I have come across this resistor in some boards and mostly, from the Internet. My mind was thinking, why, of all things, do you need a zero resistance component on a circuit board? This weird component comes in both through-hole and SMD packages too. But for this post, I am concentrating on the surface mount […]

Like it or not, AI (Artificial Intelligence) is coming to us. In the past few weeks, I have seen posts on Facebook showing how AI can now do movies with less or little errors compared to a year ago. Even the images now are so real, it is quite hard to tell it apart and […]
20240819 Lighting for the AndersFP Blaster Pt.14
And it’s away to JLCPCB. All these revisions are costing me quite a bit in terms of cash and more importantly, time. Every time a design is sent out to them, I would only get it in about an average of 2 weeks. So, I have to check the design very carefully and be certain. […]
20240726 LIR2032 vs CR2032
The normal PKD2019 For the Project of lighting up the Blade Runner blaster, I was counting on using the CR2032 coin cell battery to light up the red LEDs. The reasoning was due to the red and green LEDs whose forward voltages were 1.8volts and 2.2volts respectively. But after some time, when the voltage nears […]
