A Token of My Extreme

The most essential instruments of an electronics lab: a power supply, an oscilloscope, and a signal generator.

In the tradition of “shut up and write the code” there have been no recent updates on what I’ve been up to.

Ever since publishing the Barium toolkit, I’ve been hinting at real applications waiting to be written.

In my last article I introduced Barium, the X toolkit natively written in Common Lisp.

There’s been a lot of buzz about GUI stuff lately, which made me briefly reflect on the state of the art and share something I’ve been working on as of late.

The Aqualung music player had its 2.0 release earlier this week.

This is the story of a commercially unavailable stereo pair of the bi-amped Marshall Uxbridge, with custom-built replacement electronics: active filters feeding two linear power amps.

I recently designed and built my first DC/DC converter, a synchronous buck regulating some hefty DC currents.

What is the logical next step after making a linear regulator?

The first 15 years or so in the life of this lamp were spent as originally intended: as a TOOLCRAFT magnifying lamp (model 8066/EU), sporting a 22W G10q circular fluorescent bulb.
