USB wiring question:
this small usb-micro pcb has four surface mounted components. C1 C2 and L1 and L2. There's also a empty slot for a component labeled ESD1. The only output for this pcb is 5v to feed into a lighting strip.
What does this pcb do?

I wish I could thank whoever was building this run of Palm Tungsten T|X devices and left a nice chonky glob for the battery leads.
I was able to melt just a bit, pop the old leads out and sneak the new ones in. The only thing fiddly was I had to increase my solder temperature a few degress C.

ATtiny Punk Console #soldering #workshop today from 22:30 at #emfcamp Hardware Hacking Area.
This easy to build 8Bit fun machine can be a drum or bass #synthesizer, a laser gun sound generator, an extended Atari Punk Console, a 4-voice drone synth or go really crazy with the Random Ticker or Failure Unit. I also have a few LFO and Keyboard kits to start a small modular system with this.
Check out from 9pm in front of the tent. -

The 1st noisio #synthesizer #soldering #workshop at #emfcamp will start on Thursday from 8:30pm. We will focus on the 10-voices Levitation OSC drone synth, but every other one can be built in parallel, since technically they are very close.

Come along at Hardware Hacking Area in the (1..2) hours before to check out the sounds >>

@Athena Maybe try EA Sales (www.easales.com). He comes to a lot of ham swap meets around here and always has a big booth at Dayton. I've purchased from them in the past. #hamradio #soldering

Disturbing revelation yesterday: my encroaching presbyopia is starting to interfere with my soldering ability. I think it’s time to get a good USB/video microscope. #electronics #soldering

If anyone has an #Omnifixo S2 (specifically the smaller 90x90mm) model sat around in a drawer gathering dust, I would be happy to exchange pennies with you for it. Neither the larger size nor clones don't quite fit my use case. #soldering

Heres a #maker tip tipperoo..
When you are soldering dupont pins on to components, plug it all into a breadboard then solder to keep things lined up, square, and straight.

I don't do #electronics very often. When I only need a one-off, I don't bother designing a PCB. I just use a perfboard and some tiny wires.
I've got a bag of these wires, and they are great. I think the insulation is Teflon and they don't shrink when you solder them.
However, I've never found a good way to strip them. I usually just use my fingernails, but that stretches the insulation, which makes them shrink after all when I solder them.
Do wire strippers exist for such tiny wires?

Well, that’s all we have for this board. Everything seems to test for continuity but the real test is when the headers arrive (yes, I ordered the wrong gender pins ha!)

So, update on my #soldering.
I screwed up a part; pulled off a trace.
Luckily, I have magnet wire, and a will to fix…

Yesterday, I was screaming at plumbing, after a pinhole in our well water feed developed.
IT took three trips for parts to really fix it, and a new trip is planned for fresh insulation.
Today, I taught myself to drag solder. I’ve never had to solder anything more complex than a small SOT transistor before.

(Either I'm mentally recovering from last week, or I'm just flitting between small projects today like a bumblebee that found some spilled caffeinated soda.)
I designed a working "Control Card" for a Hakko FP-102 Soldering Station, which is required in order for the station to start heating up and accept changes to the temperature setting.
It's still a good soldering station, 20 years on, so this might help others of you as well as me.

Our Bluetooth sound panel was getting buggy, so one motivated member rebuilt it from scratch using our electronics stock. The new MuMaLab Control Panel has soldered connections, industrial-grade buttons, a logarithmic fader and a sturdy TRS aux input. No more crackling, no more loose connectors.

Remember the days when you could not buy a Raspberry Pi with the amound of RAM you wanted, but you could upgrade it yourself? Those days are gone.
Now the possibility to upgrade has been officially locked.
Here's a proof from RPi engineers:
https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?p=2380878#p2380878Btw have you upgraded your Pi ram? Did you have any issues? Because I did and it always worked like a charm, including under heavy loads... 🤷♂️

Not my finest work, but it will do the job. I really need to get some proper fine tips for my JBC C245 clone. The "knife" shape SK tip is really to clumsy for this sort of work 🤣

Die Hitze hilft nicht unbedingt beim Routing dieses #Brainfucks 🫠 😭 🫣
Das Erstellen der zugehörigen svg hat #inkscape schon ins schwitzen gebracht. >1 Megabyte Vektorgrafik ist wohl nicht üblich 😅
