I fixored my Hamilton Beach toaster. 🪛   

The solder joints on the electro magnet that holds the lever down had broken completely.

Since it'll take some time for the PCBs to arrive, I decided to make a #prototype on #perfboard. It works fine, and I can test my programs using it. Turns out an #ATtiny814 is good enough for the task.
The #WS2812B #SMD #LEDs are very bright, though, and reducing brightness also reduces the possible color range.
The different color shadings are not very distinguishable, yet. I might have to adjust the color palette.

My Soviet Germanium PNP class A transistor audio amp works! Needs a little tuning but sounds pretty good! Definitely “old Fi” rather than hifi but that’s what I wanted. This was based on a circuit from MIT but seriously modified b/c of the transistors I had available. I’ll post a schematic. Very happy I got this working well!

Transistors are 2x MP-39 for voltage gain and 2x P-214G Darlington power transistors driving 8ohm cheap speakers.

Nothing annoys me more than people who peek at their Christmas presents early. I built a "Present Peeker Trap" that sounds an alarm, records and video, and pings my phone if someone peeks!

How I block all online ads

A couple of years ago, I decided I'd had enough of ads. Not just the occasional banner or a quick pre-roll video — I mean all of them. They have to go.

Exploring how embedded audio can enhance fitness products? Our new blog breaks down the KT148A voice chip – a powerful, low-cost solution in a tiny SOP8 package.
