• I am trying to recreate this circuit in TinkerCAD, which is not giving me the correct current values. What am I doing wrong here?

  Have you tried modeling it in falstad's onine circuit simulator? Source: 12 months ago

• How do engineers be confident when printing a PCB?

  Simulation is not viable for all but the most trivial circuits, and even then it won't catch things like a wrong footprint. I do occasionally use the Falstad simulator for simple analog circuits, but that just isn't possible with complicated digital ICs. Source: about 1 year ago

• How can I derive the equation on the right? Please help!

  I don't know, but you could try simulating the circuit in Falstad circuit simulator to look at what is going on. Source: about 1 year ago

• ELI5: How to make an electrical circuit that can be switched on and of at specific intervals?

  You can use Falstad to make sure you have a basic understanding of how relays work. Source: about 1 year ago

• Need recommendations for PCB simulation and printing software

  This is quit comprehensive, but missing the awesome and intuitive online simulator: falstad. Source: about 1 year ago

• Deej: An open-source hardware volume mixer for Windows and Linux

  Can't help you with a list. But https://hackaday.com/ features sometimes nice DIY project, I often also see them popping up on youtube. But you might be able to find some if you search on 3D printing websites such as https://www.printables.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• What are some fun ME-related coding projects?

  Https://hackaday.com/ has many ideas/previously made projects. They also reward you for bringing up something new. Also accept year around applications. Check it out. Source: 12 months ago

• Ask HN: Did students lose interest in electronics as a hobby in the early 80s?

  We made abstractions successfully, world changing abstractions. Do the NAND to Tetris course and see that tech is abstractions on top of abstractions. Electronics today is frequently represented by code. Check out Verilog or VHDL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_description_language Where electronics stayed interesting is in the realm where code meets reality -> robotics and art.

• What is your go-to source for science/tech news?

  Hackaday for when I'm browsing cool ideas I can actually do myself. Source: about 1 year ago

• Finally got my DMS-100 together enough to place phone calls

  Very nice phone switch you should send it to hackaday.com. Source: over 1 year ago
