A new post from Justin Sung: How to Effortlessly Enter DEEP WORK on Command. I assume “deep work” has something to do with Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World. But basically I guess they are talking about flow.

Silly Job Title: Transistor Troubadour.
In this video we make some power cables which we will be using when we start to make the circuits for Learning the Art of Electronics. In particular we make two banana jack to DC barrel male and three DC barrel female to JST PH2.0 male. I also accidentally made a DC barrel male to JST PH2.0 but I’m not planning to use that.
The ElectroCookie printed circuit boards (PCBs) I will be using for the LAoE projects are these:
- ElectroCookie Mini PCB Prototype Board Solderable Breadboard for DIY Electronics, Compatible for Mini Arduino Soldering Projects, Gold-Plated (50 Pack, Black)
- ElectroCookie Solderable Breadboard PCB Board for Electronics Projects Compatible for DIY Arduino Soldering Projects, Gold-Plated (9 Pack + 3 Mini, Multicolor Pack)
- ElectroCookie Large PCB Prototype Board Kit Solderable Breadboards for DIY Arduino and Soldering Projects, Gold-Plated (6 Multi-Pack, Blue)
We use the METCAL PS-900 Soldering Station for soldering.
We use the EEVblog BM2257 Digital Multimeter to test continuity.
We use the Horusdy Soldering Station with Hot Air Gun to shrink our head shrink.
We use the Hakko CHP 3C-SA Precision Tweezers for working the wire.
We use the Plato Model 170 Wire Cutter to cut things.
