I am going to make another collaboration to develop another electronic artwork. I should upload this and other works I've done at some point.

Considering buying the Power Profiler Kit 2, are there other options that are worthwhile?

A 286 computer with windows 3.1 that my aunt and uncle had.
At home I think I remember that the first one was already with windows 95.

I'm curious, peeps: what was the first computer you can remember using?
The first computer I would have used would have been the BBC Micro at primary school, but the first computer we had at home was a Commodore 64.

I'm getting very strange programming behaviour. It seems that the MCC is putting some kind of rubbish in my code that makes it stop working. It's a very simple project, I'm considering writing all the code without the MCC API.

I seem to have found the hard TagConnect TC2030-IDC-NL in Europe.

Product two test board.
If I hadn't sent it to production in a hurry and stopped to think for a second, I could have traced tracks that could have saved me so much wire.
After a lot of effort it all seems to be working.

The odyssey with the battery connector, and above all, everything I'm discovering, is enough for a blog post.

I have bought batteries for the projects I am working on. And it has turned out that the lipo with PH connector does not mate with my PH receptacle. Has it happened to anyone that the connector does not fit or fits too tightly? I don't mean that you have to press it gently, but more with a hammer.

Intense day of work on the test board. Repaired some blocks and some working tests. Looks good!

I'm happy with today's work, I soldered a little more than half of the board, and I was able to test that half of the board seems to work fine (the test point had the correct voltage).
It's a pity that the hot air station broke, I would have liked to have been able to assemble it all today.

Well, I'm done assembling any project for now.
My hot air soldering station just died, leaving me stranded in the middle of the assembly.
Recommendations for a new one? And maybe a hot plate for soldering 0402, DFN, XSON and other miniatures?

As if it wasn't difficult enough to solder 0402s by hand, there is the factor that when the component is taken off the reel, it is very easy for them to jump to infinity and never appear again.
When working with such small components it is necessary to always ask for extra.

Yes, it was very tight but everything went in. The silkscreen will be difficult to read, there wasn't much room. Routed in four layers. 50x20mm, most of the components are 0402.
When I finish assembling and testing the other projects that have arrived, I will send this one to production.

The components and PCB for one of the projects I am working on have also arrived. As soon as I finish the actual design I'll start testing it.

The missing PIA has arrived. I can't wait to get started on this project!
También tengo lo necesario para un 6502! CPU, ROM, RAM, ACIA, VIA y unos relojes. El PIA está de camino. Le tengo muchas ganas!
