Working corporate makes it hard to have a real portfolio, but here are some of the products I've worked on:
- DC Fuel Pump (Design)
- M130 CAN Gateway (Design)
- ZF SCAM4 (production support)

Does anyone know how to identify old signed baseballs? Grok is useless, defaulting to expensive well known signatures.

So the answer was to nudge Grok a lot - provide ball details to get the right era, and identify letters. For example, the signature on the left clearly ends in "ozema" which AI can fill in as Dave Rozema. If I also add that the other signature has two l's in the last name I get a probable identification of John Hiller

A while back I bought a tray of Xenarc 7" VGA monitors for about $1 at auction. Finally looking at them and they use this obnoxious "proprietary" VGA AV to a 20 pin connector.

The major ICs look to be a pixel works PW1306 for image processing and a Xilinx XC9536XL CPLD. There are some other parts that I haven't looked into yet. The PW1306 looks like it takes the video input, so if I can find its pinout I can probably beep out the connector.

I'll look more for the PW1306 info later, but for now enjoy some sad electrolytics that I also observed inside

If you dig through the links you'll find that CERN uses KiCAD Dbl libraries.
I feel so vindicated in my choice to do the same.

I finished this monstrosity! I'm relatively proud of the difficult soldering, but the end result was XGPro whining about "bad pin on ZIF" for nets I thought should be NC. 😢

This is hard. First row was easy, now it's hard to avoid bumping off or resoldering adjacent wires

I'm a little bummed grok couldn't get this. A simple screenshot of the flag led me to the answer through Google images - it's Dugin's Russia flag from the Hearts of Iron IV mod The Fire Rises. Hopefully grok gets better with image search soon.

I got my BGA221 adapter in today to add to my T56 arsenal. So far so good!

I made some beer for the first time in over a year. Hopefully it will be tolerable even with the mostly consumed grain.

People sleep on Osh Park too much. You can make dinky little adapter boards for ~$10 and not worry about tariffs.

Good morning! Last night I finished my LED lamp prototype for my son's BRIO trains. Some improvements to be made (battery cover, look for side emitting LEDs) but overall I'm happy with it.

Looking at @sincethestudy's bracket bot and I can't help but remember the segstick, a balancing scooter someone made nearly 15 years ago with drill motors and a broomstick

I don't think I designed a PCB until I was 18, maybe a breadboard a few years earlier.
This is fantastic to see, and made possible by KiCAD.
