Liebes Fediverse,
kennt ihr Find My Cat von https://www.findmycat.io/ ?? Das ist ein Standort Tracker welcher recht klein ist und zb für Katzen geeignet ist. Ein Kumpel und ich wollen einige bestellen bzw. herstellen. (Man muss die Teile einzeln kaufen und löten).
Damit es etwas günstiger wird, suchen wir noch Interessenten und würden für euch mitbestellen und bei Wunsch auch gleich zusammen bauen.

Meldet euch bei Interesse gern bei mir per DM.

FindMyCat - The Open-Source Pet Tracker

I've discovered some more expensive chargers with more features and stuff like SkyRC MC3000. That shit is so fucking expensive and I prolly won't be able to use all the features it has so not now, bear.

I know I like tinkering and stuff with the best but I need more experience and patience and yes, money, so I have to work for it. Plus, I needed batteries first. What am I gonna do with a charger without some more new batteries to play with ?! lololol

#electronics #batteries

I've started exploring and learning about rechargeable batteries as a hobby for a few days now and I've spent more than a hundred dollars. That's why I haven't been posting lately

I've bought pretty much the same thing that's on this video lol. Definitely not cheap. I could've bought RE 9 but I chose to spend some money starting out.

If anyone's got experiences with this, pls share. Thanks

KiCad 10 release – Dark mode, graphical DRC rule editor, new file importers, and more

KiCad 10 open-source EDA software has just been released with support for dark mode, importers for Allegro, PADS, and gEDA/Lepton PCB, and various changes to the Schematic Editor (e.g., hop-over display) and the PCB Editor, notably adding a graphical DRC rule editor. KiCad 10 was built by hundreds of developers, translators, library contributors, and documentation submitters, who submitted 7,609 unique commits after KiCad 9 was released in February 2025. The new version also gains 952 new symbols, 1216 new footprints, and 386 new 3D models. Some UI and usability improvements include dark mode support (Windows only), customizable toolbars, undo/redo support in dialogs, lasso/freeform selection instead of only rectangular selection, and new importers for Allegro, PADS, and gEDA/Lepton PCB. Schematic editing gains support for variants (e.g., single project with different BoM), hop-over display, jumper support, grouping support, and pin table CSV export/import. PCB Design adds time-domain tuning beyond just length constraints

Ok #electronics nerds. I must be doing something wrong.

(Edit: Narrator: he was doing something wrong. As usual. Probes plugged into the wrong holes on the multimeter!)

If I put my multimeter on resistance (that’s what I have done, isn’t it?) and I touch the 2 probes together, I expect to see basically 0 resistance. But I see 12.59. Then I touch the probes to the 2 terminals of my thermistor. I get basically the same reading. That makes no sense to me.

I mean, I think the thermistor has gone bad, but I also don’t understand whether I’m doing this right. Is this actually a common failure mode for thermistors or am I doing something dumb with my multimeter?

man what a beautiful design solution by genexis #electronics
This module sits between glasfiber cable and ethernet network. The part thats wonderful is a bit of plastics that transports light 🕯️ from the electronic board to the front of the device, so endusers can see if there is traffic .
It clicks simply onto the board
good #design for sure
