My first completed project of 2020 will be finished soon, 4 months, 3 revisions, 1100+ RGB LED’s, lots of swearing and the odd soldering burn!
I call it #discoball😁

@badobsessionmsp This is spectacular! Machine Automation?🤔

@jrsikken @Farnell_Avnet @Vina_hycap if that's the case I believe we have also received a bag of them from one of the other catalogue suppliers, not cool

[HiboTronix @HiboTronix]

@jrsikken @Farnell_Avnet @Vina_hycap These are shipped discharged (with a small recovery voltage) according to this doc Jasper

Hmm, I’ll never need to clean big boards says 2020 me :)

That should sort out my boredom, very impressed so far with my @ByteDelightCom order! (especially the wafels 😋) #ZXSpectrum #retrogaming

Offering the same service as usual this year: stuck in a shitty situation over the holidays and want an excuse to leave? Drop me a DM and I'll call you with whatever pretext you prefer - emergency at work, server's down, friend needs an emergency dog-sitter, or whatever.

[HiboTronix @HiboTronix]

@drfootleg nice looking board there! :)

[HiboTronix @HiboTronix]

@eevblog @LockPickingLwyr didn’t huxleypig pick one of those in a few minutes? Abloy locks are my goto, expensive, but good enough to keep the majority away from my equipment :)

[HiboTronix @HiboTronix]

excuse my ignorance but what is this blocking 1/6 of my screen?

@mishkathebear @femtoduino phallic🤣

[HiboTronix @HiboTronix]

@mishkathebear @femtoduino vswr is a bit ugly, but the esp should run a bit cooler than it did ;)

[HiboTronix @HiboTronix]

Oversized circuit sculpture, crying out for some neopixels :) @MohitBhoite @jipraus

[HiboTronix @HiboTronix]

@femtoduino it could look like the worlds smallest walkie talkie! ;)

[HiboTronix @HiboTronix]

@femtoduino better but i fear having the usb housing as part of your ground plane will mean what your doing now is the best option, can you add an extra arm to the femu form factor to really get that antenna away from the ground?

[HiboTronix @HiboTronix]

@matseng Thanks, I found this which helped...

SC70 2.8mmx2.0mm❌
SOT363 2.5mmx1.72mm❌(I need 0.1mm clearance)
SC88A/SOT353 2.4mmx2.1✅

[HiboTronix @HiboTronix]

Help Please Twitterverse, I need a general purpose PNP small signal transistor whose SMD footprint falls inside a 2.5mmx2.5mm area! (I’m aware of DFN1006/0806, i’m looking for others) :)

[HiboTronix @HiboTronix]

blessing or curse? ;)

[HiboTronix @HiboTronix]

@femtoduino @mishkathebear if so you should do the zero ohm test outside the usb housing to see what effects it has. It might shift the resonant frequency when inserted and you might be able to design it out. This might be good to know before the next revision:)

[HiboTronix @HiboTronix]

@femtoduino bad news, was this tested in the usb port housing (grounded)? @mishkathebear

[HiboTronix @HiboTronix]

@femtoduino you might find it easier to start with a zero ohm resistor in the pi network series element and build upon that if required:)
