#629 – At least my house isn’t haunted
- Chris fills in the rest of the story told as a “Puzzler” in the last episode. Unfortunately none of the submissions won this week, possibly because the clues given were too obscure. The long and the short of the story is: my house isn’t haunted
The culprit (top) and the victim (bottom)
- Capacitive coupling lighting up LED lamps
- Phases in US vs Australia
- Reality tv producer setups
- Paul Zawada episode
- Buzzing components
- Predicting penny
- Enough about houses not blowing up, a Starship blew up! (on purpose, it seems)
- Chris read two books about space mining that he loved (2 part series…so far).
- Delta V
- Critical Mass
- Emerson Electric is buying National Instruments for 8.2B
- NI makes Labview, a popular test stand and automation software
- Dave has been choosing microcontrollers and did a recent PIC24 vs STM32 comparison
- Nordic just announced the nRF54H20, which is the successor to nRF52, nRF53…but also has a bunch of RISC V coprocessing cores.
