Accessorize and organize your workstation with these brackets. From sifugreg on Thingiverse:
One of the annoyances of pegboard is always having that space at the seams you can’t use because the shim lumber is behind. I wanted to use that space so I created these simple wall mount brackets for hanging standard 4″ parts bins.

We redesigned many of our CP2104 boards for the almost-but-not-quite-pin-compatible CP2012N … only to find that now that part is affected by the shortage / price increases that have been hammering everyone. We did find some great ‘drop-in’ compatible USB-to-serial adapters from @WCH_TECH called CH9102F, and we’re using them in a few ESP32 boards for now. So far they’re a fair replacement. Since we expect we won’t be able to stock or standard CP2102 or CP2104 ‘UART friend’ we just swapped out the silk to make a CH9102F so folks can verify functionality without hot airing parts like we did. While we were on the WCH site to grab drivers we noticed they had a QUAD UART chip! – it even can come with USB HS for piping lots of data. This could be kinda handy, we have gotten requests for dual/quad uart adapters before. A google image search pops up a few folks who have used this chip to make quad-RS232 driver boards, so it seems promising!

Here’s something I never thought of before — using Silly Putty, cooking oil, and hot glue to duplicate miniatures. The results are decent. I would definitely think about using this method for casting parts for terrain and miniature bases.

Washington State University researchers have developed an algorithm that finds birds and deploys drones to drive the birds away:
Technologically, the system resembles drone package delivery systems. It will be several years before this particular technology would be commercially available for growers because there are still several hurdles, including making sure it works at scale, complies with federal drone regulations, and continues to deter birds even if drones are commonly flying around.

GPIO Male Hammer Header Kit – Solderless Raspberry Pi Connector – Male Header + Installation Jig
If your soldering isn’t quite up to scratch, or you just don’t own a soldering iron yet, then these nifty hammer headers from Pimoroni might be just what you need.
This version includes one piece of male header along with some crafty little retaining nubbins to grip tightly into the holes on the PCB. If you need both male and female headers, check out this version!
Absolutely no soldering required! All that’s needed is a few gentle taps with a hammer and bazinga! Your header is securely attached to your Pi Zero.
TLV62569 3.3V Buck Converter Breakout – 3.3V Output 1.2A Max
This little buck converter based on the TLV62569 3.3V is super handy, taking up to 5.5V input and providing a 3.3V output with up to 1.2A continuous current. It’s great for supplying power to popular 3.3V voltage circuits from a range of battery or power options. This chip provides up to 1.2 Amp load current continuously across the entire input voltage range of 3.4 to 5.5V. It’s not a huge range but does cover LiPoly batteries, 3 alkalines, and USB power.
Great for your portable project, we made this “pin compatible” with the LM1117-3.3V TO-220 chip so you can swap it in for better performance (90-95% efficiency!) There’s also an ENable pin, tie it low to shut down the output completely.
The Icarus is a cost-effective cellular IoT board built around Nordic Semi’s nRF9160 modem and combines LTE-M, NB-IoT, GPS, accelerometer, USB, LiPo charger, as well as an eSIM with free data out of the box and a nano SIM connector. Control, monitor, and keep track of any asset, fleet or cargo, quickly and easily with this pre-certified device!
Retractable Stacking Banana Plug Cable – Red 0.5 meter long
Why are bananas never lonely? Because they hang around in bunches!
A lot of power supplies, multimeters, and other benchtop equipment use standard 4mm banana plugs to connect this-to-that. When you need more, we now stock them! These are handy stackable and retractable Banana Plug cables! The retracting plastic protection bit on the end will automagically disappear when plugged into a device, but will prevent accidental shorting to boards or other cables when draped along your desk.
Retractable Stacking Banana Plug Cable – Black 0.5 meter long

The retracting plastic protection bit on the end will automagically disappear when plugged into a device, but will prevent accidental shorting to boards or other cables when draped along your desk.
This is the half-meter-long black version.
ADS1015 12-Bit ADC – 4 Channel with Programmable Gain Amplifier – STEMMA QT / Qwiic
For microcontrollers without an analog-to-digital converter or when you want a higher-precision ADC, the ADS1015 provides 12-bit precision at 3300 samples/second over I2C. The chip can be configured as 4 single-ended input channels or two differential channels. As a nice bonus, it even includes a programmable gain amplifier, up to x16, to help boost up smaller single/differential signals to the full range. We like this ADC because it can run from 2V to 5V power/logic, can measure a large range of signals and it’s super easy to use. It is a great general purpose 12 bit converter.
The chip’s fairly small so it comes on a breakout board with ferrites to keep the AVDD and AGND quiet. Interfacing is done via I2C. The address can be changed to one of four options (see the datasheet table 5) so you can have up to 4 ADS1015’s connected on a single 2-wire I2C bus for 16 single ended inputs.
Comes with a bit of 0.1″ standard header in case you want to use it with a breadboard or perfboard. Four mounting holes for easy attachment.
ADS1115 16-Bit ADC – 4 Channel with Programmable Gain Amplifier – STEMMA QT / Qwiic
For microcontrollers without an analog-to-digital converter or when you want a higher-precision ADC, the ADS1115 provides 16-bit precision at 860 samples/second over I2C. The chip can be configured as 4 single-ended input channels, or two differential channels. As a nice bonus, it even includes a programmable gain amplifier, up to x16, to help boost up smaller single/differential signals to the full range.

Elisa Leonida Zamfirescu was a pioneering Romanian engineer who was one of the first women to obtain a degree in engineering. Via World record academy
Elisa Leonida Zamfirescu (November 10, 1887 – November 25, 1973),was the world’s first female chemical engineer ;aftershe graduated the Royal Academy of Technology Berlin, Charlottenburg, sheworked as an assistant at the Geological Institute of Romania andalso taught physics and chemistry, beingthe first woman member of A.G.I.R. (General Association of Romanian Engineers), thus setting the world record for being the World’s First Female Chemical Engineer , according to the Academy Of World Records.
Elisa Leonida Zamfirescu was born in Galați, Romania on November 10, 1887. Her father, Atanase Leonida, was a career officer while her mother, Matilda Gill, was the daughter of a French-born engineer. Her brother was the engineer Dimitrie Leonida.
Due to prejudices against women in the sciences, Zamfirescu was rejected by the School of Bridges and Roads in Bucharest.In 1909 she was accepted at the Royal Academy of Technology Berlin, Charlottenburg.She managed to cope with all impediments and drawbacks and in 1912 she obtained her engineering degree – the first woman to do so.
She graduated in 1912, with a degree in engineering.

I created a joystick for switching the inputs of an ATEM Mini while operating a handheld camera.
Inside the housing is an Wemos D1 Mini and a joystick module (https://www.ebay.de/itm/174943438920). You need 4* M3 sinkhead screws for assembly.
The header of the joystick module must be removed and instead cables are soldered directly to the ESP.
The joystick is connected to the 3.3V pin of the board. Since the ESP only has one analogue input, I soldered the other output of the joystick to a digital input. The switch output of the module is connected to a second digital input. This means that 4 actions can be triggered with the joystick: Left, right, front and a button press.
I have programmed the ESP in such a way that it changes the camera in the preview when moving to the left or right, performs a cut when moving to the front and an auto-transition when pressing the button down.

Wonderful piece by Dennis Zhou highlighting the fascinating life and work of cinematographer James Wong How in the recent edition of The New York Review of Books. His versatility and many innovations (pioneering deep focus and double-exposure techniques – to name a couple) place Wong How at the intersection of artist and engineer.
The fact that a Chinese cameraman—Wong Howe was only naturalized in his forties, after the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1943—had such a large hand in shaping the fantasies of the American public was surely lost on audiences who did not look for the cinematographer’s credit. Part of this omission can be attributed to a lack of understanding about the role of the cameraman, who exerted a control equal and often superior to that of the director in defining the look of Golden Age films. Yet another factor was Wong Howe’s versatility. Unlike other cinematographers of the era, such as John Alton, Wong Howe was never associated with one genre, as adept at noir and westerns as at musicals and comedies. He adapted his style to suit the needs of different directors and scripts, to the point where an undiscerning viewer might deem it more assimilative than personal.

Now that Juneteenth is officially a federal holiday in the United States, it’s the perfect time to observe Juneteenth as a family. Juneteenth celebrates the freedom of the last group of enslaved people in the United States. It was announced to the people in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865 – more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
On “Sesame Street,” Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, kindness and love. In this spirit, my family enjoys making crafts, attending local celebrations, and supporting small Black-owned businesses to honor this celebration of liberation.
Looking for ways to honor this holiday with your children? Here are five ways to celebrate Juneteenth together as a family.
