episode 114: EP#114: Chasing Oscillations


  • Stephen
    • Nasty Analog Oscillations 
      • Opamps are drama queens of electronics
      • Solved the oscillation with a small capacitor in the feedback loop to lower the frequency of the feedback
  • Parker
    • Waiting on circuit boards to be built for the DAC Article
    • Reworking the Knowledge Base here at the FAB 
      • Suggestions for topics are welcome!
  • RFO
    • Voyager 1 Fires Up Thrusters After 37 Years
      • Trajectory Correction Maneuver or TCM thrusters
      • TCM's where only used for continuous firing mode and not used to angle the craft which requires controlled burst firing
      • Engineers used decades-old data and examined the software that was coded in an outdated assembler language to figure out how to test the TCMs
      • Electric propulsion coaxial
    • 0306 Capacitor Size 
      • Odd capacitor size
      • Same dimensions as a 0603 but hamburger style
      • For reducing the parasitic inductance by shortening the current loops in circuits
      • AVX product brief on low inductance chip capacitors
    • A Concise Guide to Ceramic Capacitor Types
      • Covers the different classes of capacitors
      • “why does Y5V even exist?”
    • Four Levels of project transcendence 
      • 5th level is starting a lifetime of projects every month but only abandon them after ordering all the parts and supplies for said projects
  • Announcements
    • Twitter Chat INFO 
      • April 6th Friday at 1PM CST
    • Meetup Info 
      • Parker Key Parts of an Arduino
      • Trey German will talk about taking off-shelf enclosures and customizing them. Shout out to @yertnamreg
