My useless banana-plug adapters are becoming a lot less useless. The USB-C variant is my 2nd favorite.
ALT Bench power supply with an adapter plugged into it. The adapter is mostly orange. It has a USB-C connector with a cable attached. A cute green LED is on.

Thursday, 4/4 Stream: Back to the TRS-80 MC-10 Grind. Let's *finish this* schematic! Come ask KiCad questions. Stump me and earn 100 internet points. youtube.com/live/Ig94JM3rbs4
Right after the video published, I realized I took the wrong thumbnail picture. So uh, here it is... (I figured more people would recognize the Apple IIe than the Mega IIe Rev 2.)
Here's an example of using a "measurement track" to find a repetitive glitch (or jitter) in a clock signal. Okay, sure, it's a 40-year-old design, but it's still there AND measurable! youtube.com/watch?v=ZWf8t_mH…
Thur 2/1: Redrawing the TRS-80 MC-10 Schematic in KiCad 8 RC2! We repaired one of these on-stream a couple of years ago. Now it is time to add its schematic to the Bit Preserve archive. youtube.com/live/11hBRgYjpRU
Thur 12/14: Is this the live stream we finish the Apple II schematic in KiCad? There is only one way to find out. (Hint: It's following this link...) youtube.com/live/vYXDW7x8n9k
The Mega IIe’s final chapter is here! This computer is built around the Mega-II chip from the IIGS. And it’s about the size of a 5.25-in floppy drive.
I know it’s a long one, but I think it is worth it.
