Hosts Carl and Corey discuss a grab bag of embedded electronics topics, starting with their new remote recording setup using Shure and MXL microphones. They review the TI ADS1263 32-bit ADC and the Lattice iCE40 FPGA ecosystem, highlighting the open-source Project Ice Storm toolchain. The hosts then critique the Raspberry Pi Zero's limited I/O and the safety issues surrounding lithium-ion batteries in 'hoverboards', before Corey airs a grievance about poor PCB differential pair routing practices.

Other shows on the same ground, closest first.
Hosts Chris Gammell and Dave Jones discuss the challenges of open-source hardware, the low-power Analog Devices AD7691 ADC, and the new DesignSpark PCB export capabilities. They also touch on the US robot initiative, patent law changes, and historical tech milestones.
Mike Szczys and Elliot Williams discuss the closure of Maker Media, a GPS hardware failure grounding flights, and a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ power management chip vulnerability. They also review community hacks including a vintage speech synthesizer, an SOIC test clip debug connector, and a mechanical drum machine, before analyzing the Takata airbag scandal.
Dave Jones and Chris Gammell discuss the failure of TI's 80 GHz radar eval kit, the shutdown of Intel's IoT dev boards (Galileo, Edison), and the insolvency of Jerry Morris's company Cast AR. They also cover the teardown of the Batteriser chip, the history of the 555 timer, and the enduring popularity of the SparkFun 130-in-1 electronics kit.
Elecia White and Christopher White discuss the LeapFrog LeapPad and Odyssey Globe, recalling Elecia's work on their capacitive sensing and custom ASIC technology around 2001. They analyze the governance models of open source projects like Valetudo, ESPHome, and Zephyr as analogies for large company politics, and review Bunnie Huang's Dabao Evaluation Board for its verifiability features. The hosts also cover practical tools like Merlin Bird ID and Excel data bars, while debating the use of Ethernet in embedded systems and the state of Renesas MCUs.
Host Philip Friedan and producer Christopher White review gift ideas for embedded engineers, discussing products like the Nest Protect smoke alarm, Dropcam, and the Bus Pirate. They also critique the licensing and usability of IAR Systems' embedded development tools, advocating for GCC and open-source alternatives like Qt Creator. The episode includes recommendations for online backup services like CrashPlan and Backblaze, and sources for hardware components such as SparkFun, Adafruit, and Shapeways.
