A soldering gun is an approximately pistol-shaped, electrically powered tool for soldering metals using tin-based solder to achieve a strong mechanical bond with good electrical contact. The tool has a trigger-style switch so it can be easily operated with one hand. Soldering guns are often used where more heat is needed than from the lower-power →
Wireless charging for toothbrushes offers a convenient and cable-free solution. Wireless charging eliminates the need for physical connectors or USB cables. Toothbrushes are commonly used in wet environments (bathrooms), and wireless charging systems for toothbrushes can be designed to be water-resistant. It’s a well-known fact that electronics and water do not go together. Most electric →
Behringer X32 mixer abuse video https://youtu.be/LlmQrF0TimU?si=Bu_Ss_NCZ9KfYj8O X32 Fader Abuse (#1 @ Assembly 2017 wild demo compo) “Real wild” is a category of realtime demos for strange platforms and hardware that don’t fit any of the standard categories (like PC, 4k, oldschool etc). Basically a fun “everything else” category. Here’s a bit of explanation about the →
A high voltage probe allows an ordinary voltmeter to measure voltages that would otherwise be too high to measure or even destructive. Typically normal multimeters are typically designed to measure voltage up to hundreds of volts or one kilovolt. If you need to measure higher voltage, you need to use a high voltage probe. A →
Analysts and experts have looked into their crystal balls and made their cybersecurity predictions for 2023. Here is a collection of cyber security trends from many cyber security trends lists I have found published on-line. In my list I first show the information source and next a short overview what this source listed. Is your →
Venerable Ethernet provides the backbone of the internet. Ethernet has risen to complete dominance for local area networks over its forty years of existence. The first Ethernet experimentals versions started in 1972 (patented 1978). The commercialization of Ethernet started in 1980′s. At first Ethernet technology remained primarily focused on connecting up systems within a single →
STMicroelectronics STM32 32-Bit ARM® Cortex®-M MCUs are based on the Arm Cortex-M processor. The MCUs offer a 32-bit product range that combines very high performance, real-time capabilities, digital signal processing, and low-power, low-voltage operation. This is achieved while maintaining full integration and ease of development. There is a large range of STM32 devices, based on →
This signal tracer/injector has been designed to inject or detect a specific signal into an audio circuit in need of repair (such as amplifiers, radios, tone controls, …) so as to detect the fault. Signal tracer/injector is typically used when testing audio frequency circuits (there are also tracer/injector circuits for other applications as well). With →
The mixers in question are Panasonic WJ-MX50 Video Mixers. The picture was taken on Assembly Computer festival many years ago. The beer and cider taps were not operational when the place was used as video control room. The two video mixers were used in the application because one was producing material to the projection screen →
