Like many I’ve been working from home over the last year or so. While I have a reasonable speaker system connected to my desktop PC, I can’t use it while I’m working on my laptop. The solution as ever lies in a custom PCB!

Audio Attenuator № 2
The volume control knob for my PC speakers has been intermittent as long as I’ve had them. Sometimes the left or right channel drops out entirely, other times one of the channels is quieter than the other. I’m not sure why it took me so long to realise I had the means to replace it but here we are.

PCB Pin Badges – Skeletor
In previous posts I’ve talked about some of the difficulties I’ve had converting vector drawings to PCB layouts in Eagle. After discovering a video by Twinkle Twinkie where he shows off his workflow I thought I’d follow along and see what came out. The result is the Skeletor “Myah!” badge.
