content: On the 4th and 5th of March, a workshop on polymer microwave fiber (PMF2019) will be held in Leuven, Belgium. I thought this might be of interest to some people here.Taken from the about page on the website:We are pleased to invite you to the First International Workshop on Polymer Microwave Fiber Technology (PMF2019), organized and hosted by the KU Leuven. Right in the center of the historic town of Leuven, we will discuss recent developments in the field of data transmission with microwave carriers through polymer fibers. The program is a mix of visionary talks, in-depth academic presentations and application oriented contributions from the industry.This workshop aims to bring together all important players in this new field, academia as well as industry and other stakeholders, in order to build a PMF community in which research, development and productization can be stimulated.Polymer Microwave Fiber is a communication concept that combines mm-wave chips, metal couplers and cheap plastic fibers. It has some unique benefits over copper wireline and optical, which can make it a preferred solution for low-cost, low-weight, robust and high-speed data communication in applications such as automotive and industrial ethernet, consumer-oriented connectivity, signal distribution and more.PMF2019 is a two-day workshop that will take place in the Irish College in Leuven. On the evening of the first day, a dinner will be offered and a social activity will be foreseen, exploring the rich cultural and gastronomical offerings of Leuven. In case you need accommodation, we encourage you to book a room at the Irish College itself, as we have a special arrangement with them.Website:https://www.esat.kuleuven.be/pmf2019/pmf-2019-aboutFull disclosure: I am not one of the organizers, but I am one of the speakers.

Electroboom and Simone Gertz among others are on the list.Not sure how it's going to work with so many creators, seems more like a hangout event for the creators more than a public event like Vidcon.Would love to do something like that here, but we don't have that many creators in oz/asia pacific ?

It's a tiny battery-powered WiFi NAT repeater with tons of functionalities suitable for any type of project or experiment that involves WiFi hacking, packet sniffing, ethical hacking and so on....The repeater is configured via commands (can be done via serial monitor or telnet/netcat) and allows you to do lots of things like scanning for access points, connecting to MQTT servers, capturing data of connected clients (using wireshark), protecting your devices from hackers (NAT), etc....This tiny device is calledKortex Xtend Lite V1.0.0and it will be launched soon on Kickstarter, and that's why I wanted some feedback about bugs before launching the campaign, so if you'd like to get aFREE ONE:https://drive.google.com/open?id=182B0TXPj9oaCcKkIkU9TECzyg4vfRWaKeaKioLBdpPAKickstarter campaign preview:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1419929864/2099682157?ref=537122&token=84ed606cFollow me on twitter!:@Mehdi_Mansouri_Good Luck!amin08| Amine Mehdi Mansouri

content: G'day!I'm a Pom that's trying to plan a visit Down Under some time this year, and ideally arrange it so I can exhibit at a couple of maker / hacker / geek / computer type events while I'm there. Basically, any event where there might be some interest in my RC2014 Z80 based modular retro computer. Sadly, the info about most of these events doesn't come out until a short while beforehand, unless you're in the know - and being on the opposite side of the planet, I don't really know what you've got going on down there. The only event I can find any info on is the Adelaide Maker Faire in November [Update - Also now Sydney MMF in August, which wasn't listed when I looked recently]So, what else is going on in Australia this year? There's got to be some other big meet ups, or camps that you guys are planning on attending. Any suggestions?CheersSpencer

The "how to start" page explains what it means to "add keywords" and describes the whole process:https://www.pcbway.com/blog/Activities/PCBWay_2nd_PCB_Design_Contest.htmlLooks like PCBWay allows to share projects so that others can buy it, like OSHPark does and others do, and it influences the chance to win if other people buy your board.I'm not affiliated with PCBWay, but I've used the service in the past, including their assembly service, and they are not the cheapest, but quality was always very good. They even have advanced capabilities like via-in-pad. I know only PCBCart who has better capabilities, like 0.1 mm min hole size compared to 0.2 mm, which of course costs a lot, if you need this option.

The quality can sometimes be a bit hit and miss for the more demanding boards, but for the more standard stuff they do a great job for a great price, love the stencil service too.This share projects is a neat thing. I would like me some of those:https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/W13505AST6_10x10_ProtoBoard.html$5 for 10 of those is a nice gadget to tack on my next PCBWay order. But the design of that particular prototype board is not quite to my liking. I could go and design my own but it takes a lot of time.

Every time I unsubscribe - but then they figure to invent a new newsletter or event and start spamming again.I have not found a way to completely disable mails from Penton. I have added them to a range of spam lists. But looking into them online - they are famous for spamming and ignoring unsubscribe requests.So IF you sign up to anything Penton - do it from a disposable email address.And to Keysight - should you really be dealing with spammers like that?

It's being directly driven by the output of an op-amp with a ground common to mains neutral. By setting a voltage divider on the mains to right around the neon bulb's strike voltage, the 1 Hz frequency component of the summed waves makes the bulb turn on and off.(Also, this is my first video uploaded that I seriously shot and edited, so yay for that.)

content: How can it compensate for cables? I assume it can only go up to the maximum USB voltage limit (5.25V). Even with that value, it would still be better than some chargers that swing around 5.0V.I guess a small firmware update could make the display show amps on a long-press of the brightness button.Shame that it doesn't support the typical 19V laptop supplies, but not a huge deal.Any thoughts on mitigating audible noise? For me, capacitive piezo noise (or inductor whine) is a huge issue, ended up sending half of the high-power multiport chargers back.
