  • Scott Vail wrote in earlier in the week. Gives the podcast two thumbs up.
  • Stephen talks about how he got started in Audio Amplifiers and how it led to him becoming an electrical engineer.
    • Built his first Tube Amplifier 12 years ago and it still works. See Figure 1.
    • Dilbert - The Knack
  • Parker
    • The greatest resistor in the world doesn't fit inside the My200 Pick and Place. Will be remade with 0201 10K resistors.
    • The Jeep Radio Hack made it to Hack A Day. Check it out!
  • RFO
    • Down and Dirty with Contact Cleaners - on Hack a Day
    • TI HDC1080 temperature/humidity sensor
      • Steve Kuehn wrote in to let us know about this neat chip.
      • Relative Humidity Accuracy ±2%
      • Temperature Accuracy ±0.2°C
      • What sets this device apart from other humidity/temperature sensors is there is no analog readings involved. The output of the device is an I2C interface.
    • Is owning a 3D printer worth it?
      • Parker: If you know CAD, Yes. You treat it like another tool in your toolbox.
      • Stephen: Making just silly plastic toys is not worth the expensive of a 3D printer.
