🌐🛠️ Oh joy, another installment of Andrew's Quixotic quest to build a switch from scratch, because the world *definitely* needs more Ethernet switch DIY projects. Dive into the riveting saga of "What #Microchip won't tell you" — which, spoiler alert, is as thrilling as reading a cereal box. 🥱📚

I rediscovered an old friend from long ago! Stumbled over the remnants of my old Pond-in-a-barrel from 7 years ago and set it up again. I like that thing.

We're seeing some great progress on the hardware (FPGA) implementation of the Ember CPU! The Verilog simulation of the CPU on a Cyclone V FPGA in QuestaSim can now process LDI (Load Immediate) and MOV instructions. Next step, the ALU!

Currently working on a DIY solder fume extractor for my new @iFixit #FixHub soldering station. As a soldering novice I'm actually quite proud of what I've done so far :)

Stay tuned for another post once I've finished the project (currently still waiting on a USB-PD Trigger board tho so I can try powering everything directly from the FixHub's second USB-C port)...

[Project inspired by YouTuber "DIY Perks"]

A DIY solder fume extractor project in progress. The fume extractor is made from a box that has two holes with fans in them. Next to the upper fan is a button titled "LED" and two exposed wires (intended for an LED strip). Next to the lower fan is a flip switch titled "FAN" that is set to off.
In focus in the picture are a male and a female barrel jack connector end with the female one being completely DIYed and held together with hot glue.

The barrel jack ends are now connected, the FAN-switch set to on and the fans are spinning 🥳

The inside of the DIY solder fume extractor. It shows two fans (the upper one is already connected to the side of the box), two switches from the back, and a lot of messy wiring (soldered connections are covered by heatshrinks).

Ah yes, because we all know the main reason people don't tackle DIY projects is the lack of a highly gamified quiz platform 🛠️✨. Rent a hammer, learn how to use it, and save the planet one nail at a time, all while Patio pats itself on the back for single-handedly combating climate change 🌍🔨.
