Live Q&A
And there my live. I think I Am broadcasting live to the interwebs. Let me see, it's gonna work. Hello McFly Internet boy Owen baby oh shut up that is like 10 years old.
That intro I must change that. No I'm not there. Not there. Usually it pops up with it's got to be the delay theme.
Don't supposed to be live. It's not my second channel is it? I Push the wrong button? No no YouTube no eevblog. It's not Eevblog - nope not live there either. I Reckon it's just delayed.
the wonders of the interwebs live. Q&A There we go. Why doesn't show up on my our homepage? Because I'm visiting as me, don't there is an option somewhere to visit this site as a user or whatever. No, but I'm not I'm not logged in I'm not logged in.
so why didn't that show up? That's weird. Hello everyone that booking.com go away EDS haha we have the peeps. everyone's turned up I'll let the ED go through and can I pop out a chat. we don't make that guy pop out sorry I do housekeeping pop out doesn't work? hmm Joey hello from Malaysia Thank you Akhilesh Apparently I'm not cuz I kind of figure out how to do this stupid pop out thing.
Nope, doesn't work well. That really blows. That really sucks. All right.
Let me it's yeah. Wow I Can't see my own live video stream when I'm logged in. This is really YouTube is so crap. Unbelievable unbelievabl live chat.
All messages are visible I Want to pop out the dam and waste all my time? sorry I've only got now and I've already wasted ten minutes of it I Reckon ha. Geniusly, this yes got it working. except they didn't turn off my audio. There we go.
Alright now. cooking with gas? alright hey, thanks. Bugger off. Alright hello everyone now in the chat thank you very much and Zook and XO okay from Mexico Anyway I assume everyone can hear me, otherwise should be Um, yeah, picture-in-picture didn't work because like I was using Edge browser didn't work now I don't normally use edge I was just using it because I wasn't logged into anything.
it's the browser I use when I do screen captures and I'm not. You know it doesn't have any of my history I'm not logged into anything. it's just nice and clean anyway. mm-hmm hi Dave I'm interested in know what kinds of projects are good freakin candidates on resumes.
Is every project good enough? or should I put the pics most comprehensive ones on? Why? Yeah, you're not gonna pick air. You know, if you've got dozens and dozens a project, you're probably not gonna list them. You only get a list you really good ones. I Guess you could.
It's no problem why you can't list them all, but you might put more detail for the more comprehensive ones. But certainly your resume should ideally be tailored for the job that you're actually going for. You can have it like a blanket regular resume that you send to the recruitment agents and stuff like that. That's fine, but if you're applying to a space position and there's something you can tailor on your resume, there's extra detail you can put in on the stuff. You might think that they're either they've asked for or you might think that they're interested in, then definitely do that. Absolutely, absolutely so. I Can't tell you what kind of resume is it like? Some projects are just absolutely well buttoned. No projects useless on your resume, but some might be more appropriate than others, so it depends on the job you going for.
ESD Response: Some piece of B components in the near future. Really, you're talking about ESD Protection. Try bail. Kind of wanted to do that for a while.
like various different ways to protect your devices and stuff like that. but they're all going to protect like it's not like I can like demonstrate. Oh look, this one's better than this because this one will die. You know you.
I would have to have a progressively higher ESD discharge model that could like that goes really extreme way beyond stuff that would you know ordinarily be protected in order to see something die. So it's it's not. It's not easy to see that. not easy to see that.
I'm afraid what I'll do is I'll maybe pop that up there. there you go. Pull that down to there genius genius I am Anyway, I'm here until 7 o'clock It is now 10 past 6 cos 7 is when I pretty much have to go home it is Sunday night here. The the only reason I don't normally work on Sunday is the only reason I'm here at the lab as you can see is because I've been away for a week I've been on holidays for a week I just got back so then I'll be taking some more holidays very shortly.
a short one this week as well. So I've only got like three days this week to do something and even then I've got a ton of stuff which you got to do. My car has to get Reggio checked, my car has to get serviced, kids have various school holiday things. it's nuts.
mmm So I might Sagan might come in tomorrow morning and one might shoot mailbag. thank you very much Mariette message retracted I was about to read it emit message retracted okay thanks. don't know if I still get the money on up. What can I do with a spare Xbox360 power supply I don't know what is a couple under watts? I'm sure you do something with it.
What's it gonna have I don't know the specs and does it have a 3.3 direct rail out or is that done on the main board? Does it like you have liked it? Surely it have like 5 volts. 3.3 12 probably wouldn't have anything different for that. Probably have those three rails. Yeah Yeah you could like whack it in a box and put some I like you.
Yeah you could drill sir. If you, if it's an old xbox, you could drill some holes in the front. Maybe I can do that. I've got an old Xbox over there.
Maybe I could like turn into a it's a big power supply though. let's just be dumb really. But and then they have no lab features and stuff like that so that kind of be cool to know. what Xbox 360 into a into a bench power supply but then you'd have to put like a meter on it and stuff like that. and but then you're better off just buying one of those Aliexpress you know modules. the Id Tech ones one of those power supply modules and just feeding the feeding the power into that I think so. Anyway, that'll be kind of cool, but then you have to cut. how would you cut out on the front panel.
Next boss know you wouldn't rather be it. look crap. we get a lot of hits on YouTube I Did a video modify an Xbox no audio. No someone would have complained if there's no audio.
I had to go at the credit card puncher again this morning Def Con I'm still not seeing what the problem is. Did a few tweaking around by. the stuff that I didn't mention on the video is that it's filled with a fine powder like it's everywhere in the case. especially on that side.
But now I don't think it's the sensor coming from the disconnect in various senses and doing stuff. I don't and it's not the card thickness. it's the same as a standard credit card and I couldn't find a way to do that anyway. it's just it's not extracting, it's not extending the little tray thing that comes out.
And by the way, I figured out the tray has these two little clips under the bottom of it and I can't see without ripping the whole thing out. and seen on the other side, there is some sort of driving mechanism that sort of clamps that so it goes over the card like this and then it. it clamps clamps on the card, so that's why it doesn't need any support. at the other end, it can just grab the end of the card and hold it and move across.
So I figured that out, but it doesn't seem to be doing that. It's really annoying. So what do you do when your colleague is technically weak and is bringing your whole team down? Oh yeah, had those Just give them as little to do as possible. You ignore them.
Generally those sort of people who are technically very weak and they know whatever they got in because they fake their you know they days Bluff their way into the company, somehow fake their resume, fake their qualifications. Whatever you find out, they're totally useless. Like absolutely beyond regular, useless and they generally don't want to do anything anyway. They just want their cushy job and they want to, you know, not be not, be embarrassed or whatever.
So they generally won't try and doing it. So if you give them enough to do then, they'll probably be pretty happy. Mmm excuse me I'm still sick. by the way.
all of my holiday last week are sick anyway. Hmm now I haven't done any work on the C file. Where does the term the old dart come from? I'm not sure of the entomology of that term. sorry I don't but don't believe it's very clear the research on it isn't clear.
so Dave should have the answer to my questions. He is an electronic engineer so Dave now I've never heard of so in Vegas Speakers? Nope, no idea. Sure they're overhyped and overpriced. Meet: Mickey Tomica Trone's I Have no idea Calibration Procedure: a flute D of M which one there? There is a manual, there is a calibration manual and you enter the calibration mode with a boot sequence and it's got a all true sonic doesn't one of the flukes. the Fluke ad series have an ultrasonic or a buzzer. you know, a frequency buzzer interface for calibration and stuff like that. Um, do you suggest Altium for a company that doesn't design a lot or should consider other tools I Tried Eagle at that person liked it I don't know what to buy out him is perfect but price? well I mean if your company can afford if your company's willing to pay for out him, just get out him. If the company is willing not willing to pony up for that and you need to use something, you need to suggest something and you don't like Eagle Well find something you like and suggest that key codes getting really good.
It's free and yeah I Yeah I Don't know why you'd buy Eagle when key codes available. Now don't don't I say it's got integration. You know it's got the Fusion 360 integration and crap like that. but I don't know.
Yes, the Saturn 5 is in the background and he's a Lego Saturn 5 done the build video that Sagan to myself arm is something that breaks often. Is it printed X Y Zed Can you find out the strong points and give them work? According to that, sometimes they just don't have any strong points, some people are just entirely useless I've had people like that. Needless to say, I didn't iron Thank You Mehdi Marty Trickster finding out leakage capacitors in circuit. Anyone? answer my question.
you use a ESR world. Leaking them leaking usually means that the ESR Z increase you. What an in circuit ESR Tester Well-liked enough as possible for me to use vacuum sensors to measure actual vacuum pressure. I Have no idea Vacuum see I Have no idea about vacuum based systems I'm not a mechanical mechatronics engineer.
Ya get better before the next holidays and I just got over beans I took a whole almost a whole week off work like a week before I went on holidays and then I was kind of okay for a week, got some work done and then went on holidays and I was we were all sick? All of us Just yeah. it was terrible. Etymology: yeah, and not entomology. Yes exactly.
Samwell Pc 5000 What's that don't remember? All right, it's new meter is it? Well I don't have one. So I guess the answer's no. What happened the Raspberry Pi Stack Project I lost interest in it. You know it happens.
Why would I make a 4G to 3G or 2g converter so people can use older phones or tech. Is that is that even possible? And why would I build one? I'm sure if there's such a thing exists, you can just buy it right. I don't understand. Is 5 volts used in digital electronics used because of a necessary physics reason? Or is it just a nice round number? It's pretty much just a nice around number. I think I maybe did know the history of why 5 volts is a thing? It was like oh yeah no. I used to know that I'm not going to I'm not going to say because I'm almost certainly going to be wrong. It's it's not a physics well it's a physics thing in that the early logic it needed like you needed a minimum amount you couldn't work them at 3.3 volts like you do these days or or at lower. Just the just the technology at the time.
But why 5 volts plus minus 5 percent actually became a standard I Guess they chose that when they had TTL and they designed the original TTL because ECL was different before that and DTL DTL was like was somewhat different. Again, all that work from 5. So yeah, I'm not sure the exact history there. That's an interesting question.
No, sorry, rent a car I Can't suggest a good source for Dev boards I'm just not up on this sort of stuff like people asked me this sort of stuff all the time and it's like oh sorry, I'm just not up on you know, all the latest Dev boards or books or you know things like that. I Just like because I'm not in a position of you know currently learning with ESP or at Mile chips for example. if I was then I'd probably be across it. but unfortunately I'm not.
Are you gonna make any of the projects? It'd be fun to see some of them being made in the current age. Oh yeah, that'd be interesting wouldn't it? Although a lot of my old. The last survey I did showed that people weren't really interested in the old magazine stuff and things like that like I was going to do host it Note: Cheers! Okay, it's wondering where that post-it note went, but anyway I was going to look at it I Found this old magazine when it's clearing out the old lab and it's Elector from May 1996 and it's got this logic analyzer project in there webcam Oh Piffle Pathol let me kill this. that was my media thing that didn't work my anyway yeah I was going to focus you bastard.
Yeah this project here 64 channel logic analyzer and as it turns out, this is near identical to my project which I published two months later and no I didn't copy it because I didn't I we didn't get electoral here in Australia at the time and and I submitted mine I died showing a video of me designer and I designed my own back in November Eighty Ninety Five and this is May 96 and I sent it in months before because there's a month in a couple of months pipeline at least to get it published and it's near identical to mine. it dumb it in fact uses it uses the the latest is P 10, 16 and 20 32. Yeah it uses the 10 16 chips exactly like I used on mine uses the parallel port interface. some of the triggering I think some of the triggering logic is a different to mine but overall like functionally absolutely I don't like you know basically identical design to mine. uses us six to 256 chips. Mine was only a 32 channel design and I was just gonna do a video. Maybe I could put it on the second channel. actually just comparing the two their their software was text-based not nearly as good as my software that I had for mine.
there's looks text-based pretty good job' for made a tech space but I did mine as a graphics based thing I wrote that in bull and Pascal I think and anyway anyway yeah, it's just gonna do like you know, design Deja Vu like two different designers on the opposite side of the planet publish an almost identical project at the same time using the same chips I You know it's it's really remarkable, but there's reasons for it and I just thought that might be interesting. Hands up, if you think that would make an interesting video, most people wouldn't most people gave me whatever, you know. anyway. John Richards Follow me on Twitter Do I have an electric car? If not, why not follow me on Twitter Last month I Just debated that to the hilt and answer that very question in extensive detail on Twitter the reason is cost here in Australia to buy an electric car is ridiculously expensive and we don't have nearly the same range.
You want a Tesla here? seven to one? Eighty thousand dollars, Thank you very much. I'm not gonna pay eighty thousand dollars for a car. that's for the Model three, right? You want a a regular Model S or whatever it is. Yeah, a hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
It's a luxury car here in Australia The model three barely gets under our luxury car tax here in Australia. That's why they'd have an electric car. And it's not just Tesla's it's all. Electric cars here are crazy expensive because there's no subsidies here if the import taxes and just that the volumes we do nothing volume here.
It's very expensive to keep ship a car all the way to Australia and yeah, they're a love an electric car. there's just too expensive. I'm not gonna pay ya 70,000 80,000 dollars for a bloody electric car Jesus Anyway, follow me on Twitter I I Did screenshots of all the Tesla by page and everything. extensive and pissed off a lot of the Tesla fanboys which is always fun.
It's always fun to poke the Tesla fanboys take the Elon Musk fanboys. I've got to build the new Lego I've got it I've got new Lego Apollo 11 little Lander got to build it Unfortunately, like everything's happened like we you know who took a week's holidays. But another thing happening towards the end of this week, the school holidays are happening. There's tons of stuff for that.
and then the Apollo anniversary's coming up. I've got I'm doing something for that I won't be here again I'm gonna have no time for content. it's crazy. Well better like keep up with the Joneses dude.
and as I'm not gonna get I'm not gonna waste this thing I've already done it on Twitter Y&S and leaf I've already done it on Twitter I did to the enth degree I went in and looked at all the used car sales I took screenshots I posted them. It's why I don't have an electric car here in Australia either new or secondhand. sorry but I'm not I'm just not gonna. Maybe we should do like a second channel video so that everyone knows hands fo I should probably do that. Probably should have done their thing. So oh I'll write that down. It's like why I don't buy an electric car in Australia ma'am maybe Maya tied us Amaya tied us for not wanting to spend 50 grand on a used electric car in Australia like that my last car cost me like 17 grand and that was a used Toyota Corolla was almost new you know I didn't buy it new but that trick car price video yeah I might do something like that because yeah, just loved it. Oh if anything I'll give a ton of comments.
you know it's good engagement I always put on the second channel should I I've seen the it keeps popping up the Polo AGC restoration video but I haven't watched and you know I flick through the occasional one but I haven't been following them as such they keep popping up YouTube can't recommend into me how do you gather such a huge amount of knowledge? You electronics they remember it. You do by by doing it for 40 years. That's how you know more than that. and I still don't know much.
Ever heard of Nano? VNA I've seen the Nano VNA Yes, but I'm not into like. you know, it's not really my thing. it's more more like a Sharia thing from the signal path. He's more into stuff like that.
Yes, I've got a cold, my voice is terrible. Everything's terrible. No, you didn't miss a video. the fix of the solar system.
put a new box for it and I have no idea what the Sophia robot is. They really care all that much now. I've never done a radio build video. no I'm not into RF and radio no sorry I don't know any good books on RF engineering.
I'm not into RF Raspberry Pi for it's like meh. whatever like it's got dual HDMI output does it. It's it's got Ddr3 RAM now or something which is better apparently. but it's like yeah, okay, it's another upgrade.
Look at the right hand of my mum about it. Faith mics, electric stuff, big live and Eevblog getting or fight. Who wins? What kind of fight is it? It's the best alternative. Solder and wire with letter.
Are you still using leg because it's better now. I've switched over the lead-free I rarely use Led these days. To lead-free is fine, just get used to it. Doesn't look as good, but you know once you've used it for a while, you just get used to it.
It's fine. We've got two different sizes of lead-free and I just use of pretty much everything. I Have no intention of reviewing a hand tech scope meter from Aliexpress You know me? sorry I can't validate your purchase decision. That's what everyone wants everyone does I Just bought this.
Can you review it? You just want me to validate your purchase Like unbelievable the worst for that. with the T Sts-100 fanboys soldering iron I've got the TS 100. It's the best thing ever. It's changed my life. Can you review it? Piss off? And then I did do a review of it and I found that the tears ad was I found the T SAT better like just epic meltdown. Epic meltdown no pun intended. Ah, get it. Meltdown anyway.
mm-hmm yeah. so I simply remove that video because I'd still be getting emails every day for years video still out there somewhere. Let's go manic pollution. What alone it was.
Crock a pan Jack and pancake and catch pen pen itch silent K you should bash Elon Musk Guitar mus good like the Thunderfoot does I give Elon a bashing when he deserves it and praise when he deserves it. So what? I've done videos calling out his solar roof tiles and stuff like that probably be on Twitter and you'll see that I Do this all the time. How do interest youngsters into electronics? Well, that's tough finding it port Peter Paul was it sorry Oh I've lost it scrolled up How do you? I really T s ad doesn't have any more tips. Really, that's disappointing.
but really it's not a it's just a it's just an iron for use out in the field or whatever if you're using as your everyday. I and I think you're doing it wrong. but you know, whatever now. I've never made a day lik hi from India Which country am I from? Geez, he would be behind from Australia What are your thoughts on a high current buck-boost attached to a server power supply possibly controlled via Arduino Thank You cued us from attached Would I do I don't know Nelson that's too kind of I'd have to ask a million questions before I could answer that I Suspect no I have no thoughts of building my own electric car? No, it's a I don't have the time to do it be I don't have the space to do it I don't have.
Yeah, it's it's just not gonna happen like I literally have no time I've got a wife and two kids and like and in a business and like I Yeah no I just don't at the time. Oh all the space. I Literally don't have anywhere to work on such a car. even if I did love to sure right? It's kind not my thing.
I wouldn't I can. Well, I used to service my own car. you know it's that's not like I'm I'm totally incapable. but you know the the thought of me ripping out engines and and and and stuff? No, that's just not my thing.
It's not my thing. that's a huge long-term project. and no I do know someone who did it. Oh I know a couple of people who've done it actually I know someone who did it a long time ago.
like 15 years ago or something before. it was a thing before. Like you know nobody was doing it and they took an old ice car and stripped it down. and you know before you know you couldn't get you know, battery management, controllers and stuff like that.
He vblog Super Care super pack all your products in one box. I Don't know why everyone would want all of them. Do you have any advice for someone who's interested in electronics as a hobby yet is mathematically challenged? English Is your strong but isn't? is my strong point BBC 600 asks peaceful-like add force and why going here? Don't we get rid of that? No thanks. And there was question. don't don't don't worry about the maths. You can do an awful lot Many top-notch successful engineers go their entire career without needing much more than Ohm's law. Really? Um, and yeah, I'd I Wouldn't be concerned, especially at the hobby level. Guy can do tons of stuff without ever worrying about any sort of heavy duty maths at all.
Yeah, don't worry about that now. just start building stuff that you're interested in and the rest of it will solve itself. Would you review my device I Invented. It's the best.
It has a pill T in the dehumidifier that's not dehumidifier. It is a great or even be better when it will do something. Oh yes, I wish somebody pointed that out to me. the the water see how it how they had a finished product they were selling.
Apparently they've had it for a long time. Like six months. Nine months or something. Did the YouTube ad Pocalypse affect you very harder? Is it still safe to bet your livelihood on producing content for you? It didn't affect me at all I had no noticeable drop at all due to ad pocalypse 1.0 ad pocalypse 2.0 Or what are we up to 3.0 or something with the new bloody Carlos Meza Um no.
but yeah, you're dumb if you Bank everything on producing content on YouTube because apparently like there's talk that YouTube I think they may have publicly said it. although I've never seen this so it's hearsay is that they want to eventually get rid of YouTube life they want to get rid of YouTube live. They wouldn't mind if comments just vanished like comments. Go look at what any of the kids video channels go look at.
You know Ryan's toy reviews or any one of the ten million other toy channels that are making millions of dollars a year. Wish I'd thought of it and and none of them have comments. It's because YouTube has switched off comments on everything and youtuber now going All this is really good. Look at this.
there's no there's no hate anymore on YouTube Oh, isn't at all warm and fuzzy and friendly? So they are. Yeah, they plan on like yeah, well they would in there. They're putting out the feelers to see if you know more. YouTube comments can be switched off on more types of videos and eventually you know there'll be nothing left YouTube won't be you anymore.
it'll just be a bunch of corporate shield videos and with no ability to engage with the content creator. So anyway, ya know, have quit. Ah, some large German channels have quit as an example. Have they any in the engineering field? Any in the engineering field. Ah, it's a good strategy. CPU To recap if you've got like 40 year old gear, 30 year old gear. just a recap. Everything's a good if you're really serious about long-term success of your products.
You only dropped 30 percent in past two months. Have life def Pom Wow But that was time of year. it's mid mid year. Maybe that was in the past two months? Maybe that was the end of financial year ad spend going down.
Sure that's not part of the natural cycle I have my own business I don't work for anyone? yeah make your money outside of YouTube Sorry I'm not going to Sicily I have no idea about the hand take oscilloscopes. Lots of try to hand take oscilloscope was pretty crap I failed my first year electrical engineering study. Any tips on how to study for my why try Cami l I'm no sorry I always sucked at studying I barely made it I know you don't want tips from me. trust me? no no you can get your tips from someone else there I'm definitely no.
got the attention span of a gnat? no no I'm gonna come to study and that wasn't my thing. Yeah what was that about I watch electro boom occasionally midis pretty funny. Yeah of course def Pom yeah if if YouTube turned off comments on YouTube I'd still upload to YouTube because its YouTube and you get searches and views and that you know I'm gonna try. it's traffic to your website and everything else.
move over to shoot obviously cuz I yeah I Love getting the feedback an answering. That's the that's the whole point of viewing YouTube is is that we love getting the feedback good or bad be Vic I Look I don't know. What's your budget on the soldering iron? What's your budget on the soldering station? What's your local budget? The new pace 80s 200s quite nice I Like that. but the venerable FX Triple 8d from Hack OHS You know, still decent.
It's fine. So yep. Bulgor Resource about PCB Design Rules Best practice. Well I have my PCB Design tutorial if you search YouTube for Piece of Be Designed tutorial.
you'll find a very old article of mine about Piece of Be Designed that'll get you started. Mmm I Don't think there's any other books out there though. Yes I just saw been either his breadboard in a VGA card. Yeah I have watched part one started cracking down and hacking tutorials.
Really? Why have you got any links or evidence for that jazz? Yes. Yep. Get plenty of sleep. I was just watching a caramel what it was the other day, but a yeah yeah.
a doc Oh on how to how to remember stuff actually. And yeah, Do Not cram asleep your body, your hippocampus, your hippocampus processes and then distributes throughout your brain overnight while you sleep. So you know you do say you're cramming all day. You're cramming all day.
You might do an example test and you can't do it. You can't do it. That's because your brain hasn't taken that short-term memory and process the stuff that it thinks is important and put it into the rest of them. Neural Network It does that while you sleep. So it's why when you in the morning, when you sleep, you'll find that you come up and that you wake up. You do the test again and you can do it. It's it's one of those things you need sleep to process. Mm-hmm no I have not been to Shenzhen and that's not the correct spelling as everyone will point out.
I'm sure you wanted to youtube channel a 1 million views then it got shut down. How'd you make a thousand bucks from a million views? Oh yeah you could Yeah CPM of $1 Yeah, why do you get shut down? Well I hate this when I like stop to read on something and then I scroll again. It's like you discover channel I yeah it's still happening. it's need to get off my arse I have plans I always have plans yes I'm on library lbr Why? how brought a video networks you use yes broad I mean I'm sure you mean yeah yeah I'm on I'm on library on my shoot I'm on Vimeo heck I'm everyone on dailymotion who me all videos are real crap quality and probably more that I forget I was undie to but one point Berdychiv was really awful a Julian just found my channel very exciting thank you.
You've only got like 1,200 videos to catch up on more. Why do people keep talking about furries in the chat every time I do a chat someone brings up furries I didn't give a about fairies. Why would I care? Why would I think anything about them. It's like whatever.
Do whatever you want, knock yourself out thank you Joe and dress up as a dog or identify as a dog or something or a bear. Knock yourself out as long as it doesn't affect me I don't care a VFD drive teardown I do actually have some VFD drives here to tear down like I've had one for donkey's years and I think it's a seaman's one and I could certainly do that I could certainly do that. No I don't I'm not into audio so I haven't played with Eurorack synthesized a year. Sure it has lots of Welo modules.
Oh the hacking I write hacking. videos have been cracking down because yeah, I don't cuss enough. If you know me a real life, you know III drop the F-bomb and I do cuss a lot more. Yeah now I tried I tried not to do an interview I deliberately try not to drop F-bombs in my videos.
It's a dingo dollars dingo dollars dingo dollar redos. Why are you getting some chat pod or something going live leak and don't have my videos of live leak. New policies that talking about hacking are there Okay interesting I have to check those out rights. The hairy arms I have like people talk about fairies.
fairly hairy arms I Guess you know. Yeah, not particularly hairy. Like a big hairy back or something. a big hairy chest.
Thank you for the five Swiss Francs Thank You Marco no I Don't live near the ocean Doctor live see I am I Live in live in the Hills District which is about 30 kilometres inland from the ocean suburbs. and the burbs no I are sorry I did switched Ah sorry, yeah, yeah I should have switched. Chapter I was a live chat in a different window before I did this Don't micro supply micro supply micro supply is happening. There's a case. there's some custom brackets, custom custom bracket II things that connect to the banana plugs to the PCB David is currently in possession of all of the micro supply stuff. We've got four or five prototypes built and he's still working on USB issues or something like that. He he works from home now. it's just more convenient for him and and he's got the only fully built, new, fully built prototype I don't have one here yet I have no idea about the rust for embedded programming I'm not the person who asked I don't know I'm still a plain vanilla sea man.
sorry Nope. Jetson No, no no idea what's the best frequency for a switching power supply. It depends on how you design it. Generally speaking, higher frequency is going to be more efficient, but then you get more losses.
Judo into winding capacitance and all sorts of the switching losses and gate capacitance switching all sorts of stuff. You get it. It's a huge trade-off there. There's no answer.
There's no best frequency for switching. The best frequency for your switching power supply will be whatever the best frequency is for your switching power supply design. yeah, sorry. And then and then you've got different.
You might have variable frequency for different modes. you know, if it goes into sleep mode whoop, you might you know you might change the frequency and stuff like that and gets switches that auto switch the frequency for example, have different efficiencies for different power modes and things like that. I Think artificial intelligence will have zero effect on manual electronic design. not least bit worried about that at all.
Any upcoming videos on DDR routing? No. I've got no projects that use DDR out him. so if I was to do that, I would need a some sort of practical project although one project that technically it's kind of half done kinda sorta. No, it's not half done.
but David was working I was getting him to just do do the schematics in the background like the schematic symbols. We're going to make our own Ddr4 module like our own Dib module. We're going to actually make our own Dib module to see if we could actually make one cheaper than what we could buy it. and I thought that would make an interesting video and I still do.
I Still do so? Yeah, Yeah, yeah, that'd be interesting, but you got to go all the way with LBJ on that. No, I could release a part one because I think we've got the schematic symbols for the chips and stuff and whatnot. I think David David did the schematic symbols for the chips? can't remember where were at where we're out on that. but yeah, yeah, that was idea.
that was one of our ideas for a video was to do our design our own DIMM module PC you know, leading-edge kind of, you know, Ddr module. just the kicks to see if you know, see if we could build our own one of course we can and whether or not we could get the chips and whether or not it would actually work out cheaper to actually buy the bear chips design the board like not counting our design hours to actually design it. but to buy the chips and you know it's not much else on there. You know there's some termination resistors and bypass caps and stuff, but generally that's not much else on there. I Get the get the chips and then of course boards are cheap these days, although you would need your eight or ten layer board or whatever. but yeah, that that was that. That would have been interesting. It's a lot of work, but we did start on that.
How long will the stream end? I've got to go shortly, another five minutes so if anyone's got any, ya know if your loan. If you're a student and you're not learning out him Designer, you're not gonna be in the game. In the job market, you want out him designer on your resume, No one cares about Dip Trace. Put Dip Trace on your resume.
Almost nobody's gonna care. Put Eagle on their thing and most people won't care about that. No, they want Dip Trace. it's heard they want they want out him designer.
trust me. My eyebrows has an awesome 90 degree angle in it. What? I Have no idea what speed the memory was gonna be I don't know we we. we looked at the details cuz I was a year ago now I think yes I'm unwell.
yes I'm not. Well yeah, yeah. I would have made an opensource. sure no I'm not in the ham radio.
Do you get much engagement or other non youtube channels? Oh I'm decent man I'm bit. shoot it's not bad. You know considering the knee, you know the engagement versus viewers? Yeah shoots come along. it's coming along well.
hit a thousand subscribers soon. Yeah. the signal in STS 1104 X the the XE the X or the XE hates Eaglets name in terminology. the X is the latest one is the one I've gotten.
It's pretty good. scope. Might might be the leading front-runner in the four in the bank. per buck for Channel One, it's not the cheapest.
This is through the Rogue I'll still cheaper. How do you program the Ddr4 module? Are there's a nice Quincy thing? apparently? I can't recall details, but I think there's an I squared C interface to it and you can actually get software to program them which could sit like the channel. That's how your bias sets. You know all the channel stuff and things like that.
How to become electronic scientist? that terminology is not really right. and electronics engineers study electronics engineering. Or you do electronics engineering projects and then you get a job. No Hablas.
Fine, no the hard way. job markets not dying getting replaced more and more. No, No. I just go to four layers. Mister Zoggles, it'll It'll give you a far more options and there's hardly any cost penalty these days. Really, no four or four layers will open up your design options immensely. So definitely don't be afraid to go to four layers. I would I would jump to 4 layers? Yep, no back when if back when it was four times the price or something.
Yeah, that was a big reason to limit yourself to two layers. Now there's not the Proto. The full layer proteins are so cheap. Seriously, it's really changed in just in the last couple of years.
Oof did I enjoy engineering school? Oh yeah, had its ups and downs. Let's just say say that I hated all the advanced math, hated having to do anything that wasn't electronics related. You know. heck, we have to do civil engineering.
We're to do mechanical engineering and I hate it I didn't know I can remember uni I had to go out on site and learn how to use a theodolite. It's ridiculous, you know, like it's just like silly stuff. Anyway, yeah no. I I didn't like anything that wasn't electronics design.
Yeah the 10-million advanced maths classes I kind of enjoyed physics. you know it's but yes I do actually really have an uncle Bob I actually do have an uncle Bobby's dead now, sadly died recently. but no I do have an uncle Bob Bob literally is my uncle Angus I'ma strangle Uncle Bluey to anyway I better call it quits cuz it's five past seven. So thank you very much everyone for joining me.
It's impromptu video because I guess I was I Had nothing better to do for an hour and a half before I went home. Well, always got something better to do but you know all the low tenth bismuth solder paste. yeah I use some of that once for rework. yeah I don't know, it's it's kind of weird.
Yeah, nothing wrong with being a jack-of-all-trades Yes. I enjoy the Q&A it's why I do him should do it more. turn off my studio lights. they don't like the up too much.
I've only got on my 50% brightness because there's pitch black outside now right now I Can see they're imprinted in my eyes anyway. look I could I could be here all night? unfortunately. no poor links in the chat. What? All right? Sexy, right? Yeah.
Can we go to go to chat? What is? I'm not I'm not logged in, right? Yeah yeah. I'm not logged in Firefox is critically out of date. Good thing I don't use Firefox yeah I prefer summer. well, this winter rubbish I'm sick of winter hatin' on daylight saving anyway.
Alright I better go everyone. Thanks for joining me Cross infect the rest of the family I think they gave it to me. kids got it from the germ Factory that is school anyway. Yep.
thanks everyone. So I couldn't do it longer like five hours like I normally do, but you know it's now almost ten past seven. Gotta get home to the family. Catch you next time.
Figure out to in this bugger.
That would be like shooting oneself in the foot would it not, Darren Kitchen is not going to be very happy.
Why do people ask about your opinion of furries here? It’s an electronics channel. Sure, there are a lot of us in the furry fandom who are into electronics as a career or a hobby, but that crossover really isn’t pertinent here. (Maybe it gets asked because Big Clive seems to have a lot of watchers who are furries.)
Hi Dave
Being an old guy from the 80s..we had noproblems doing The whole read writer's
Drill your holes in the x..funny
I love your lab Sir
"some people are just entirely useless" 😀 so true
Indeed it does
Hey
Anyway do we have some electronics this evening
Amazing how technical you are but v
Can't figure out this bullshit
Heh Mr David Love you
One station or the other who cares
McFly's says yes
Dave, you can get DDR4 PCB reference design from JEDEC site for free (but in Cadence Allegro format).
Dave, you may want to Edit/blur out the "screenshot" of your email inbox
Hey dave, if you're on Firefox you can press CTRL+Shift+P to open a private window so you're not logged in to anything.
I would like to see comparison of your logic analyzer design Vs that magazine design

And than messure3.3 DC on the Keysight and Rigol 1054Z, there will be a surprise.
Sound and video is good.
Good morning from Germany:
