Got to solder some little SMD components today for @skyguided 's plasma toroid inverter PCB. I found all the parts onlline, and once I get a few more revisions done on my next round of PCB orders I will be getting the rest of the parts.
Excited to get this thing working- its neat getting a sense of how it works by assembling it and studying the schematics. So far, my favorite parts are the thermostat by the MOSFETS and the photo flash capacitor charge IC (seen with messy flux all over it under the microscope). Excited to blow and fill some oddball shapes and play around the ionized toroid fills.
With the right tools, SMT is fuuun! Sooooo tiny :)

I'm looking for different gallery spaces, art studios in Queens. I miss Pioneer Works (I used to live close to it), it was so inspiring to see the residencies. I want more hackerspaces in New York. I love C-base in Berlin, Fat Cat Fab Lab in Manhattan, NYC Resistor in Brooklyn. So much potential for collaboration and education. #HackerSpace #PioneerWorks #MakerSpace #CBASE #FatCatFabLab #NYCResistor

Soldering up three more audio reactive boards at NYC Resistor. Thinking about designing a custom PCB in a fun shape. How about a horse with knob horseshoes? Audio inputs/ outputs on mouth and butt?
It sure is nice having the lighting and air suction device when soldering. I want to play with the microscope next time.
Resistor has public craft nights on Thursdays at 6:00. If you have a project it's a neat place to work and chat.

CW: introduction / bio
Here's my #introduction:
I'm Ben Combee. I've been on the internet since fall of 1991 when I started at Georgia Tech and found USENET.
In 2022, I work at #Roku doing device software and I have hobbies involving #electronics, #embedded development, #retrocomputing, #retrogaming, and #gamedev. I live in #austin #atx, but am a remote member of #NYCResistor. I mostly post about my hobbies with occasional asides that come to my #DadJoke mind.
