STM32F1 Pico Pwner
I was searching for info about picoPower and I accidentally found STM32F1 Pico Pwner. Looks pretty interesting! It seems to be using power glitching to bypass locks so firmware can be dumped from certain microcontrollers.

Air Quality Meter
Mum is roasting a chicken and my Air Quality Meter started alarming. The oven in the kitchen is smoking too much! This thing is super sensitive, it’s great, I’m glad I got it! The other day while I was soldering with the window closed it started alarming too. It’s good to have something reminding you about air quality.

Burglar Alarm | Project 11/20 | Maxitronix 20in1 | Learning Electronics In The Lab With Jay Jay
This post is part of my video blog and you can find more information about this video over here.
You can support this channel on Patreon: patreon.com/JohnElliotV
In this video I do the 11th project from the Maxitronix 20in1 (the Sensor Robot 20): Burglar Alarm.
This project uses the reed switch to trigger a bistable multivibrator that controls an alarm. The bistable multivibrator can be reset with the key. An astable multivibrator is used to generate the tone for the audible alarm.
In this project we get some more experience with transistors and how they can be used in various types of multivibrator circuit. Under the thermal camera we can see some of the transistors warming up as they conduct electricity. With the oscilloscope we can see the periodic waveform used to generate the alarm tone.
Note: while I was making this video I needed to make some banana plug to hook clip cables (so that I could test the reed switch). I made a video of my making those cables which you can see here: Electronics Project #9: Making Banana Plug to Hook Clip Cables | In The Lab With Jay Jay.
