20241013 Lighting for the AndersFP Blaster Pt.22 – Starting Production Pt.01
About 5 days ago, the circuit boards has arrived and you can say, I was overjoyed because this signals the completion of the prototyping stage and into the production stage. As usual, a small project grew into a sizeable challenge and the saving grace was that I was able to learn a few things from […]
20241011 MELF-ing Away
At one time, the MELF (Metal Electrode Leadless Face) SMD components were the rage. They are love vibrations (it got dropped/knocked?), almost immune to thermal shocks (someone left it in the freezer and took it out?), better heat dissipation, and long-term stability in operation. Heck, when compared to the normal chip resistors (eg. 0805 and […]

Soldering: A process of joining two metals with a molten metallic filler (i.e. solder). There you have it. A very simple process of creating a (or an electrical) bond between two metals. The statement is simple enough without taking into consideration such as oxidation, types of solder, soldering procedures and so on. But today, I […]
