Collaborate Disseminate
Machine learning is supposed to help us do everything these days, so why not electron microscopy? A team from Ireland has done just that and published their results using machine …read more Continue reading Machine Learning Helps Electron Microscopy
We often write quick bash scripts and judging by the comments, half of us use bash or a similar shell to pop out quick, useful scripts, and half of us …read more Continue reading Linux Fu: Gum Up Your Script
If you wanted to create a VGA card, you might think about using an FPGA. But there are simpler ways to generate patterns, including an old-fashioned EPROM, as [DrMattRegan] points …read more Continue reading EPROM Does VGA
When we first started 3D printing, we used ABS and early slicers. Using supports was undesirable because the support structures were not good, and ABS sticks to itself like crazy. …read more Continue reading A Comprehensive Look at FDM Supports
You know how it is. You have an older computer, and you can’t run the latest software on it. Time to upgrade, right? Well, if you have been in this …read more Continue reading The 4004 Upgrade You’ve Been Waiting For
If you’ve worked with circuit simulation, you may have run into IBIS models. The acronym is input/output buffer information, and while you can do a lot without having to deal …read more Continue reading IBIS Models Explained
[Machining and Microwaves] got an interesting request. The BBC asked him to duplicate the Great Seal Bug — the device the Russians used to listen covertly to the US ambassador …read more Continue reading Recreating one of History’s Best Known Spy Gadgets
Have you ever thought how amazing it is that every bit of DRAM in your computer requires a teeny tiny capacitor? A 16 GB DRAM has 128 billion little capacitors, …read more Continue reading Inside Digital Image Chips
When you think of tiny microcontroller boards, you probably think of a modern surface mount processor. Not [Andreas Jakob]. His 5×5 cm keychain computer rocks a 6809 CPU at a …read more Continue reading The Keychain 6809
Oscilloscopes are great for measuring the time and voltage information of a signal. Some old scopes don’t have much in the way of markings on the CRT, although eventually, we …read more Continue reading Vintage Tektronix Virtual Graticule
