I found some free energy storage! They are definitely a bit down on capacity but I will not let that stop me!
Time to build out a solar system!

I have an upgraded electronic load - and therefore I have to torture my PCBs!

In this episode I interview the third most famous Billie behind Eilish and Jean; Billie Ruben! She is a rapidly growing star in the 3d printing world with her online persona on Reddit, Twitter and now YouTube! We chat about 3d printing technologies, which printers are recommended for beginners and common printing problems, as well as sharks, geography, and women in making. Her work can be seen on the first page of google as well as all over the 3d printing communities, with an upward trajectory steep enough to give Elon concerns!

Thank you to PCBWay for sponsoring this video! You can get this PCB here:
https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/W173989ASH41_Uno_Shield_bf27d3c5.html
I made a quick and easy (and beginner-practice friendly) shield for Arduino UNO and Mega compatible boards so you can drive heavier loads directly from the shield. I wouldn't push it TOO hard but you should be able to pull about 500mA per pin. A future, higher current shield is planned!

In this video I solder on some input and output terminals and get the switches put in place for switching the inputs to the buck converters.
The plan is to have 3v, 5v, 9, and 12v fixed outputs that can be used simultaneously, have multiple connection methods, and be portable and compact.
This took me a lot more time to film and make than I thought so I had to break it out into multiple parts.

In this video I take a look at a failed LED bulb and end up going a bit deeper than I thought. I end up keeping some parts for the parts bin as well!

In this week's episode, I have a chat with Adafruit's lead on Circuit Python and self-admitted hardware start-up abandoner Scott Shawcroft! Scott and I chat about Adafruit's quest to simplify and streamline the Circuit Python experience, especially for newcomers, his time working on the Google maps team, and why starting a hardware based company is much harder than it seems! Make sure to check him out on his GitHub and have a look at some Adafruit stuff and see if any of it meets your needs!

Should you make it? Should you fake it? You should do both according to this week's guest - Clarissa, who runs the YouTube channel Make It And Fake It! Clarissa and I delve into deep topics such as 3d printing (and share whether we're into them as machines or as the product that they produce), Arduino-ey type projects and all sorts of making, extending to sewing and makeup! You should definitely go over to Clarissa's youtube channel and hit subscribe if you're into great making content delivered with some great humor!
