In my home lab, I only have a single desk that I share between office and electronics work. Because I was annoyed by the poor ergonomics of my stereo microscope when putting it away after working on it, I put a 3d printed handle on it. So far, it’s working great.

I’ll put the design files on printables this weekend in case anyone shares the same annoyance with this particular type of cheap microscope.

My first self-designed PCBs arrived today from @aislerhq
They look great, and I immediately spotted an error in my #KiCad settings: the copper fill doesn't have any clearance at the edge.
Will fix this for my next ones.
These are a minified version of my mixer and are already obsolete. I will still solder one, regardless.

Attiny85 game console hardware troubleshooting - Unbelievably, it does work. Macro photo for your entertainment and to document the ridiculous troubleshooting journey I took.

I have an #Electronics question: when you rotate an SMD resistor in the plane of the PCB, how does its value change?

Does it jump at 90°, or is it linear with the angle? Or sine-like?
