Olem<p>This project was held up 4evah (in other words, about two weeks) because the screws was so damn hard to get. Getting PCBs made? No prob, they were shipped fast from the fab within a day or two. Finding electronic components? They were picked and delivered from Kentucky to my door in Norway within 48 hours. Printing the case took an hour or so in my basement. But screws? Not so easy. Shenzhen came to the rescue again, they came on a slow boat from China. <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/diy_electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diy_electronics</span></a></p>
Olem<p>Ordered some PCBs, printed a case and soldered up frntc's RAD cartridge. It makes use of a raspberry pi to add a ram expansion unit (REU) to a Commodore 64 or 128. Very nice, since an original REU in working condition is pretty bloody expensive. Lots of other functionality as well.

Aki ₍^. .^₎⟆<p>Fellow queer techies, I need some help: I am currently doing a way-too-big electronics engineering project, and like I'm good mostly but I'm really struggling to figure out the power management part of it, as the ref. implementations of chips like the TI series of battery chargers are... opaque to say the least. If anyone would like to help me figure it out it would be most appreciated :Blobhaj_Plead_2: </p><p><a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/engineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>engineering</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/diy_electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diy_electronics</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/pcb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pcb</span></a></p>

Stryder Notavi<p>Question for the Fedi, since this is the best place to find someone else whose tried it - If I wanted to chop up some old anti-static bags to make smaller ones, is there a way to join / seal the sides (e.g. to take a cut out joined on two sides and make it a bag open at one end only).</p><p>I'm wondering if this could be done with an iron or something similar, though I have no idea what the right settings would be.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/diy_electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diy_electronics</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ElectroStaticBags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElectroStaticBags</span></a></p>
Christian Schmidt<p>Ich habe soeben eine Leiterplatte beim Verlöten mit dem 4S Batteriepack (LiPo4) aufleuchten lassen. Offenbar hatte ich eine 22w statt einer 100w Platine bestellt 🫣 die deutlich überfordert war und das eindrucksvoll zur Schau stellte.</p><p>Eine neue ist bestellt, aber aus China wird das eine Weile brauchen. Mal schauen welche Bausteine sich noch verwenden lassen. Kann die Kurze mal mit dem Papa entlöten üben.</p><p><a href="https://norden.social/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <a href="https://norden.social/tags/diy_electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diy_electronics</span></a></p>
Boris Kretzinger<p>"If you wanted to create a floppy disk from scratch, you'd first have to create the universe." Well, Carl Sagan said that about apple pie, but it basically holds true no matter what you want to create from scratch. Turns out trying to create new floppy disks is also not a small endeavor. This is the second person seriously trying afaik so far, and he's coming pretty close already. I especially like the chapter called "chasing microns". This is really something special, so go watch it 📺💾<br><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/diskette" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diskette</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/disketten" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>disketten</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/floppydisk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>floppydisk</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/floppydisks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>floppydisks</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/vintagecomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vintagecomputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/diy_electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diy_electronics</span></a> <br><a href="https://youtu.be/TBiFGhnXsh8" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/TBiFGhnXsh8</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

Guys.. please... stop using your soldering irons at >350º celsius... You are just obliterating your tips...

It is the fifth time that I see a video of dudes roasting their tips at 480º celsius...

If 350º (max) is not enough for you, change to an another tip shape or help your soldering iron with the hot air gun or a preheater platform.

What are my options if I want to make #electronics projects at home, often using tiny microcontrollers, sensitive sensors etc, but I don't want to deal with lots of hazardous chemicals or to order PCBs from aboard?

Has someone figured out how to design and assemble tiny 3D circuits, optimized for manufacture at small quantities? The idea has fascinated me for a long time.
