"Introducing the AI-Powered Electronic Component Classifier: The ultimate in intelligent component management."

Possibly useful for those of you who work a lot with electronic components.

"The Electronic Component Classifier is a project that uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to automate the identification and classification of electrical and electronic components."

"Features: Component classification: Resistors, capacitors, LEDs, transistors, potentiometers, diodes, and integrated circuits are the seven classes into which electronic and electrical components can be simply categorised, using multilayer categorization. Further details: With only one click, you may find out more details about integrated Circuits, transistors, and capacitors. User-friendly design: The interface is simple to use and navigate, thanks to its clear headings, buttons, and text boxes."

Diode Matrix
\
A diode matrix is an extremely low-density form of read-only memory that was used in computers in the 50s through the 70s, before EEPROMs were invented. (They are actually still used, but only inside microchips, not using discrete diodes.) Each bit in the ROM is represented by the presence or absence of one diode. The ROM is easily user-writable using a soldering iron and pair of wire cutters.
\
This particular diode matrix board is a floppy disk boot ROM for a PDP-11, and consists of 32 16-bit words.

Akustisches 'Kunstwerk' auf Basis eines minimalistischen 8-Bit-Microcontrollers: Ein PIC 10LF320 gebΓ€rdet sich wie eine Kreuzung aus Spinne und Grille. Video mit Sound weiter unten

Akustisches 'Kunstwerk' auf Basis eines minimalistischen 8-Bit-Microcontrollers

Eine Spielerei von vor zehn Jahren. Zieht ca. 1 mA an 2,5 V (zwei AA Eneloop), entsprechend 2000 Stunden bzw. 83 Tagen Dauerbetrieb. Mit einer CR2032 etwa acht Tage. Der Prozessor ist mit seinen 64 Byte RAM und 512 Worten Flash Program Memory (~0.4 KB) schon leicht ΓΌberdimensioniert fΓΌr solche Spielereiein, aber noch kleiner gibt's den nicht. Wesentliches hier genutztes Feature ist der NCO (Numerically Controlled Oscillator).
