EEVblog #654 - Sydney Maker Faire 2014 Behind The Scenes
Re-uploaded in 50fps to remove the motion blurring in the last upload that was 25fps. Behind the scenes at the 2014 Sydney Mini Maker Faire at the Powerhouse Museum.
Dave recently implemented an Actel Ignoo Nano and Xilinx Spartan 3 FPGA into a design, so decided to share some rather random notes on how to implement the FPGA's in this scenario.
From datasheet specs, traps for young players, global clocks, FPGA fabrics, core power supplies and decoupling, getting the schematic basics, JTAG and flash PROM interfaces and finally PCB fanout and routing of a tiny 0.4mm pitch BGA package.

Dave demonstrates why gold plated multimeter probes matter, and why you should be using them for all your electronics measurements.
NOTE: Many people didn't understand the point of this video. It's about oxidisation of contacts, gold basically doesn't do this, other probes can.
Also gold probes are not necessarily recommended for regular high current, high power electrical use, that's what I mean by an "electronics use", as opposed to "electrical" use which is why Fluke for example don't offer gold plated leads.
And as always, YMMV.
Fluke offer fine top "electronics" gold probes: http://amzn.to/2fCuoSN
