What this episode covers

Hosts Chris Gammell and Dave Jones discuss Dave's upcoming Kickstarter for a new multimeter, which faces delays due to a calibration issue with the Hicon chipset. They analyze the technical and logistical challenges of crowdfunding, the industry shift toward cloud-based CAD licensing (Autodesk, Altium), and the state of open-source tools like KiCad. The conversation also covers Amazon's branded FreeRTOS, the impracticality of the Tesla Semi's charging infrastructure, and skepticism regarding new solid-state battery claims.
