3D printed diffusers

I wanted to upgrade my voltmeter clock with illuminated voltmeters that react to the ambient level of brightness. So I had to design a new case for the voltmeter mechanics and electrics that included light guides or rather diffusers. This posed and interesting challenge and learning curve that I detail

Using reflection to recursively read properties

I'm currently working on code that needs to retrieve the values of certain properties in an object recursively, without knowing the type of the object. So using reflection is required. For demonstration, I'm using these two classes: public class TestItem { public string Name { get; set; } = string.Empty; } public class Test

Syncing application settings using symbolic links

Modern software now starts including features to sync settings (such as tool preferences) to a server, often the one from the software's vendor. This is pretty neat as it allows for better continuity when working across devices. But the majority of software still doesn't include this functionality. This is probably

The UnoPermanente: Arrival and lessons learned

About 2 weeks ago, the PCBs arrived. They look really good and the silkscreen is nice and sharp. Total damage was 24,45€, not including any of the components. I have to say, this already feels a lot more formal than an empty perf board. The UnoPermanente PCBI ordered these

Fulree FW32D12A3

The Fulree FW32D12A3 is a DC-DC converter that can convert from a range of input voltages to a stable 12V output. It can be found on eBay using the query “12V3A stabilizer” and purchased from multiple vendors. The vendors often provide very sparse and superficial information, so I’ll try
