There’s a slight lull in the Office, so this is just a filler post to briefly touch on the thin 0.8mm PCBs. More than a decade ago, when I was scouring locally for someone to make printed circuit boards (aka PCBs), most companies would only produce them with the standard thickness of 1.6mm. They are […]

20250416 C&C Tesla Trooper: Reprogramming the Tesla Emitter
I am happy to report that the Solution worked. Earlier, I mentioned that there were two possible solutions. I would either redo the whole program or, switch the ports. Coming back from Work exhausted, I tried the latter and yeap, it worked. The next thing is to re-program the chip and already being tired, I […]
20250414 C&C Tesla Trooper: First Test of the Tesla Emitter
The 0805 SMD Ice Blue LEDs arrived faster than I expected today. I chose Ice Blue because this is the only shade of blue which I loved and it is literally the same colour of the Starship Warp Coils of the Star Trek genre. When the Blue LED came out during the turn of the […]
20250412 C&C Tesla Trooper: The Circuit Board
I got the circuit board back from JLCPCB a few days ago. Although I was excited but with some Fever mixed with bout of the Flu, Gout attack and a tennis elbow all rolled into one, I had to stay in bed as soon as I came back from Work. Just sitting on the Works […]
20250406 C&C Tesla Trooper: The Tesla Emitter
The Circuit Board The original PCB that came from the Kit was very good and the unique feature is that it can be controlled using a magnet. However, I would still like to design my own solution because I really love the design of the Tesla Emitter. The first step in creating a circuit board […]
