I’m talking about this one. My very first entry was dated 2nd August, 2024. I’d written notes about the Caesar Cipher, back when I was learning about Cryptography. Yeah, I studied that for shits and giggles. Not like I found it fun. Building stuff, like engineering, is so much more […]

It’s been more than a week and we haven’t moved past the Clipping Stage. Oh well. My dad suggested I use LTSpice — a software that lets you build a circuit and measure its current plus voltage. It’s not very user-friendly (or pretty, for that matter), but it gets the […]
arc of a scythe book 2. holy hell. i’m not sleeping tonight. it’s diabolical (might just be the best book series i’ve read this year)
Here’s what I’ve been talking about over the recent blog entries: The Clipping Stage! Disclaimer: It’s still not complete; there’s supposed to be an additional capacitor and diode, but we’re testing the resistors and transistor first. R1 is the Green Resistor, with a value of 510kΩ. It’s connected to the […]
2N3904, you will be missed. Moving on. I just re-tested the stage from yesterday. I should REALLY learn how to read the bands. My big brain couldn’t differentiate these resistors: Going from left to right: R2 and R1. They’re used for the schematic below: Everything but V3 worked today. Apparently, […]
Here’s my circuit now, for future ref. I might need to move some parts around, because it’s totally not working at the moment. I spent three and a half hours testing the “clipping” stage of the circuit. There was no current on the oscilloscope at first — turns out we’d […]
