EEVblog #1122 - Raspberry Pi 3 PoE Hat FAIL Investigation
The new official Power Over Ethernet (PoE) hat for the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ has been reported to fail with an overcurrent error when powering USB devices. Dave investigates and narrows it down until, well, something goes horribly wrong...
Dave shows you a handy tip on how to see *through* a product using a Flir thermal imaging camera with the cover *on*. Thus being able to maintain the correct airflow, whilst at the same time being able to view the thermal map as if the cover was off!

Following in from the DC circuit fundamanetals series starts the AC circuti fundamentals series. This part 1 looks at:
- What is Alternating Current
- How AC is created using a generator
- Angular Frequency
- The sinusoidal waveform, benefits and downsides
- Average, peak, peak to peak, and RMS waveforms, calculation and conversions.
- Non-sinusoidal waveforms
- Crest factor and its impact on multimeter RMS measurement

Doug Ford, former head designer at Rode Microphones explains 48V phantom powering of microphones and how it works.
There is a ton of stuff here:
Electrostatic and electromagnetic noise, differential amplifiers, common mode noise, transformer magnetisation current, JFET differential driver circuits, balanced impedances, phase splitters, miller capacitance and how it matters, and he explains how the Schoeps amplifier topology works.

Les Thomaidis shows and explains the calibration rack at the Agilent Melbourne Standards Lab that is used to "calibrate the calibrators". This is where other calibration labs send their multimeter and oscilloscope calibrators to get calibrated.

Dave plays around with converting a toaster oven into a surface mount SMD reflow oven with a beginner kit and controller from Beta Layout.
Includes basic calibration and thermal profiling of the oven.
Also a look at an example PCB from PCB-Pool, and reflow of an example board with lead-free solder paste.
And using an Agilent bluetooth multimeter to remote log the temperature.
