Great video really good explanation 👍

Difficult start for the day mate. I remember all to well the episode just after Chris passed. That was hard to watch, this equally hard. Just wish to give you a bit of support Jon.

So much screaming at the screen.... I have one of these too :)

TENMA 72-13200 (was AU$210.50 delivered) aka KORAD KEL102.

Precious informations my friend! How can I install more than one sensor wired in series with all those sensing properties? Thank you!

Excellent video! However, I'd like to know what happened to the presenter's shirt between 2:45 and 2:58... one moment the presenter's shirt looks brand new, then suddenly it looks old as if it's been worn for about 20 years... 😅

Thanks for all you do Jon.

You should rename the stream, you don't do any home automation anymore.

That is by far the best video I have seen on Node Red! Most “How to” videos are so quick that it is really hard to follow, yours is perfectly paced and beautifully explained. I now feel confident in setting up InfluxdDB and Grafana. Thank you so much

Very interesting. I would suggest changing the schematic so that the LEDs become feedback (use one of the conductors in the Cat5 to connect to an Arduino output pin) so that a lit LED indicates the switch is on, an unlit indicates switch is off, blinking indicates a timer (e.g. extraction fan), a momentary blink every 30 seconds for a night time locator etc. I liked the way you showed the evolution of the design, just wondering six years later where you have ended up with this design.

Why does Australia feel the need to regulate this type of thing? In USA and Canada and the rest of the world we do all this stuff and everything is fine and dandy. We don't have major telecommunications issues country wide or a pandemic of fires from people doing their own electrical work. I don't get it

Watching the steam I missed, always love Joh's so my comments are after the fact; No timeline as you have to watch the stream yourself before judging me! - Looking clean as today mate! - Glad we don't have daylight saving time in QLD, the cows will never know when to be milked! I was up drinking all night and missed the stream :( - Upon PCB colour printing; I'm so hopeful of getting in with a local company here that embedded it into glass with cnc machines as an industrial electrician. - Knowing your voice I can totally watch this in 2x speed :P for what I missed! - Lighting would always be an issue in the tight space you've setup the PnP hacked beast! You'd want it functional and not full on! - Good products don't come cheap; People go to uni for this EE knowledge and we can get it for free here! You do put the fun into embedded electronic designs. Love, Trev!

Have you thought of connecting the USB cable between the Raspberry Pi and the DUT, via the "Test-O-Mator" PCB? So you can feed and turn on and off the USB cable's 5V to the DUT. I think the "Unexpected Maker" concluded that the Raspberry Pi 5 has a better USB chip than previous versions, which doesn't cause as much trouble in a test jig that plugs in and out a lot of DUTs that use USB.

Australia, worst place in the world for... anything that isn't digging stuff out of the ground.

What a disgraceful and lazy rip off, was on my way to Jaycar this morning, hence finding this by a search on items to collect, sorry Jaycar, off to Amazon now and will save fuel money.

Just watching your Livestream and suggest that qrcodes might be good from the point of view that 1 you can use a camera to read both the jig board and DUT. Confirm that correct board and test program are selected for the DUT. Plus the customer can potentially also read the test records online as well as you being able to see where your boards are... Is there a regular grid underlying the PCB layout and could you use something like a cheap per board or breadboard to mount the pogo pins.

Was really wasted from a big night out (apologies for missing the live stream); Love the coding side of things with the physical QA. Do you need some PCB bitch? Because this looks like a really fun job and I've got nothing else to do!

This video perfectly shows the difference between a UKpostsr and an engineer on UKposts.

Writing code for this is many times more work than making the board. Maybe it's time to investigate using AI to write the micro python code. Since you are going to need to make a precise code map to even write the code, using an AI to do the grunt work might be a real time saver. It might, at least, provide you with a framework program to start with and you can write the bells and whistles.

Possibly consider analog muxes as a means to map functionality like vsense across to any pin...

@53:00 I'd be using the mac address of the pico.

thanks,

I'm enjoying this KiCAD series. Thanks Jon and Mitch.

Not sure if your still monitoring this particular video but this is what I wanted to hear. Its a matter of proper equipment and computer monitor placement. I'm trying to place my monitor(s) and bench equipment so as to do development and troubleshoot/build circuits without moving all over my bench to do it. My area of interest is at the interface beteen hardware and software i.e robotics, IoT, etc. I really appreciate this video and your thoughts around this topic. Thanks!

ANNKE STOPPED WORKING AFTER 12MHTS IT IS A PIECE OF JUNK...

Mitch is an excellent teacher, well done both of you

Great video 👍 But where is the follow up video...can't find it and this video is 2 years old. Well I think this will send me to local tuya 😊

Wow, Jon using Kicad! I feel like there's a bet somewhere that I need to pay out on. 😆 Well done, Mitch.

Tks

I have bought the kicad course from Pieter Dalmaris on Udemy (when it was discounted to £9.99). It is rather long but it is a really good overview of the kicad funtionality, I would recommend it. I now use kicad without issues. I have no affiliations with Pieter or Udemy, just a customer of theirs.

Hi Jon, Interesting info as always, but there may be a concept flaw slipping into your clean room installation. The basic principle is that it should be kept in overpressure compared to the surrounding rooms and balanced ventilation is even aimed insufficient. If you place 3 large flow fans outside the clean room you will create negative pressure in the clean room which is undesirable and draws dust in. A differential manometer could illustrate the problem or perhaps the coffee smell from the adjacent factory. Of course, noise pollution is also a real problem and unlike some subtle pressure differences, it will be noticed immediately. Dust accumulation will not be noticed initially either. Greetings

Thanks! Another great stream. 👍

I used the Bunnings Kaboodle DIY kitchen stuff. Also you got the extractors! Nice.

WOW That's cool, but I can't tell what it's doing... Are you telling them to both goto the same width, or is the second one detecting where the first one is and matching it? That is what I would have tried to do..

Very nice!

Very cool :)

Very nice!

Now your just showing off, but in a good way, very fancy

Woow thats cool👍

Using acupuncture needles as probes is fruitful idea. It's thin, sharp, resilient and long.

Hi all

Haven't seen this one!! What a classic!

The biggest issue with a lot of the cheaper/good value Chinese NVRs are that their software is awful. The synology nvr app and mobile app are decent but the camera licences are a little pricey. As long as the camera does RTSP/ONVIF it’s almost certainly compatible with the synology.

Is it possible to have measurements in two decimal points instead of only start from 1? For example 0.01 micro gram/m3

Nice intro

Awesome

Yes, I realise that my conveyor is much slower to adjust than the Kayo, but I don't care because this only happens once when the job is being set up initially.
