Inspired by a Youtube video from Bigclive I ordered some Solar Power Rechargeable Flash lights. I knew the risk but I thought it would be a possible way to get hold of some small amorphous silicon solar cell modules for some own projects. Today I received my package from ebay seller heavends. And yes, these… Continue reading Fakes from China

And for that I have been using some different types of programmers by now: starting with the good old STK500, to different versions of USBasp clones from Chinese sellers on eBay. In order to connect the programmers to the breadboard… Continue reading An USBasp in a new design II
An USBasp in a new design
Just a small teaser: today I received my circuit boards from PCBgogo – a layout which I just had sent to the Chinese manufacturer last Sunday. It is a USBasp, which can be placed on a breadboard and at the same time supplies the power rails on the sides. More to come…
Nerd or not?
Today there was a geocaching event celebrating Nerd Day. I must admit that I wasn’t aware of the significance of today’s date, but I also knew that I can probably be considered being a nerd. In the early days of the internet, while still writing my master’s thesis in Kiel, I already scored high on… Continue reading Nerd or not?
