Seven things people learn too late in life
I thought this was good: Seven things people learn too late in life.
Most Important Skills for Electrical Engineering
Today I watched Most Important Skills for Electrical Engineering.
Stuff I need to learn includes:
He listed some important soft skills which included:
- Critical thinking
- Problem solving
- Communication
- Opportunity detection
- Tenacity/high-pain-tolerance
Quake ported to Arduino Nano Matter and Sparkfun Thing Plus Matter Boards
Today I found Quake ported to Arduino Nano Matter and Sparkfun Thing Plus Matter Boards via this article from Hackaday: Quake In 276 KB Of RAM.
The code is on GitHub and there’s a YouTube video with a high-level explanation.
Demo #2: Resistor Box Banana Plug Modding and Demo | 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.

In this video I mod a pair of resistor boxes by installing banana plug terminals in place of the lug terminals they came with and then I give a quick demo of them.
In the demo we connect them in both series and parallel and then measure their resistance with my Fluke multimeter.
I mention this video from Dave Jones on the EEVblog: EEVblog #1020 – Is A $7 LCR / Component Tester Any Good? which is where I found out about the RS-201W resistor box which he has. I searched on eBay for RS-201W but what I found for over US$1,000 (inc shipping) was way too expensive: IET Labs RS-201W Wide Range Precision Resistance Substituter.

In this video I receive Engineer’s Mini Notebook Volume II – Science and Communication Circuits & Projects all the way from the USA from my friend (and mentor (and reader (and viewer (and patron (and Lisp hacker))))) Craig. Thanks Craig! <3
I mention that the October 2024 edition of Silicon Chip magazine is out.
I mention that I recently got my symbol keyboard working on Linux! Pretty happy about that! These are the extra keys that I have at my workstation now: ° ± § λ Δ Σ Π Ω ε µ π θ
I also get a bunch of stuff from AliExpress, including:

Faulty Peak DCA55 Component Tester
I watched this great video: Faulty Peak DCA55 Component Tester – I was shocked! | Can I Fix It? They had an excellent result from Peak Electronic Design Limited when they sought support for the DCA55.
One day, when I am rich, I plan to get the full set of measurement devices manufactured by Peak Electronics.

I plan to binge watch all of these videos: @OpenTechLab. I hope I can find the time!
