That's what she said?

Ada fruit has a 4x4 mini breadboard, add some headers and connect to those?

Santa reached out over the weekend asking for my list. One of the things I thought of was to upgrade my FNIRSI LCR-1. I know the DCA55 is more accurate and offers more than the LCR-1 but I kind of like the built in testing slots. Am I strange?

6 transistors? That is a lot of muff. Like 70s era.

Maybe with a little beer and cigarette smoke build up like mixing boards from dive bars in the 90s.

That was a little bit of a joke.

Where to get components? I just sneak into Stickman's house while he is out, he has a solid offering.

The biggest thing for the inventory is I can sum it all and know I own like 10,000 components. Makes me feel cool.

Fellow spreadsheet nerd here, this is super cool! Definitely stealing a few of these ideas. Mine’s kinda similar but not nearly as fancy. I track components, values, how many I’ve got on hand, total available (on hand minus what’s already allocated) and what’s on order. I set it up that way so...

Looks great!

I just put it in my cart and buy them, makes it pretty simple.

Lots of great advice, especially the build reports. One thing to add, buy spares. Nothing worse than breaking or cooking a component and having nothing to replace it. Or worse, losing one. I dropped a diode on the floor, spent 20-30 minutes searching for it, couldn’t find it. Asked the wife...

@jorisroos At first look, the dc jack seems suspect, looks like all three are connected.

I’m into sounds that have a bit of modulation and movement or stuff that’s just straight-up super cheesy. When I record, I’ll usually throw a little natural reverb on cleaner tones to make them feel more real. I mean, no one’s listening to an amp with their ear right up to the speaker (at least...

I agree - the Kewpie can do SO much. It gets massive to the point you wouldn't need a bass player but then cleans up into a cool overdrive/distortion and everywhere in between.

I like sorting everything, it is the peeling back the bubble wrap on everything that takes the time. I like Tayda, they build a bubble wrap fort and sticks it all in there.

I am lazy, I find the Mouser part I want then find the part of the Mouser number that corresponds to the entire product line like 603-MFR-25FBF52 for Yageo bulk resistors. That said, lately with end of life and some crazy price hikes plus tariffs, been searching a little more, mix and...

True. That said, 10-11 hours of flight time, I can only watch so much Netflix.

This is the Breadpad app, cleaver idea and something to help me get better. Like I said, I suck with taking schematics and breadboarding them.

Diving into this, there is an app called BreadPad. The quick time I have used it, seemed easy and straight forward to use but looks like it is not being supported. It is missing things like transistors. I am TERRIBLE at breadboarding so it would have been great to have something that to...
