Sometimes I look at data sheets for old #electronics components, and find it delightful to look at old company (or product) #logos.Today I give you “New Japan Radio Co., Ltd.” in a pretty handwritten-style script font, from https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/NJR%20PDFs/NJM2268.pdf

@icm Had a lot of fun building my PiDP-11 a few years back. Took a bit of time, especially getting the switches just right

@me_ I don't remember ever seeing a dev board for those, I think when Soundcraft used them on the Broadway audio mixer we just did our own design.

I am gonna wire up som lighting in a cabinet, and I am using a four pin #LED strip. There will be some gap between short runs of LEDs, and so I need some wiring between them. Trying to decide on what kind of connector I should use. I want something that can be connected without soldering, and was first thinking I should make some LED-strip->JST-connector adapter boards. But maybe there are better solutions. Anyone have any tips? Search results are depressing because of AI-slop.#electronics

@mike @dmakovec @jpm haha very good. I'm going to let mine cancel if it doesn't ship, which seems likely.

@FediFollows @kenteh @liz @blitzcitydiy @mle_online @socketwench @keri_szafir thanks for the mention

@jaseg @babble_endanger > get what I need easier out of an FPGACursed statement right there

Made a clock!#electronics #diy_electronics

@jztusk Not only saw them. Used them to fix the radio and TV. If the TV didn't work. "It was probably a tube." And dad would open the back of the set and unplug all 5 or 6 tubes. We'd carry them to the hardware store in a paper bag and use the tube tester to figure out which one was blown. Buy the replacement. Head back home full of hope, and replace all the tubes plus the shiney new tube. Invariably it worked and the TV fired right up. Howdy Doody!

@rasterweb ugh

@Kazinator hmm, yeah, I have encountered many pots in my life with that exact problem, and I do kind of want this lamp to last for many years. but I was kinda hoping for the tactile effect of either sliders, or (second choice) knobs with a defined start and end to their rotation.(the inputs are going to mic deep red, red, green, blue, warm white, and cold white light based on their position)
