A solar cell from a €1,50 calculator + some electronics + time + soldering iron = a passive slave trigger :)

It seems to work. Thanks to my mini-mill the front panel doesn't collide with the LCD anymore ;-)

Sound Card on the 486, a quick look & google suggests it is a "Analog Devices AD1846JP Soundport with Opti 82c924 chip"
Inspired by the @hobbycreek helping hands and Dustin Penner (@dpmakestuff) soldering station, I made up my own one with bits and pieces from online shops and things I had floating around here. It's not the prettiest of things, but it gets the job done! #solderingstation #electronics #diy
A new generation of cheap lightweight plastic electronic technology that does not require silicon, but which is optically transparent and can be coated onto everyday objects would transform our world.
"Working collaboratively with industry is not only satisfying in that I see aspects of my work translate into real engineered products, but it provides inspiration for new avenues of research too. Roadmapping then allows me to critically assess how I should be developing my research portfolio and engaging with industry to maximise the likelihood of productive collaboration."
—Dr Andrew Flewitt
Imagine electronically updated food labels, computers embedded in our armchairs, even contact lenses linking us directly to the Internet to bring us into the age of plastic electronics. In this video podcast Dr Andrew Flewitt and Dr Robert Phaal both from the Department of Engineering and Scott White serial entrepreneur and CEO of Pragmatic Printing talk about the creative partnership forged between different parts of the Department of Engineering and outside companies that enable the technology and research in this area to be exploited successfully.
Don't know if the caps are still good, but this looks like a painless way to get a lot of capacitance the easy way.
Just a simple test.

Basically, the Ekdahl Moisturizer is a spring reverb where the springs are exposed so they can be played/hit/fiddled with. As well as being capable of creating sound in itself, you can of course also play sound through the springs like a regular spring reverb - this makes for happy-fun-time finger-modulation of the reverb on whatever audio that's going through it. On top of this there's an analog multimode filter that can be used to attenuate or exaggerate certain frequencies in the sound, this is real handy while playing the springs as you can - for instance - cut all the highs and just make thunderous doomy sounds or do the opposite; cut all the lows and make that ear piercing high frequency special love. Also, it incorporates an LFO that's internally routable to the filter and that also has some external routing-stuff. The Ekdahl Moisturizer has tons of CV / Expression pedal options on the back for even more hillarious moments. The Moisturizer is a mono unit.
The Moisturizer was developed with the help of Jason Willett (Half Japanese, Leperchaun Catering), Martin Schmidt (Matmos, Instant Coffee), Joshua Atkins (Polygons, Major Powers), mom & dad and many more

1N34 crystal set works very well, no batteries required.

About to have its identity changed via a firmware swap (yes, the firmware is stored on that 64 MB CF card). A couple of my colleagues were commenting that now that I've got such a spiffy camera, I need something better than the D50 kit lens to put on it. True that a zillion MP really shows off the flaws in your optics. Something for my savings account to weigh the merits of....
Tenuous Link: microtechnology
when i got the car it had a problem with navi/radio unit. the problem was that it did not work at all.
but i am a smart guy and traced down the fault to be a blown 25Amp fuse. Further checks revealed reason for the fuse tripping - a short circuit on the power supply line.
It's an "arrow type" navigation, so no map display, but it's better than nothing. And the quality of navigation is excellent. The messages are given with proper advance and they are rarely misleading, so i'm quite happy.
This one didn't work out of the box. Eventually I figured out the previous owner had installed custom attenuation on X and Z which I have removed and reverted to standard. Then I found impedances were still off and I couldn't drive test 1V into X, Y and Z simultaneously. Turned out they had swapped X signal and signal ground versus schematic. I'm undoing that at the PCB connector level so as not to cause more confusion later.
