Podcasts:
Chris and Dave discuss signal integrity, Kirchoff's current law and building up a new base of knowledge.
Bart Dring joins Chris to talk about CNCs, motion control and building custom robots.
This week Chrissy Meyer of Root Ventures joins Chris to talk about DfM at large companies like Apple and Square. Also how these and other skills have translated into working with hardware startups in the venture world.
This week Dave and Chris discuss logic analyzers, layout practice, CPLDs and how heat can stack up inside a design.
Andreas Spiess, "the guy with the Swiss accent" on YouTube, joins Chris to talk about connected devices and the importance of rules.
Dave and Chris discuss freezing LCDs, the cost of prototypes, swapping layer polarity in layout, designing with custom parts, and how to interface to unprotected battery cells.
Sam Stranks is a researcher, professor, and entrepreneur focused on making Perovskites into a commercially viable solar cell. The efficiency has been climbing at a rapid pace over the past 10 years. He joins Chris to talk about how Perovskites could lead to more prevalent (and printed!) solar cells.
This week Dave and Chris discuss designing hardware without specifications, upcoming conferences, working with software services on distributed hardware and how to measure current over a large dynamic range.
Adam McCombs joins Chris to talk about his love of scanning electron microscopes and all things in the world of minuscule measurements. Listen as he discusses repairing, moving and troubleshooting high complexity, high voltage machines.
Shahriar from The Signal Path returns to talk with Dave about 5G and the practical implementation of new broadband technologies. This discussion ranged from phased signal arrays to the importance of processing new information via the internet.
Charles Alexanian joins Chris to talk about manufacturing in the agriculture space, repairing and sourcing components for the music industry and hobbies that take you far afield.
Dave returns from his walkabout to talk with Chris while he's shivering in Chicago (-23F the day of recording). They discuss dev boards, new chipsets, machine learning, checklists, high speed design, microcontroller features and much more!
Maarten Engelen is the CTO of Hiber, a low earth orbit satellite company that offers low data rate connectivity to remote applications. He joins Chris to talk about building and deploying satellites and modems for modern applications.
Dean Pick joins Chris to talk about founding 3 different companies working on automatic transmission motorcycles, phase shift linear actuators and large scale installations of biomass power generation.
Chris Osterwood joins Chris to talk about the constraints of building ground robots, designing reliable machines and making components that robot companies can easily integrate into their next product.
