Om avsnittet
- Tindie joins Hackaday!
- Dave has been using Shopify for his platform to sell his uCurrent.
- Contextual Electronics will have an embedded portion. Chris is bringing on people to help.
- CotW (sorta): TimerBlox
- Vagrant is a program that helps to script installs. CE will have a fully formed image for getting up and running with Linux/KiCad/dependencies.
- When Colin K was on the show, he talked about designing with modules and the tradeoffs in cost/certs. Jeff Rowberg also mentioned similar things when he was on the show (sorry I blanked on your name, Jeff!)
- PunchThrough just announced the Bean+.
- Chris asked how to explain switching converters without math. He didn't realize Dave had made a video about this back in his early days.
- The board in Dave's old intro used a Virtex 5, which Chris thought that past guest Philip Freidin worked on. Dave needed to do Bit Error Rate Testing (BERT) after running traces on that board it was so high speed.
- Dave and David2 will be switching away from using (Altium) CircuitMaker on the uSupply project. They will be using KiCad!
- Chris is reinstalling KiCad now that he has a Windows 10 box. The eevblog forum has a post about which EE programs are affected by the upgrade.
- Chris asks about recycling programs for electronics (and making sure they aren't just shipped off to a 3rd world country).
- Silicon is the 2nd most abundant element in the earth's crust.
- Our wonderful patrons on Patreon now cover the cost of sending a microphone to each guest we have on. You can help contribute as well!
- If you cannot help financially, you can give us a review on iTunes. We're currently lagging in popularity behind a dentist podcast! (to be fair, looks pretty good)
