Graham Sutherland / Polynomial<p>if you've been using yaqwsx's JLCPCB parametric search tool (or have been stuck using JLC's regular parts search page) I can highly recommend checking out this forked version: <a href="https://dougy83.github.io/jlcparts/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">dougy83.github.io/jlcparts/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>it uses a new database storage approach which makes component updates orders of magnitude faster, and it comes with some additional quality of life features too.

Kris\Slyka<p>ok, the thing is done I think but looking at it more I really don't like the way the headers are… I was considering castellated holes but the board is gonna have wire connections so that's kinda pointless aside from looking cool (and being expensive). I just kinda want something that's more than… holes for an unpopulated header?! Am I overthinking this?!</p><p><a href="https://pawb.fun/tags/WhateverDSP" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WhateverDSP</span></a> <a href="https://pawb.fun/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>electronics</span></a></p>
niconiconi<p>The original simulation and dump box were too small. Here's an enlarged version of the infamous Veritasium transmission line problem. The initial transient radiation regime is more interesting than the earlier post, it radiates into both the load and into free space like a dipole antenna. <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/openEMS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#openEMS</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/electronics" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#electronics</a></p>
niconiconi<p>Here's the full-wave FDTD simulation of the infamous Veritasium transmission line problem (simplified for practicality), excited by Gaussian and Heaviside pulses. Clearly there are three regimes of operation, the initial radiation-like regime, the later transmission line-like regime with multiple reflections due to mismatched impedance, and presumably the final (not simulated) DC regime. I'm going to use this as a tutorial demo too. <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/openEMS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#openEMS</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/electronics" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#electronics</a></p>

✨ justada :polish_cow:<p>I received an old car radio some time ago and decided to scrape components from it.
