What this episode covers

Hosts Alvaro Prieto and Jen review the Unnamed Reverse Engineering Podcast's first three years and launch an annual listener survey to better understand their audience and improve content. They offer an Analog Discovery 2 as a giveaway incentive for participants who provide their email addresses, describing the device as a versatile USB oscilloscope and logic analyzer. The hosts emphasize that while the prize encourages participation, the primary goal is gathering honest feedback on what the podcast is doing well and where it can improve.

    Our Second Callin Show(ish)

    Hosts Chris Gammell and Dave Jones field calls from listeners Stu, Vikas, and Ryan, discussing hobbyist electronics projects and budget test equipment. Vikas seeks advice on building an arbitrary waveform generator using a Raspberry Pi and a TI TLC5602 DAC, prompting a deep dive into DAC architecture, DMA, and analog filtering. Ryan, a high school student, asks for budget scope recommendations, leading to comparisons between the Analog Discovery and Rigol DS-1054Z. The hosts then analyze industry news, including the Microchip-Atmel acquisition, the Cast.AR Kickstarter delay, and Valve's automated Steam Controller manufacturing in Illinois.
