE 858D+ hotair station — reverse engineering #5
The lack of an ISP connector on this board has given me a lot of grief. This little adapter board will solve that problem once and for all. It also provides a couple of through-hole pads for potentially adding some … Continue reading
More Stencils from OSH-Stencils — Panellize this!
My first ‘real’ panel.
The Pogo-Key — 1.27mm AVR ISP adapter take II
The key to successful AVR programming :-> The previous version of this adapter had a major disadvantage – assembly was a mess. You needed a jig, sticky tape… not good.
Prototype stencils from OSHStencils
First generation (now obsolete) stencil from OSHStencils.com:
Truly useable OSHW logo for KiCAD
Yes I do know that there are others available as well, but I didn’t like it. It is HUGE (about 6MB) and I couldn’t easily scale it. Using ‘Bitmap2Component’, which is included in the later versions of KiCAD, I’ve created … Continue reading
More light! — Prolly my LAST large perfboard prototype
I’m still alive — physically that is. Recently I felt the urge to do some soldering an I promptly succumbed to it. 3 days later I was done and totally fed up with having to solder using the “W-word”. The … Continue reading

RGB LED Toy — first order at BatchPCB
For quite some time I have 19 SMD RGB LEDs sitting in one of my electronics boxes. It used to be 20, but I’ve ruined one while trying to solder it to perfboard. They are 3 single LEDs put into … Continue reading

V3.04 PCBs from MakePCB have arrived
I’ve waited for 5 weeks for the 2nd batch of the 64-pixel RGB matrix controller boards. This time I ordered from MakePCB as I wanted to test another PCB manufacturer. Also I couldn’t get gold plated pads from GoldPhoenix for … Continue reading
