Thur Nov 2 Stream: Let's finish the Apple II+ Schematic in KiCad! (And then I'm headed to Supercon!)
Thur 10/19: Let's work on the Apple II+ KiCad Schematic live! (Right now!). https://youtube.com/live/_R6WSO2lKi0?
This schematic is part of the Bit Preserve Github repo. That's where people use KiCad to redraw schematics for vintage computers.

For future me, the next time I need it.
It’s a silly design, but I love my compact Banana-to-USB adapter.

KiCad 7's PDF plotting is pretty awesome... depending on the reader you use.
Live on YT working on an Apple IIe Schematic in KiCad... come say hi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5LZrmN_rEA
Early in my career, a technical mentor revealed two myths about the Nyquist theorem. I cover them both in this video.
Once again, a friendly reminder to all #vintagecomputing fans to
GET THE DAMN BATTERIES OUT!
Even this small amount of corrosion on this memory battery killed a Tandy 200 by eating away about 7mm of a critical trace. Easy fix with a wire, but this could have been WAY worse.
If you own or collect old computers, go through them NOW and make sure you get all the batteries out.
I have a small batch of these Lux Lavalier Heart necklaces available on @tindie!
