@SabreWuff I imagine blending mashed potatoes having the texture was wallpaper glue 😂

Here's a little preview of the project I've been working on 💡

Spending the day at one of Tassie’s amazing beaches, we're seriously, we’re spoiled for choice here. 🌊

Haven’t been posting much lately, but I’ve been deep into some fun product design and 3D printing projects. Can’t wait to share what I’ve been working on once it’s ready.

Sorting through my old phones, I came across one of my all-time favorites: the Sony Xperia XZ. This phone served me well for over five years. Back then, you could find Sony phones everywhere in Australia. These days, though, they're much harder to come by unless you import one.

I'm such a sucker for a nice scientific calculator, especially a Casio one 😎

PC fan jammed in a window = The perfect nerds AC setup 😎😆 Note: I've placed a scented candle in front for added comfort.

Spent ages diagnosing why my amp wasn’t outputting to the speakers, only to find the homemade speaker cable was stuffed 😆. Always the simple things! Used the chance to clean up some solder joints and ordered proper replacement lamps. Tried LEDs but hated how they looked.

@Darekyl Nice work! That's a fine soldering work 😎

A relaxing post Christmas activity 😅

@MisirajEduart Having just purchased a really cheap nasty SCART cable from AliExpress, I can truly appreciate this quality. Great work dude, looks like a top-notch cable🫡

Just grabbed this cheap electrolytic capacitor kit for some breadboard tinkering. Brand name? "Aoqdqdqd", looks like they let a cat stroll across the keyboard or perhaps they borrowed inspiration from my file naming habits 😂

The top & bottom of the PCB 🙂

Picked up another one of these digital watch kits! This time, it’s all about reverse engineering. Feels like the perfect simple project to dig into! I'll share my progress over the next few days, including PCB scans. Stay tuned!

@phil_reichert @digikey It's the main board from an old CRT television 🙂

Ready for a peaceful night of recapping. There's nothing like that satisfying pile of @digikey ziplock bags at the end of a project! Always feels like a badge of honour 😆

Collecting (if that's what you call it) takes space! 😅 Threw together this wall-mounted shelf out of MDF for my electronics workbench. It's a quick, slapped-together build, but it’ll do the job for all my storage needs!

@SabreWuff SCART X3 😲
