Unlocking USB-C Power: What is USB-C PD? (Part 1)
USB keeps evolving, and with it, confusion grows-especially since "USB" is often used interchangeably for both the connector and the protocol. When it comes to charging, things get even trickier with USB-C, which now offers Power Delivery (PD) alongside legacy charging. In this video, we'll take an in-depth look at USB-C PD and explain how this new method enables higher voltages and more efficient charging. I hope you enjoy this video!

Add USB-C to your ST-LINK
Просмотров 2132 месяца назад
Is it just me, or does the ST-LINK need a connector upgrade? I mean, it's 2024, and everyone is using USB-C now. Personally, I hate working with USB-C connectors, but it's time to dive in. In this video, we'll talk about USB-C and show a cool hack for adding USB-C to the ST-LINK V2. The ST-LINK V2 is still pretty good for programming, so let's get to it! #usbc #stm32 #stm32 #electronics Credits...
What is the best calipers to use?
Просмотров 2302 месяца назад
In this video, I compare three types of calipers: Electronic, Dial Indication, and Vernier. Calipers are incredibly useful in electronics for quickly measuring higher tolerance parts, such as trace or board widths and enclosure clearances. I discuss the pros and cons of each type and how they can help you achieve more accurate measurements in your projects. Calipers Simulation link: maheshkurmi...

Upgrade your ST-Link with a mini-B USB Jack
Просмотров 1272 месяца назад
#ST-LINK #stm32 #firmware #electronics #electronics I love the USB stick-style mini ST-LINK programmer/debuggers, but I dislike the USB-A jack they use. In this video, I have modified the ST-LINK to use a mini-USB jack. It seems like every time I turn around, I need a different USB cord. I know USB-C was supposed to fix everything, but that jack is fairly difficult to work with as it is the "ul...

Open-Source Logic Analyzer Software: Sigrok Pulseview
Просмотров 5483 месяца назад
You can use your cheap logic analyzer clone or genuine tool with open-source software! Someone in the comments mentioned that Sigrok could be an alternative to other proprietary logic analyzer software. Sigrok (Pulseview) is super cool and worked pretty well as you will see. On Windows, there is a small pitfall to the installation. It also works on Linux. I hope this video is informative!
Mastering Soldering: Small Electronic Parts with a Soldering Iron
Просмотров 6643 месяца назад
In the last soldering video I showed how to solder small parts using a stovetop for heat. Now I am applying heat directly to the parts using a soldering iron. This is more time-consuming and also does not make pretty solder joints as would reflowing in an oven or stovetop. Here is just another way to make electronics. Here are some of the sound effects and video clips used in this video. Music:...
