people say things like "breadboards are 10 MHz max" (basically true) from which they derive conclusions like "pin headers, which have the same pitch as a breadboard, are 10 MHz max" which are entirely false. although you do need to treat it like a transmission line above ~20 MHz or nothing will work

A warning in Chrome says “‘uBlock Origin’ was turned off. This extension is no longer supported. Chrome recommends that you remove it.” Underneath the warning, there are two buttons: a white “Manage extension” button, and a heavier blue “Remove” button.A mouse cursor dragging Google Chrome into the Trash.

Building a mini SDR with custom silicon.

I combined a couple of projects from TT6 and TT7 and receive some FM modulated signals !

Go watch the video if that sounds cool : youtu.be/ynHy9gpcBgc

Thumbnail for the video.

Background is a colorful spectrum view ( from gr-fosphor ) showing an FM modulated carrier. There is also a fuzzy diagram representing a basic SDR with antenna, mixer, LO, ADC.

On the right side, in bright pink there is the TinyTapeout logo and the letters "SDR".

Longshot ask, but any EE friends,

Any of you know of any comparable FOSS flow that can match something like HyperLynx for SI simulation?

Like if I want to validate that a DDR4 bus is routed fine, provided I have the transmitter and receiver IBIS models.

Soooo one of the rear cameras and the front camera now work (for some definition of work) on the OnePlus 6?!!

fwiw this was taken in low light

Thanks to the mysterious DrGit who showed up with the patches. Seriously awesome!

@arturo182 I bought a "portable" soldering iron like this some years ago (w/o the mouse lol) that was horribly bad

@azonenberg Beautiful! Why so many Murata DC-DCs btw? Some power domains don't seem to need so much current

Today in irresponsible #science marketing bullshit: #UWaterloo puts out a real turd of a press release, linked below.

The press release: "[our stuff] senses glucose levels for diabetics more accurately than ever before"

The actual research: basically a better antenna that can distinguish between distilled water and a ~25000 mg/dL glucose solution absent any other factors. For context: At around 500 mg/dL you're dead.

Link to the press release:
