In this video I have the Tiny mounted to a PCB which I created. I have the kicad project files here:
https://github.com/thaaraak/Tinypico-Radio/tree/master/kicad
I have decided to move away from using Eagle and onto Kicad. That change took a bit a pain!

In this video I start to build an IoT SDR using the ESP32.
For reference on the Tayloe detector and audio processing please refer to the Pyboard Radio I did earlier:

I will dive into the ESP-ADF and the DSP audio processing in the next video which will be posted shortly

This is the build for the optional enclosure for the Phaser kit.
A couple of notes:
- I forgot to mention putting on the 2 nylon spacers underneath the board you can see them at the right of the board at around 8:05
- I just realized you can use the two spare ribbon wires to attach the on/off switch to the board

In this video I do some programming with the SN76489 sound generator IC (and a bit of a channel update)
The SN76489 Manual http://www.vgmpf.com/Wiki/images/7/78/SN76489AN_-_Manual.pdf
The code is all up at
https://github.com/thaaraak/SN76489-Tester
A nice article on interfacing the SN76489 with Arduino

This is an additional video to Part 10 - the double balanced mixers. In this video I use the FST3253 Mux/Demux as a transmit mixer.
Schematics here:
https://github.com/thaaraak/Tinypico-Radio/tree/master/kicad/IQ%20Tayloe%20Mixer
The mixer is first testing via input from the Signal Generator and then using the Microphone Amplifier built in Part 11 of the series
