At the start of the year I set out to launch a new #RC2014 product every month. I didn't get one out in November, so only 11 so far.

If the last 2 days of solgging away at #KiCad pays off then I might just get the 12th one in before the year ends. Crossing my fingers I haven't done anything stupid, bit it's all in the hands of JLCPCB now.

While I wait to get the boards back, I might just have time for some other fun projects this weekend.

JLCPCB seem to be copying the budget airline approach with random extra fees and the like; but I guess they now also send you some x-rays of your boards once they've come out of production.

Here's one of our new prototype My Bike's Got LED boards, now en route to us 😀

Kamarád mě poprosil o PWM kontroler na ventilátory do racku, který bude schopný se připojit k #HomeAssistant.
Koncept by byl. Otestoval jsem připojení k HA a základní výstup ovládání. Ještě mi zbývá vyzkoušet zapojení na nepájivém poli a pokud to bude fungovat, tak objednat tišťák. Samozřejmě k tomu ve finále přibude i nějaká krabička 🙂

Spy! Break! Inject!

I designed a wee circuit board to scratch an itch. Insert this circuit board inline with a 4-wire bus and you can spy on, break into and inject signals. It’s a purpose built breadboard for reverse engineering.

I’m pretty sure I spent longer on the silkscreen design than on the circuit layout itself. It’s released as open hardware in case anyone else finds it useful.

وقتی میگوییم #نرم‌افزار_آزاد بیشتر به یاد نرم‌افزارهای مرتبط با #برنامه‌نویسی مثل :vim: و نرم‌افزارهای عمومی مثل :gnome: میافتیم. ولی لازم میدانم تشکر کنم از کسانیکه زمان باارزش خود را میگذارند تا برای رشته‌های تخصصی مختلف نرم‌افزار آزاد بنویسند تا آنها اسیر برنامه‌های انحصاری برای تخصص خود نشوند. سپاس!

Spent the evening levelling up my #FreeCAD skills to model a stereo pot, including forays into shapebinders and the drafting workbench to create an array of parts.

Slightly disappointed that the final step needed to export it to #Kicad merged all the bodies to a single one and so discarded all the different materials/colours I'd carefully constructed beforehand 🤣

Not sure I like screw terminals, but probably cheapest option for this (LED strip controller).

I think the #KiCAD export tool has changed how it sends parts co-ordinates to the export for #JLCPCB. Driving me round the bend.
