The Current Source with Derek BrodeurDerek Brodeur Applications engineer involved in writing control software for atmospheric and vacuum robotics used in the semiconductor robotics industry Runs a YouTube channel called "The Current Source" where the primary focus is around electronics What made you want to go start a Youtube channel? Favorite old Project that you have completed? Most difficult video was the Doppler Shift SERs and PIN Diodes Projects that you are currently working on David Kronstein is letting Derek borrow one of his high speed Chronos cameras, so Derek is going to use an High Voltage capacitor and giant SCR to fry some electronic components and hopefully get some good footage Contact bounce in high speed using the camera (and ways to mitigate bounce) 16-bit flip dot array for demonstrations (instead of boring LEDs) Build a TEM cell from aluminum scrap Visit our Slack Channel and join the conversation in between episodes!Tags: Derek Brodeur, electronics podcast, MacroFab, macrofab engineering podcast, MEP, PIN Diodes, Podcast, TEM Cell, The Current Source, YouTube
Ben Krasnow (@BenKrasnow) spoke with us about prototyping, Patreon, and staying current. And a whole bunch of stuff. January 28th Hats and Hacks Party RSVP Ben’s YouTube channel is Applied Science. His recent videos have been shot with the high speed Chronos camera (whose creator David Kronstein was on The Amp Hour #325). Ben has a Patreon page which funds randomness. (Embedded also has a Patreon page, for randomness and mics.) Ben was previously on the show: 119: Do Your Neighbors Have Any Idea? For BLE prototyping, Ben mentioned the OSH Chip by Philip Freidin (146: The Loyal Opposition) and using Processing for Android to make quick-n-dirty test applications. We mentioned the Wazer desktop waterjet. Chris brought up this video describing impedance with a mechanical model. One of Ben’s favorite videos that he did was the first one with an electron microscope, way back in 2011: DIY Scanning Electron Microscope - Overview. Ben gets a lot of his news from Hacker News: https://news.ycombinator.com/ Ben’s Twitter criteria was that they didn’t post updates often too often for his one-a-day check and that they focus on tech: @bunniestudios @vk2zay @elonmusk (for updates on my car's firmware) @LongHairNasaGuy @szczys @samykamkar @PaulStoffregen @mikelectricstuf @johndmcmaster @michaelossmann @macegr @Chris_Gammell @EMSL @mightyohm And some of his favorite YouTube channels (Ben said it was very difficult to distill as there are many great choices): mikeselectricstuff tesla500 Matthias Wandel NightHawkInLight The Signal Path Techmoan Cody's Lab This Old Tony Clickspring Nick Moore Gross Science Haas Automation Hackaday Reactions I Build It Alex Dainis bigclivedotcom We also mentioned architect Frank Howarth of the urbanTrash channel.
Episode 52 is hot off the digital press. In this episode, I got the chance to talk with David Kronstein from the very successful Kickstarter, Chronos 1.4 High-speed Camera.
