New Custom Circuit Board Project- ProbeMaster is Born

Last week I finally started designing a project I’ve had in mind for several years. The concept is simple:

A basic breakout circuit board that I can connect to any device under test (DUT) and the result is many spare connections- some with on/off switches already in series and others unpopulated to add any components, connections and measuring equipment I desire.

The PCB design was done in KiCad which turned out pretty great I trhink:

Boards should be here by the end of the week and I will start on the video. As always- source files are in my GitHub repo so you can make your own too.

RESISTOR SUBSTITUTION BOX

This resistor box is pretty handy for any hobbyist or electronics work. It can dial-in any resistance value you want allowing you to work with just about any project and adapt it on the fly.
At just about $20 US it’s quite cheap for an electronics tool. The quality seems quite good and I am pretty happy with the purchase
If you’re into electronics inventions or repair check this out for a resistance box I think it’s pretty handy and deserves a police on my bench

PORTABLE ELECTRONICS LAB KIT PART 2

The intent of this portable kit is to be able to make electronics projects anywhere I go.

The basics are in oscilloscope multimeter soldering equipment some parts and micro controllers. With these or do we know parts in a laptop computer I can build just about anything at least to the prototype phase

With a small amount of money you can re-create this kit with your own equipment starting small you can build it up as I did. check out the video for full instructions.

New Machine Learning Group!

I finally got around to making a specific group for Machine Learning.

Since machine learning is a very niche topic I decided to Facebook group might be the easiest way. I also have all my machine learning files on GitHub.

I’ve been testing out tiny ML with edge impulse in the Arduino board and so far it’s looking promising but I won’t know till more later this week how well it works.
