I came across this at a local Muscat supermarket for about Euro 2.
A simple motor kit with switch and light. All the components are the same as when I started playing with electronics as a child back in the 1960s.
Brings back memories I'd long forgotten about. Might remind a few others too.
Will I use the kit? No, I'll repack it and keep it safe. The memories are worth far more than the 900bz it cost me.
#Electrical question: I disconnected the negative wire for our 12V bilge pump, but if I measure voltage from the positive line to the now-dangling negative line, I see between 0.5 and 1.1V. Does this mean there's a short, or is it expected somehow? #boatyard #theBoatyard
I've been told it's good practice to "sprinkle decoupling capacitors" around my circuit board. Is there any good source for bits of embedded wisdom like this? I have a lot of catching up to do, and it's hard enough to learn all the essentials nevermind the little things that people pick up as they go.

Does anyone have any tips for non-destructively dismantling old incandescent lamps (E27 base) with the intent to modify/reassemble them?
The process is presumably "desolder the pip on the base, then loosen the cement/epoxy/whatever that attaches the base to the glass envelope and separate"
But does anyone have any details of how to do that last bit?
I'll tag some communities that might know, feel free to add more?
Russian #drones attacked #Ukraine's city of #Sumy early this morning, hitting the #electrical grid, water and other civilian #infrastructure. Rescuers workers are currently on the ground.

On Embedded episode 500, Chris( @stoneymonster ) and Elecia( @logicalelegance ) spoke with Komathi Sundaram about setting up CI servers and hardware-in-the-loop tests among others.
Join them: https://embedded.fm/episodes/500
Here's Komathi's parting words:
dear #bluesky
how about that: you get off the interwebs right now and WAIT for the systems analysis of the spanish operator and have a nice day?
bc they actually know what's what. while you don't. there is a whole thing called #electrical #engineering, in case you didn't know. your opinion is not needed to solve this mystery.
and btw. the word #complexity has a meaning. you might want to look it up some day.
This week, Chris( @stoneymonster ) and Elecia( @logicalelegance ) were joined by Komathi Sundaram about setting up CI servers and hardware-in-the-loop tests among others.

Here's an excerpt about timely bug finds:
#Military #communications in Moscow Oblast sabotaged amid Russia’s Victory Day celebrations, partisans say
Agent of #Atesh movement successfully carried out #sabotage in #Mogiltsy, destroying equipment at a transformer substation that provided the region’s #electrical & #telecommunications infrastructure
We had an awesome chat( https://embedded.fm/episodes/500 ) with Komathi Sundaram about her passion for testing and automation!
We dove into the unique joys of testing vs. development, setting up CI servers, and all kinds of tests.

Did ‘induced atmospheric vibration’ cause blackouts in #Europe? An #electrical engineer explains the phenomenon
#Portugal’s grid operator #REN was quoted as blaming the event on a rare phenomenon known as “induced #atmospheric #vibration”. REN has since reportedly refuted this.
But what is this vibration? And how can #energy systems be improved to mitigate the risk of widespread blackouts?
On episode 499: This Is Your Problem( https://embedded.fm/episodes/499 ), we hosted Janet Hansen( @flashingjanet ) to discuss professional costumery (with electronics) and becoming an artist.
Here's Janet's parting message:
