content: Hi there DaveI like your blog, but i miss one thing on it. Yeah review, tear downs, all favorite mailbag, and now all new Fundamentals Friday is fine and entertaining, butyou could make video where readers, duh viewers come up with some project, and you make itFor example viewers decide that you could make, i don`t know oh one thing just poped in my head wireless plotter/cutterAs one stands just in front of me with hanging out long usb wire... I hate wires... So you could make video how you brainstorm ideas, how it should work, how it should look, what interface it could have.. etc.. when you could make cad stuff, I understand that making such project is hard for one person, but you also could outsource itsome viewers could make 3d cad, for e.g. i work with eagle cad, solid works, 3d max, some other design programs (photoshop, corel draw etc..) so i could make stuff related to that. Or some company that wants free commercialMaybe make some trip to factory at final stage (like what video with pick and place machine). Basically to see project born from idea to final stage where it sits on your table. And yeah it would be open source, and you could sell themSomething like micro current project only beefed up

content: I get requests like this daily.The sort of stuff you are asking for would take a 20 videos series and months of work, minimum.

content: That is also possibility. But still it would be interesting to see how it looks inside real engineer cooking potI made some commercial projects, but in no means i am pro, i am just hobbyist and it`s interesting how differently things are made by pro`sI made thew underwater lighting's for photographers, had excellent ideas that came out superbly. People counter for one shop (counts going in and out), and some stuff for my self, like laser cutter controller, as my original moshidraw refused to work... cpu got busted... and still havn`t finished my micro quadcopter project. 3,5 cm in sizeit fly's, almosthas some stability issues. So i think such video would be helpful. It is easy when you have Know Howand it`s hard when you have to do Trial and error

content: Quote from: EEVblog on May 26, 2013, 12:32:35 pmFunny, because I thought how much I liked your "intro to thermals" video where you built those LED bars for your deck/patio. I thought the same as the original poster, that a tutorial on starting a product from start to finish would be great... but it would be a metric crapload of work!It's something I thought about doing, but I really can't because it would be giving too much away from a commercial standpoint... and for you, it would be a lot of work and maybe not much reward.I think the FPGA tutorial suggestion would be fantastic thoughOf course, I'm being selfish with that!

content: Quote from: Corporate666 on May 28, 2013, 08:42:55 pmThat is essentially what I wanted to do with the PSU series, and there were like 12 videos before it branched into a spinoff project, and is still not close to being finished.
