Macrofab Engineering Podcast

Podcast Notes Parker is still working on the Super Simple Power Supply. He is designing the front panel. He is considering using some WP1043 Kingbright LEDs. Super Simple Power Supply will have two decimal places for the LED segmented displays. 10mV and 10mA display resolution. Keypad for punching in numbers directly and encoder for scrolling. The Rigol DP832 is the powersupply Parker and Stephen currently use. Has the funky keypad. ESP8266 is a low cost wifi module that has been in the maker space for the last couple years. IoT BBQ? Stephen thinks its getting silly. Parker thinks IoT is just going to advertisement saturation. Stephen did a guest lecture for the Iron Yard. It is a coding school. He gave a hardware based lecture. Covered the toolsets needed to design hardware like EDA Tools. Stephen pimped the MacroWatch. Josh the sound guy trumps Parker and Stephen in figuring out where .ino file extension comes from. Parker wrote a blog post about programming for production. Heathkit launches a new website
