I make electronics and try to write software lol… I’m a computer engineer by education, maker by choice.

What's up, peeps? I've been so bad at keeping up with mastodon- what cool stuff have y'all been up to?

Oakdevtech,

@stargirl ya know, making boards. Trying to make this maker business work. 🤷‍♂️

Oakdevtech,

Assembling the trigger crossbar board over lunch.

Not thrilled with the paste print quality, very inconsistent. the top left corner was way too thick as the board flexed during printing, the middle BGA skipped some pads, and the WLCSP in the bottom right was near perfect.

These big boards bend too much in my paste fixture, I need to find a way to prevent that before I do any more boards of this scale.

Oakdevtech,

@azonenberg classic mistake that gets masters and newbies alike. Hardware bring up never provides a dull moment 😅

I've bloody well done it again! YUS! One year, every evening at 4pm (winter) 5pm (summer). A 20 second exposure through a pinhole camera, on a glass plate. I've captured the Analemma again!

Oakdevtech,

@iangriffin if you look closely, you can see a spooky pumpkin shape in the image. 🎃

My husband has been growing vegetables in our yard for the first time. The tomatoes are coming in pretty well, but the cucumbers are confusing. The label that came with the plants is in the first image. However, the growing cucumbers never resemble that picture at any point in their life cycle, so we don't know when to pick them. They start off like a dark green spiky orb, then turn into rotund, spiky, gourd-shaped blobs that just keep getting lighter and fatter. It's strange!

An (ostensible) cucumber growing from a cucumber plant. The cucumber is light green and shaped like a comma rotated onto its side.

Oakdevtech,

@geekmomprojects generally this happens due to either under/poor pollination or bad soil quality or a combination of both.

Reworked all the bridges on the ESD diodes that I found during initial visual inspection, and tidied up a few bulk caps.

Did continuity tests to sanity check on each power rail and nothing is shorted.

Gonna start populating the front side after the little one goes to sleep. Should go faster than the back since it's mostly large ICs not hundreds of 0402s.

Oakdevtech,

@azonenberg I love watching the progress and build up of your designs. Hoping this works no smoke :)
