Om avsnittet
- Martin Lorton is thinking about selling off his stack of gear. Chris is excited for the opportunity serendipidy might bring.
- Dave got an email about how to find a new job. One way is to just email, using a tool like Email Hunter. However you should be very cognizant of the person's time you are emailing.
- Louis Rossman made a cryptic video about the future of his channel. It might turn out ok. Chris hadn't heard of him until Louis did a popular AMA.
- The Juno probe has gotten to Jupiter and was successful!
- The Megaprocessor is awesome. 43.2K transistors. Should people learn processors? Maybe. But there probably isn't time for the general EE audience.
- Rudolf Kalman has passed away. If you don't know, Kalman Filters are present in many sensor applications these days.
- EAGLE was bought by Autodesk (for an estimated $20M, no official numbers). Autodesk has a large suite of tools now:
- Fusion
- Inventor
- Tinkercad
- Circuits.io
- Adafruit did an interview with Dave and Chris's former co-worker (worked with both of them individually!). Matt didn't answer all the questions.
- Chris thinks a CAD tool is like Religion. You're not changing without a "Catalyzing Change Agent"
- Circuit Maker continues to lack features, but Altium finally reduced the price on Circuit Studio, which puts it into competitive territory.
- Surprisingly, Chris still recommends learning KiCad (using something like Getting to Blinky)
- Our episodes will start uploading to The Amp Hour youtube channel. This will allow deeplinking of the audio.
- Dave has been releasing videos of his chat with Karsten about space electronics.
- We will be having a call in show next week! Email [email protected] if you'd like to join in on Skype.
- Chris will be in Chicago from the 15th to the 17th! Get in contact if you'd like to hang out ([email protected])
- Limor did an interview with the CEO of Digikey.
- The Daredevil Camera is a fantastic use of paralleled signal processing!
- Dave had forgotten he already made a video about orders of magnitude back in video 286!
