My wife and I used to keep disposable earplugs in our pockets when our little one was a month or two old and in her intense crying phase.
According to NIOSH safe exposure time at this level is about 1.5 minutes per day.
I've had an HP LaserJet all-in-one printer in my home office for a couple of years now. I finally ran out of black toner and had to swap the cartridge out.
The box had this cool anti-counterfeiting seal on it, which changes appearance as you tilt it. Let's take a closer look!
For all of the C++ hating C programmers out there looking to ruin someone's day...
"class" and "template", among other things, are legal function/variable/struct names in C. Sprinkle these around and your API can't be called from C++ code!
A week or so ago, @femtoduino asked me to help out with troubleshooting and reworking a prototype of the BOMU, a tiny USB-connected microcontroller dev board. It's a super dense six-layer board with multiple levels of blind vias.
Here's a bare board after removal of back mask.
Open source signal analysis and protocol decode software. Open hardware 5 GHz probe.
Now all we need is an open hardware scope that has enough B/W to keep up...

For those of you who complained about the schoolgirl outfits in the previous draft of this picture, I agree!
Had the artist redraw them in more reasonable construction PPE.
This board is a lot of firsts for me so really hoping it works!
* First 8 layer design
* First 10GbE FPGA design
* First SATA design
* First DDR3 design
* Largest design by area
I've done 10GbE on devkits, and built a SFP+ to SMA test fixture. But never to an FPGA on my own PCB
And here we are with RAM and optic installed.
That's it for tonight, the rest of bringup will have to wait until I have time to write some actual firmware.
