@fine_grain_sol @Dirdmaster I've had my eye on one for a long time. Started gathering the parts to roll by own back when it was called Index.

[Jason Milldrum @NT7S_Jason]

@yujigoworld Yeah, I actually asked dr eggbot for help when this, and this is pretty much the exact advice it gave. We'll see if it changes anything.

[Jason Milldrum @NT7S_Jason]

So I found out that the @bot group chat feature is quite powerful for a complex technical project, but also burns tokens incredibly quickly from the large shared context. Frustrating. Any tips to help with that, @poteto ?

[Jason Milldrum @NT7S_Jason]

My favorite feature are the one-sheet printable results from the calculators. Very satisfying.

[Jason Milldrum @NT7S_Jason]

I'm excited to share something new with you!

An idea I've had for many years and am now able to realize! Try out this early preview, send feedback from the site, and share with your QRP and homebuilder friends!

Si5351A clock output straight into the spectrum analyzer. It's a square wave, so the odd harmonics are right there. A simple low-pass filter or bandpass filter after the output cleans it up a lot. Before and after below with a double-tuned bandpass filter circuit.

So the new meta is to ragebait larger accounts in order to get followers? For now I'll just roosterpoast and Beaglepoast...

How many days until the vibecoded replacement firmware?

@RFAmirhosein Doing a sweep or something a bit more complex like an FFT?

[Jason Milldrum @NT7S_Jason]

@metrox_eth While I don't have the time to do a comprehensive review, based on the images you posted, your PCB layout looks pretty good to me. 👍

[Jason Milldrum @NT7S_Jason]

@fine_grain_sol I still need to look into OpenEMS. So many powerful tools now available, not enough free time. 😅

[Jason Milldrum @NT7S_Jason]

I've been using AI agents (Grok Bot specifically) in my KiCad workflow on a few new Etherkit boards, and they're surprisingly good at RF design work, not just the grunt tasks. The key is checking: I run an independent AI review plus my own before anything goes to fab. It's also good at reviewing my existing design choices. Other homebrewers trying this, what's working for you?

No one could have pulled off going into battle with a pug except Patrick Stewart.

Godspeed, sir

Oh Captain, my Captain.

This is how I’ll always remember you…

This video always crack me up because it just looks like the dude is making shit up on the go trying to make this work.

Seriously, it's worth trying. I was skeptical at first. Try Grok Bot for free for 2 weeks with my invite:

This is my first board using OSP finish. It's interesting looking for sure, and seems to be easy to solder to. No idea how it holds up over the years.

[Jason Milldrum @NT7S_Jason]

Much old business is finally being settled...
