I just love electronics

[Anas Malas @CapacitAnas]

Want to make the slimmest USB C PCB ever? These footprints are now open source, and in public domain!

Enjoy! Make sure your PCB is 0.6 mm thick, and show me the cool stuff you make with them.

I made a thing (for attending @PCBWest)

Let me know if you'll be there and want one!

[Anas Malas @CapacitAnas]

@milindS_ @i2cjak @edsammy Im not currently working on anything much personally where I can use it, but I'd love to in the future.

I got 11 bugs officially, though I submitted 20 plus 5 nitpicks. I only reviewed the hardware, didn't look at firmware, so, oh well!

[Anas Malas @CapacitAnas]

@milindS_ @i2cjak @edsammy Im aaaaall the way down :)

I wonder what they group together as one

[Anas Malas @CapacitAnas]

@milindS_ @comma_ai Fun! Interested to see those once the challenge ends

[Anas Malas @CapacitAnas]

@theguygraves It has never happened to me, until I heard about it and did it intentionally. Took many tries, had to find the perfect brand new smooth and uncratched mug. Had to make sure it is very still, dropped a spoon, and boom! :D

[Anas Malas @CapacitAnas]

@theguygraves I dont mean to fear monger! It is something that happens, but it requires quite a bit of stuff to go wrong to happen.

The 60 seconds I quoted is a theoritical safe time whatever you do. If you intent to boil it, use a rougher mug, or watch it. If it's boiling, you're safe!

[Anas Malas @CapacitAnas]

@comma_ai @vaizaragorn Doesn't feel very surprising :P

Unless im majorly blind, there's no BoM here, is there?

[Anas Malas @CapacitAnas]

@robbederks @i2cjak @comma_ai Check mine :D

I'd love to be higher than Jak (unlikely - I did HW only)

[Anas Malas @CapacitAnas]

@i2cjak Uh. Me. Im cool

I forgot to being my jacket to work today

[Anas Malas @CapacitAnas]

@comma_ai Woke up to this challenge. Just submitted my entry. I stuck with HW only for today, I might amend it later with some FW finds. I found ~20 HW bugs and 5 minor nitpicks. I suspect some of the HW bugs might be compressible to one, but oh well :)

[Anas Malas @CapacitAnas]

@JackingxRabbit @saikenMD @BriAtCookiebox The goal was "under X amount of time is *undoubtedly* safe", calculated using physics.

Is 1:30 safe? Probably, but it might not be.

Maybe the cup is preheated, maybe the cup is the extremely thin insulated glass kinds (which barely absorb energy when compared to normal cups)

[Anas Malas @CapacitAnas]

@JackingxRabbit @saikenMD @BriAtCookiebox That would be because you're using more water, with a lower wattage microwave, you're heating the cup too, and maybe if it is actually boiling in your case, boiling takes quite a lot of energy.

My calculations was in an ideal case from 30 to 99 C, heating the water only

[Anas Malas @CapacitAnas]

@Siddhant__rao Not sure if that very filter is suitable, do your homework on that id you'd like to try it

[Anas Malas @CapacitAnas]

@Siddhant__rao There is some distance, so it's marginal at best. The antenna will be detuned, so reception will suffer unless you tune it (got a nanoVNA?)

As for EMI from that connector, maybe you could add a tiny filter. TDK DEA202450BT-3030A1 is a random part I found in stock on LCSC

[Anas Malas @CapacitAnas]

@midorii @smartphone_jp1 Yes! However, do note that if it goes out of stock, it might be hard to find a replacement. We had that problem once when we used a similar JAE connector

[Anas Malas @CapacitAnas]

@saikenMD @BriAtCookiebox However, do not let the spoon touch any other metal object inside the microwave, including the cavity. When metal touches metal, you create a pointy connection point and sparks happen.

Just place the cup towards the middle of the spinny dish

[Anas Malas @CapacitAnas]

@saikenMD @BriAtCookiebox The spoon can be metal! The microwave itself is made of metal.

It just has to be smooth and not pointy - thats why a spoon is pictured. It's not a good idea to use a metal fork or knife in a microwave. You can use something wooden or a cup that's not perfectly smooth too

[Anas Malas @CapacitAnas]

@shimoyakigames @saikenMD @BriAtCookiebox Relevant song: https://t.co/NfrrrzaVGE

Fun fact: metal in the microwave IS fine, the microwave cavity itself is metal! The shape of the metal matters a whole lot though. No *sharp* or angular metal in the microwave is the real rule.

The photo shows a spoon, which is fully ok!

[Anas Malas @CapacitAnas]

@MMI_1000 @saikenMD @BriAtCookiebox With the bag inside (why) or with little floaty bits, sure!

Just the liquid, it can get superheated

[Anas Malas @CapacitAnas]

@Daedalus_Sy @i2cjak Too bad half the chips mentioned here are BGA and the other half is QFN :P
