I'm having a catch-up weekend hence why I haven't posted a project video this week. I've also added playlists on my channel to make watching and catching up much easier.
More details on my catch up blog post here: https://msmadlemon.com/updates-playlists-catch-ups/

Hey chaos.social 🥳
I am new here on Mastodon and here is my #introduction :
I invent educational DIY projects using paper, conductive tape and simple #electronics . My projects are aimed at teachers and parents who want to get creative together with kids! That's what I want to share. Also interested in #pcb and #linux . I am done with not-so-social media from BigTech and hoping to connect with actual humans here. 🤗

Popular Electronics was created in 1954 by Ziff-Davis Publishing for an audience of electronics hobbyists and experimenters. It soon became the “World’s Largest-Selling Electronics Magazine”.

Oh man. My Mum just found this in a box of keepsakes from my childhood home.

It's a flier I printed and distributed to the houses on my street, circa 2000.

For a while I ran a radio station using an overvolted Dick Smiths FM radio transmitter kit and a 6-stacker CD player. When I was on the air I'd hang a sheet over the verandah with "101.5 FM" written across it.

I had to shut down when a station started using the frequency in the next town over and drowned mine out 😭

#radio #electronics
A photo of a rectangle of paper with the following written on it:
101.5 FM Stereo
Your local ratio station
Look to the bottom of the street to see if it's on the air (the sign will be up)
Phone <redacted> for any comments.
Featuring bands like:
Things of stone and Wood \ Offsprint \ Pink Floyd \ Oasis \ Paul Kelly \ Tommy Emmanuel \ My Friend the Chocolate Cake and much more.......
Well not much more really, still more than I have written above Though
So tune in most afternoons and most weekends (the CD player is a bit dodgey) to listen to your local radio station 101.5.


16 places to responsibly dispose of old #electronics in #Philadelphia

When not properly recycled, #Ewaste can leach into the waterways — and we miss a chance to get more use out of precious materials.

Words by McKenzie Morgan
Nov 30, 2024

"For many Philadelphians, old #CellPhones, #laptops and other #electronics gather dust in drawers or boxes in the back of closets.

"When residents finally start to feel fed up with the clutter or during their annual spring cleanings, these devices are sometimes tossed into the trash or blue recycling bins. These forgotten electronics have become a part of a growing citywide e-waste problem.

"Philadelphia creates around 1.5 million tons of residential and commercial waste annually, according to government initiative SmartCityPHL. Electronics and textiles comprise about 10% of the city’s waste stream. The rest is sent to incinerators and landfills, bringing hazardous and resource-rich materials with it.

"But the good news is, there’s something residents can do about it.

"While giving up or not upgrading our devices isn’t always an option, getting them out of our curbside bins and landfills is. The Philadelphia metro region has over a dozen facilities where you can donate and properly recycle your e-waste, keeping them out of landfills and giving them new life.

Here’s a guide to places in the Philadelphia region to responsibly dispose of old electronics."

An #introduction post is probably appropriate. So: Hello from #norway !

I'm here hoping to find interesting #DIY #electronics and other nerdy projects, in addition to sharing my own stuff.

I've been fiddling with #esp32 microcontroller/WiFi modules for a while, and will probably post my share of esp32 related projects.

My primary programming languages are #php #cpp #javascript

I do #pcb design with #Kicad, simple 2D design with #qcad and 3D work in #freecad.

I write about some of my projects on my personal blog, https://espenandersen.no

My GitHub repository is found at https://github.com/espena

John Donigian, the senior director of #SupplyChain strategy at Moody’s, said the #tariffs could lead to higher #costs, potential #delays & pressure for #businesses to shift production closer to North America or into the #UnitedStates.

All industries would face unique challenges, he said. For #electronics, moving #production could be #slow & #costly. For #retail & #consumer #goods that try to keep costs low, inventories could fall & consumer #prices rise.

[so less stuff that’s more expensive]


Embroidamotion incorporates embroidary by #UmRani from #palestine (In this example — a #peace dove) with motion sensitive back light (2 #LED noodles).
Additional images (and their descriptions) explain the #electronics part of it (in case you want to make something similar).

It's the off-season for #cycling , so I did some measurements for a hub #dynamo and published them on my #blog.

No one on the 'net seems to show how voltage changes depending on load, so I measured that.

Results:
- a dynamo is not a actually well modeled as a current source
- voltage spikes will fry your #electronics , but you can prevent it
