I'm hosting Fur Face soldering workshop this Saturday at Pedal Markt in Berlin NK.
It's a beginner-friendly soldering and pedal assembly workshop. You build a fuzz and get to experiment with different transistors and biasing to get different sounds.

Before I give up on it, does anyone have a schematic for a subzero SZPA-P88 PA system? Usual places have drawn a blank, and I suspect it’s not available anywhere. #makershour #maker #repaircafe #repairs #fix #electronics #paSystem #UK
The Trump administration is considering imposing tariffs on foreign electronic devices based on the number of chips in each one, as it seeks to drive companies to shift manufacturing to the United States. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/09/27/economy/trump-tariffs-foreign-electronics/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #chipmakers #electronics #donaldtrump #us #tariffs #trade

Schematic sheet borders are just a guideline, right? #electronics
It's also wild to me that WCH can sell a four port USB 2.0 480Mbit/s hub chip CH334F for AU$0.83 qty 1 at LCSC, and as cheap as AU$0.35 qty 1 on Taobao.
I guess I'm finally "old man yells at electronics progress" years old...

Just learned about this sick feminist hacker group that made a technique for creating PCBs out of locally harvested clay instead of plastic! Ofc the PCBs will have to be pretty simple, but ill bet you could totally make an arduino with this!
Really want to test this out and do a workshop at Sandbox (our local hackerspace) if this works!
