I'm in a pretty OK office chair from the UW surplus outlet. They had desks at the start of the pandemic when nobody else did. I think this chair was around $50.

The Elegoo Uno R3 Super Starter Kit (words variously ordered) is pretty popular, among the similar $40ish kits.

Same here--2 orders, shipped same day, 2 days to WA, no surprises.

Wow that is tiny! Let us know if you find them

Unimpressed until the dude nails this fit:

From overhearing CS faculty talk about it: you can use software tools to wind up with what you need in order to code your own paraphrased version of the code. A recent grad with a cybersecurity focus would possibly have learned how to decompile and inspect sneaky code. Maybe trade them a decent...

Increase it. Because: voltage = current times resistance. Less current means less brightness. Ohm's law (V=IR) is going to be really handy along the journey, worth learning and applying as the times come. But if now isn't such a time, increase the resistance to reduce the brightness, and rock on.

In no particular order, these gave the biggest "Ah haave seeeen the light" reaction. - Moonn Good Vibes - PPCB Sanguine - Grind Customs Ultra Stoner - Moonn Time Waster - Parasit Theremin Fuzz

Same here. I won't claim that the libraries make sense, but I understand them and can easily find what I need, thanks in no small part to the bean.

Saw a band (The Wameki) last night where the vocalist just plugged a mic into a guitar delay pedal. It worked fine and they rocked harder and were more punk than Jack White ever did or was. Although, FWIW, I'd build a PPCB that had the same concept, because singers that move around a lot would...

It seems like it would work to power it up without anything connected to SCL & SDA. It's probably not dispositive that a computer would recognize it as a USB device, but pretty close. Arduino IDE would make it easy, provided the drivers are installed.

I like the “grunt” switch on the ultra stoner. In any case, it’s always better to regret something you have done….

Cheap toothbrushes have a flat bristle profile. I'm currently using a hotel freebie toothbrush for board cleaning.

I usually do that, for fear of the bare aluminum oxidizing over time. Decals stick fine. I think I used laser printed waterslide decals--it's been a few years since I did my own instead of the Tayda printing.

Maybe the $5 Mic Pre would be enough? Very similar to the above. If it's a dynamic mic for a live setting, it could even be simplified a little more. Powering it cheaply has always been its Achilles heel. I haven't tried it with a DC-DC converter. With 4 batteries it's fine.

I got mine from alexer1 as well. I don't see any on Ebay, though it's tricky with the cyrillic characters. There's this listing on Reverb (no affiliation): https://reverb.com/item/48383297-nos-u-r-s-s-140-1408-analog-lm308 Looks like they've become scarce too. Maybe it's time to start...

I got some PDIP LM308 from this seller a couple years ago: https://www.ebay.com/str/intergalacticsemiconductor. They were pulls, with mangled legs and a variety of markings. I tested them in a Rat circuit on the breadboard, along with some Motorola metal cans, some УД1408А, a NTE 938, and a...

Those tips look fine to me, and the solder joints look OK as well. It may be a problem with the station <-> tip connection? FWIW 0.8mm is the thickest I'd use on a PCB. 0.5mm melts and flows a little bit faster, I think. Those are very personal considerations, like soldering temperature itself...

US consumers can pay the tariff on delivery, with an added broker's fee to the carrier, or we can pay it in advance, rolled into the shipping charges at origin, without that broker's fee. Neither Tayda, nor Thailand, nor DHL, nor any other rhetorical straw man, is ultimately responsible for...
