MEP EP#282: When Print(); Just Works

MEP EP#282: When Print(); Just Works

• SMT Connector Considerations
  
  
  
  • Switching from Though Hole connectors to Surface Mount connectors
  
  
  • Price difference
  
  
  • How many insertions?
  
  
  • Via Stitching pads
  
  
  
  


• Plastic actuator update
  
  
  
  • 420,000 presses and going strong
  
  
  • 300 PPM
  
  
  • Damn arduino Serial.println()
  
  
  
  


• Do Not Use Print For Debugging In Python Anymore
  
  
  
  • Automatic verbose print statements for python!
  
  
  • Easy disable
  
  
  
  


• Bipolar load switch with multiple enables
  
  
  
  • Would rather not do this in discrete but probably going to have to
  
  
  • +/-12V in with a time delay
  
  
  • on switching in the load
  
  
  • Second time delay that enables regulators after
  
  
  • Preferably one control signal (capacitors charging)
  
  
  • Considering SSR solution
  
  
  
  


• Tasty Chips segment
  
  
  
  • Keystone 9081
    
    
    • Plastic standoffs that have double sided sticky foam
    
    
    
    
  
  
  • Keystone 7693
    
    
    • Screw Terminal PTH 6-32 Thread
    
    
    
    
  
  
  
  


• Banana Jack Install Tool?
  
  
  
  • No one makes a socket driven one? ¼” drive?
  
  
  
  


• Question for the future.
  
  
  
  • What would it take to design your own Multimeter?
