Finally springish

I have this exact chip on my bench! Using it for the spindle on my mill.

Running fiber

This is hot.

Nice! Yeah I ended up with a bag of the original ctc, sio, and pio so I used those.

That is sick! I will try it

Nice, resolver to quadrature encoder signals or what?

That art goes really hard, how’d you do that?

Which z80 variant are you using with that package? I have had success with the ez80 and z81f series but they aren’t quite the same feel as a 40-pin DIP at 2mhz :-p

Ee gads! I stick with 1206 and 0805, I can’t imagine doing 0402 without a microscope

Action shot

Pretty they are not*, but milled boards sure are nice when you go from design to solder in an hour.

*this poor guy is rougher than usual cuz the double-sided tape with which I affixed him migrated over time

Transformers are transformers, regardless of frequency

Literally just discovered one needed- ye olde bodgecap:

Forgot to tent the vias!

GVA-123+ 8ghz 16db amps

Name that trig function

Oh you like waves? Name every wave.

Dude sign me up

Note the fancy edge-launch SMA footprints that also match a surface mount u.FL female

Def the smallest transformers I’ve used yet (275MS/s 14-bit DACs into 4CT:1 50 ohm 0.5-300mhz xfrmrs for I/Q gen)

Oops. It makes quite a sound when you break a 3/4 cutter off in a part at rapid

First part came out remarkably shiny ✨ ✨ ✨

(Half of a) WR42 e-plane horn, 18-26.5 GHz

Noticed I was perhaps overly caffeinated during this zoom interview when I used the phrase “went hog-mode with the decorators”

Wave go brrrr

I can’t summon more than 100mhz sines outa the thing, those trace lengths oughta be short enough to not resonate

I should be shot for this layout but it passes erc+drc 🤷‍♂️

Guess the device

Comments field goes incredibly hard (barker sequences of n>13)

Among the complexity curse that is destroying software in recent years, surely "cmake" has a nice spot in this whole mess.

Maximally postmodern
