For some reason I find this the most stressful time - what mistakes will discover when the boards arrive…

Pretty impressed this worked. Back when I was doing my PhD simply extracting the numbers from an image reliably would have been a good result.

Pretty interesting - I really thought it would be the capacitors that had gone wonky.

A tool that converts from ZX Spectrum SCR files to PNG files.
Nothing like scratching your own itch. Wanted a nice easy way to convert from ZX Spectrum SCR files to PNGs. There are some nice command line tools for doing it, but here's my web version. www.esp32rainbow.com/tools/scr-to...

I’ve got ESD protection on the USB port and the ESP32 module seems to be pretty robust. To be honest, I was expecting it to fail horribly.
17.12.2024 09:26 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Next step will be RED testing - which hopefully should be straightforward as the module is already CE certified - but I wanted to get at least the basic certification done before that.

And I think this is testing to see what interference is getting back into the power supply (though I'm not completely sure).

Here's the setup to see what my board is radiating along with the test setup.
