Win Test Equipment: Enroll at the Keysight University (incl. 300'000$ raffle)
It is March again and I want to remind you if you did not already hear about it. As each year, a special event for Engineers takes place: The Keysight University, where you can learn interesting things. But, to be honest, there is an even more important reason to register: As the only company I know of, they give away 300’000$ in cool equipment. And the best: It is not only open for corporate customers. It is also open for us Makers. This is the best way to get equipment you cannot afford because the chances are high to win. In recent years a few of my viewers wrote me that they won an oscilloscope or a power supply.
Unfortunately, most soil moisture sensors used in our Arduino, ESP8266, or ESP32 projects destroy themselves after a short while. We need a better solution.
Today we will test different sensors, and I will show you, how they work and why most sensors from China destroy themselves. And of course, we will find a solution to the problem.

In video #297, I started to build an 8085 retro computer board with parts that were used in the late 1970s. In the last video, we mainly looked at the hardware. Today we will finish the hardware and start to program the board in assembler. As we did back then. And Ben eater does with a 6502 chip.
In today’s video, we will
- Build the single board computer designed in video #297
- Test it and I will show the two most important debugging tools
- Look at how computers were programmed in the ‘70s and ‘80s
- Repeat the binary and hexadecimal numbering schemes
- Have a look into the CPU architecture
- Look at assembler programming and “spaghetti code”
-We will see how stacks work
- We will have a look at a nice 8085 simulator
- And we will build a “sophisticated” blink program

Laser range sensors can measure long distances with high precision. Today we try to build not only such a range sensor. We want to use it also as laser speed gun. Will it better than our radar sensor?
In video #181 we tried to measure speed using a cheap radar sensor. This project is still in the lab, and I expect an update in the next month or so. In the meantime, I started experimenting with another technology we already encountered in video #119: Time of Flight sensors used in LIDAR systems. This was one of my longtime wishes, and it became reachable when I saw these new rangefinder modules pop up on AliExpress. They have no display but a digital interface. Exactly what we need for our hack.

How can we protect our wallets against rising energy prices and our homes against power outages? In this video, I will show you things you better know before signing a contract for a new PV system. Because not everything is as it looks, and your solar salesman probably will not tell you. Maybe you find ideas to improve your installation? Please come with me on this journey.

Raspberry Pi boards are hard to get, but probably also next year. So we have to have a strategy to survive without new Raspberry boards. Sometimes, a problem can be a chance. This is what we will see today. Stay tuned if you want to get a cheaper, faster, and prettier Raspberry replacement. Spoiler alert: It will be “Back to the future.”

When I saw this video from Louis Rossmann or this one by Tom, a fellow HAM radio operator, I said to myself: Holy shit! I use these car fuses a lot, and I always expected that they protect my circuits from overcurrent and possible burning, but I never checked if they work. Particularly since I started to work with Lithium batteries capable of delivering huge currents and even burning if you are unlucky, the danger increased dramatically. Do I also have bad Chinese stuff? I am sure you want to know the truth, too. So, let’s check out my fuses from AliExpress and Amazon and compare them with the proper ones from Bosch. And I will show you how you can test yours without expensive gear.
