I remember being a young kid playing with this thing, Mattel Auto Race. It's the first electronic game I played with and I remember being instantly hooked and my life forever changed.

#Electonics Fedi — in the UK — can anyone recommend a clamp meter capable of measuring DC amps that is worth owning, preferably under £50, ideally more rather than less "under" lol.

Ideally it should also log min/max.

My current cheap TackLife clamp meter has always seemed fine for AC mains wiring use, but I'm struggling with DC car electronics where it always seems to be claiming it has detected AC amps and is giving me definitely weird numbers. There seems to be no manual DC/AC mode, it claims to be "auto". (I am trying to assess the state of an alternator.)

[Edit: it doesn't actually do DC 🤦🏻 I am an idiot.]

Now running code on my 504b.

Using PuTTY as my terminal via the Nano USB port, and everything echos to the OLED display too.

As traditional dictates...

Anyone have experience with #diy PCB etching? I want to get started with making some pcbs and I've found a lot of videos on how to do the process but can't find a list of what I need to get started.

got my Project Oscilloscope to boot tonight :3

it is the kind that is based on a 1990s PC motherboard that kinda bricks itself if the RTC battery dies, and also the RTC battery is epoxied into the RTC itself, and also I needed to buy a period-accurate keyboard to recover from that

will eventually get/build one of the mod kits that puts a replaceable battery on top of a pin-compatible RTC, but my bodge wires will do for now

＜自分用の小さなAudio Amp.を製作＞

余っている部品を使って音出し確認用の小さなAudio Ampを作った。
入力は、Ｌ・Rのライン入力とBluetooth。
出力は、モノラル。
電源は、USBアダプタから供給する。

小さなスピーカーを作業机の側に置いて、このアンプとスマートフォンをBluetooth接続して使う。

普段はビンテージショップから依頼されてこの様な回路を使ったBluetoothスピーカーを作っているが、自分用に作るとなると面倒なので欲しいと思っていてもずっと先延ばししていた。

Je me suis fait un petit circuit imprimé rigolo pour tester la sérigraphie en halftone. J'ai voulu me faire plaisir. Je pense que j'ai passé une étape sur le côté artistique de mes PCB. C'est vraiment chouette. Vivement que j'ai des idées sympa pour faire des #kits #electronique pour les scouts lors du #jotajoti

Well of course I installed an LED 😂.

At first I went with a blue one but then decided to make it really special and put in an RGB LED. Because why not? 🙌🏻

Now the mod is complete. Next stop - replacing tone sucking pedals with decent ones and maybe wiring power underneath. But no rush there - I really doubt I'll ever play outside of my place again 😂.

A simple but satisfying fix...

A basic press on battery powered light brought home from a local pre-school were it is used as a learning aid.

It was not turning on, and changing the batteries (4x AA) did not help. Opening it up I saw the problem. The bulb was blown! Also, it was directly soldered to the switch, so replacing it would not be a simple swap.

Instead, I replaced it with a couple of LEDs and a 150R resistor. Then, some hot melt glue to hold it all in place ✔️
