Today I discovered Low Tech Sensors and Actuators while reading Getting Started with Arduino. It’s a report about how to salvage electronics from cheap toys to make various types of systems which can interact with their environment.
In my feed today: How Boris Tane Uses Claude Code. He separates research, planning, and implementation phases, as he says: “Read deeply, write a plan, annotate the plan until it’s right, then let Claude execute the whole thing without stopping, checking types along the way.”
I might be the first to point out: this is Waterfall! Micro-waterfall?
Here’s a fun build from element14 presents: Build Your Own USB Looper for Serial Debugging and File Transfer — Episode 702. It lets you connect two USB hosts to each other. I wanted to check out the software and schematics but I couldn’t find the files to download from anywhere…
In this video Ruckus Audio makes a BluesBreaker for his guitar.
This interview with Dan Gelbart looks interesting, but I don’t have two hours spare to watch it! You can learn more about Dan Gelbart here: The optimistic inventor: Dan Gelbart, Weizmann-identified whiz kid, recalls a storied career. His popular YouTube channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/dgelbart.
I love what these guys are doing with clips and such.
The latest One ROM installment from Piers Rocks. He made his own PIO/DMA emulator and One ROM logic analyzer, as one does.
I’m always impressed with how much @ElectrArc240 knows about power electronics.
I wish I could make database systems like this!

Silly Job Title: Electron Herder. I am the Electron Herder!
In this video we continue to work our way through Learning the Art of Electronics. In this video we continue with 1L Lab: DC Circuits and make a 10 mA ammeter with our meter movement.
We use the 5V LED we made last weekend to test our ammeter.
We use the Riden RD6006 Bench Power Supply to power our test circuit.
We use the EEVblog BM2257 Digital Multimeter to measure the resistance of our 100 µA meter movement.
We use the Multicomp Pro MP701033 Resistor Decade Box for our 23Ω shunt resistor.
We use the Carpenter Mechanical Pencil to take notes.
We use the Kaisi S-160 45x30cm Repair Mat as our workspace.
Thanks very much for watching! And please remember to hit like and subscribe! :)
