Those connectors have three pins, are they some kind of balanced rca? I understand that they allow you to connect as traditional rca or connect just one and have both channels.

That's kind of my story right now. I'm having a lot of unfinished projects and it's weighing on me.

With this version I started to play with linux. And it's been a few years now.

Driver’s Ed for Linux Frustrated by a lack of support for Linux, crescentrose wrote a custom device driver for a USB dock with flashy RGB LEDs.

I am going to make another collaboration to develop another electronic artwork. I should upload this and other works I've done at some point.

It's time to design another test PCB!

Considering buying the Power Profiler Kit 2, are there other options that are worthwhile?

A 286 computer with windows 3.1 that my aunt and uncle had.
At home I think I remember that the first one was already with windows 95.

I'm getting very strange programming behaviour. It seems that the MCC is putting some kind of rubbish in my code that makes it stop working. It's a very simple project, I'm considering writing all the code without the MCC API.

It arrived!

Product two test board.
If I hadn't sent it to production in a hurry and stopped to think for a second, I could have traced tracks that could have saved me so much wire.
After a lot of effort it all seems to be working.

Product one assembled and working, finalising charging.
I can't wait to do some programming!
Thanks @aisler.net

The odyssey with the battery connector, and above all, everything I'm discovering, is enough for a blog post.

I have a theory that they don't use genuine JST connectors, but compatible ones with a little more tolerance, and with the pin 1 marking on the opposite side.

I also don't have the polarity right. It's something that, although it makes me angry, doesn't worry me too much. Although I don't understand if the polarity information was supposed to be official.

I have bought batteries for the projects I am working on. And it has turned out that the lipo with PH connector does not mate with my PH receptacle. Has it happened to anyone that the connector does not fit or fits too tightly? I don't mean that you have to press it gently, but more with a hammer.

Intense day of work on the test board. Repaired some blocks and some working tests. Looks good!

I seem to have found the hard TagConnect TC2030-IDC-NL in Europe.

I'm happy with today's work, I soldered a little more than half of the board, and I was able to test that half of the board seems to work fine (the test point had the correct voltage).
It's a pity that the hot air station broke, I would have liked to have been able to assemble it all today.

Well, I'm done assembling any project for now.
My hot air soldering station just died, leaving me stranded in the middle of the assembly.
Recommendations for a new one? And maybe a hot plate for soldering 0402, DFN, XSON and other miniatures?

I have a microscope but not a standing one, so I just take off my glasses (I am very short-sighted) and everything becomes bigger.
That's what I have for now.

As if it wasn't difficult enough to solder 0402s by hand, there is the factor that when the component is taken off the reel, it is very easy for them to jump to infinity and never appear again.
When working with such small components it is necessary to always ask for extra.

Right now I have two 0402 PCB to be soldered by hand. I'm going to need some luck!

Yes, it was very tight but everything went in. The silkscreen will be difficult to read, there wasn't much room. Routed in four layers. 50x20mm, most of the components are 0402.
When I finish assembling and testing the other projects that have arrived, I will send this one to production.
