Also given the piece of wood a good sand down and a quick coat of varnish. Still have rest of electronics to solder and fit.

On Friday April 18, seven of us drove 100 miles east of Portland to the mouth of the Deschutes River (at the Columbia) to camp overnight and ride the 22 mile out-and-back Deschutes Rail-Trail on Saturday. This is the start of the "dry side" of Oregon, so the landscape was appropriately arid and Western-y. It was a fun ride. The trail is a bit rough, but rideable, and we managed to avoid the goathead thorns that are notorious on the southern end of the trail. The weather was mostly good with the exception of a passing shower.
One step in testing the IN-16 seconds display. It's not being driven by a microcontroller, it's just wired to a breadboard and I change the inputs by hand.
Here, the right tube's anode is powered and the four input lines to the K155ИД1 driver chip are set to ground, +5V, ground, and +5V. That corresponds to binary 0101, or decimal 5. Ha!
Not shown: all the other digits work too, on both tubes (except that the left tube will only ever show 0 to 5, since seconds go from 00 to 59, so I never wired up the 6, 7, 8, and 9 on it).
These are two illustrations I did for the Halloween issue of Kentucky Living magazine. Based on the concept that many electronic devices act as "vampires" - constantly sucking energy and running up your energy bill, even when they're powered off.
The editor described them as "disgustingly cute" - I took that as a copmliment!

Power connector soldered to the USB port (I ended up taking the plastic casing off the power connector, as you'll see). I'm going to install a switch for the YBox2's power next, so that I can turn it off when using another video source.
PLEASE NOTE: Seriously... you need a good soldering iron for this and a fine tip. If you're unsure, maybe consider just using two power bricks or stripping a mini-USB plug and using that to get power to the YBox2. I chose the scarier route. Hey, it's halloween. *shrug*
That USB connector is TINY. I pulled off the back part of its shield for better access and soldered ground to the shield. FYI, it's the right-most pin (relative to this photo - the pin closest to the RCA connectors) that carries the +5v.
DISCLAIMER: This WILL void your warranty, you CAN screw this up and I WON'T be responsible if you do. You've been warned. Proceed at your own risk.

This is a condemned row of shops in Doha's old town. Doha is being torn down almost as quickly as it is being built!

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.
