What are these things called? The feet on the back of, say, an oscilloscope, or Kaypro, that allow you to stand it on its back without damaging connectors, and serves double-duty as a place to wrap your power cord. Best pic I can find is this, from a...

Trying to make a SAMD21 based board, compatible with arduino and circuit python. The latter really needs a flash chip and many of the cypress (spansion) ones in existing boards are not recommended for new designs. Others, especially many winbond ones,...
If you use FreeCAD this might be a fun thing to look at. I packaged FreeCAD in to a docker container that can be run on an Ubuntu 18.04 docker environment. The application is delivered to the web browser with a user interface written in HTML5.It...

I'm thinking of making a project with retro THT ICs and LEDs on a PCB for friends and mounting it unadorned—it's meant to look geeky—in a photo frame like this. (Buttons are on the PCB, power is supplied by micro USB cable from a phone charger.)https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/promenade-frame-6-x-8-with-4-x-6-opening-brown-ur90205927However...
i have been thinking of a new project to start for a HaD 2016 prize entry. A variety of ideas have come and gone, but one keeps returning again and again...I drive a 2007/Fiat Punto Grande with a stock head unit. To give me an aux input I have connected...
Notice the bridges on the 8-pin IC in the lower right.I use a skillet for reflowing PCBs. It usually works great. Today, I got these bridges on a fine-pitched part. Is this due to too much paste? Old paste? Improper pad design?I'm...

I've posted a video that shows how to program an Arduino to “Magically” switch an LED on and off by shining a keychain light at it. The video describes how the technique works for one LED as well as for a set of 8 LEDs, each of which...
(This is my first post, I hope I don't break any rule)I'm looking for the TINIEST realistic motherboard and battery to make some kind of e-reader : drive a 8" e-ink screen (normal refresh rate); high polling rate for the digitizer (>= 180Hz); ...
I have a CB radio my dad gave me. He ran freight for 20 years, all over the country, so the radio has some sentimental value. Not enough, however, to take it to a actual shop. XD It only broadcasts a few miles, when hooked up to a 2 or 3 foot whip antenna....
I am sure that anyone with experience my have several questions as to why I have done some of the things that I have done in my board designs, and the answer to that is simply because I am making it up as I go along. Those details will hopefully work...

Someone "gave" us their old diaper wipe warmer one year, it was gross and only a matter of time before I took it apart. I found a neat foil heater in it that I might finally have a use for and was wondering if anyone knew how I should power it...
