Update: Meanwhile the video of the talk at Hackaday Europe is online: And there is an article on Hackaday.com https://hackaday.com/2026/07/16/hackaday-europe-2026-build-a-cable-modem-for-your-arduino/ Documentation for the project shown at Hackaday Europe…

This is a quick guide to gaining access to a large variety of TI parts – in particular operational amplifiers – in LTspice.

Motivation Guitar effect pedalboards … If this post is for you, I guess I don’t have to explain this concept in great detail here.

TLDR I built a relatively simple, cheap, and most of all maker friendly Constant Fraction Discriminator for high precision photomultiplier (and SiPM) timing applications.

TLDR I discovered that YosysHQ’s oss-cad-suite now “secretly” supports code entry not just in Verilog but also in VHDL.

Motivation This is a very short one – but I felt like sharing this with the world.

Motivation Sometimes you just barely get away with the number of available microcontroller GPIO pins to implement the desired functionality — And then you discover that you have no more pins left to read out any buttons that a user could push to actually…

Demo Video Introduction Earlier this year I wrote a post about how to build a simple shortwave receiver with nothing but widely available hobbyist electronics parts, i.e. 74HCxx ICs, standard transistors and op-amps.

So, I was simulating a circuit in LTSpice and I wanted to use an 4000-series IC.

Introduction Heya.
