Today I was watching Everything You Need to Know about MOSFETs by ElectrArc240 and I noticed he had a Fluke 17B+ multimeter. I managed to find one of those for AU$222.98 on eBay so I look forward to doing the unboxing video soon!

Today I was organising my media files and I found this old video. I recorded this back in August 2023 but I never released it. I think back then I didn’t have this second channel and I decided this video wasn’t good enough for the main channel, so it just kind of got forgotten. But I thought it was fun so I have published it here for the record.
In this video I do a time lapse of me cleaning my resistors. While the time lapse is playing I include a narration in which I discuss things I had been reading at the time. There are two links for the show notes, being these:

This is an old video I released on Elliot’s Extras back in September 2023. It didn’t get a write up on the blog at the time, so just doing that now. In this video, which was the first ever video for Elliot’s Extras, my second channel, I organise some of my diodes from AliExpress. This is a really long and really boring video, a perfect fit for the first Elliot’s Extras video. :)

This is the inaugural Mini Project! I introduced the Mini Projects recently. They are developed and published by Silicon Chip magazine, and sponsored by Jaycar Electronics (which is an Austrlaian electronics store, similar to Radio Shack in the USA, hopefully it doesn’t end up suffering the same fate.)
In this project, codenamed JMP001, we develop a USB keyboard which can send interesting and unusual symbols (which aren’t usually available on a keyboard) to a Windows computer using the alt-codes that it supports in a typical codepage.
For this first Mini Project I felt it was important to actually buy my components from Jaycar which I did for roughly eighty Australian dollary doos. Approximately US$50. The parts I ordered were these:
Belatedly I did also search for rubber feet.
There was quite a lot that went into the production of this video, and we accumulated a lot of links. Those are here:
In the end this first project was relatively successful, and we did get it to work fairly well on one of my Windows computers. As for the rest you can find out for youself in the video!

This is a note for Future John about how to report a recent coredump (with debugging symbols) on Debian:
DEBUGINFOD_URLS="https://debuginfod.debian.net" coredumpctl gdb
Then bt is a magical gdb command to run to give you the call stack of the thread which… failed?

In this video I do the tenth Maxitronix 20in1 Electronic Project Lab project: Speech Conductor.
In this project we learn a little about transistors, amplifiers, and astable multivibrators.
Note: while I was making this video I took a detour into making a cable, which didn’t work out. You can see the video about that over here: Extra Content #13: Failing to Attach Banana Plugs to Microphone Cables | In The Lab With Jay Jay.
