The Breadboard Power Jumper connects the edge rails (bus strips) of a standard solderless breadboard together while also providing clip points for power leads. This design was heavily influenced by a design from IMSAI Guy with with slight modifications to the PCB shape and with the addition of manufactured test points.
Read More Breadboard Power JumperWhile designing a sensor breakout PCB I decided it would be useful to include power input protection in the form of reverse voltage and overvoltage protection. This circuit is a combination along with slight modification of two circuits I found online. In this article I build up a prototype for functional testing and also perform some circuit characterization. This is a prototype circuit that I plan to implemented in future projects.
Read More Circuit Protection With Discrete ComponentsI set about making an isolated probe for my CNC 3018 Pro Router. Isolating the probe protects the controller from high voltage shocks due to static discharge and voltage generated from the spindle motor.

Read More Lasko Pedestal Fan RemoteTo install saddle bags on my 1988 Honda Shadow VT600 motorcycle I needed to relocate the rear indicator lights and since the original indicators were a little worse for wear looking I decided to upgrade to new indicator lights and housings. The motorcycle indicator market has gone mostly LED with almost no aftermarket options with […]

Read More Modifying A Boot DryerI thought it would be good to start my own blog to document some of the projects I have worked on. Don’t expect anything ground breaking but do expect a mixture of mechanics and electronics.
