Zoyi ZT-MD1 and FNISRI LCR-ST1 LCR meter side-by-side comparison
A very quick comparison of these two LCR testers. I couldn’t find a side-by-side comparison on these, so I recorded this crappy, crappy video.

Atari 400 repair and composite video mod
I recorded a set of videos recently documenting some troubleshooting of an ATARI 400 system, and the conversion from RF to composite video. There was so little info out there about this mod that I thought even my crummy video would help.

TurtleCam Weather Station and Web Cam
Now broadcasting from Cascais, Portugal.
The webcam and weather station are based on Raspberry Pi systems running motion and weewx. They are currently running the Rasberry Pi v3 12MP camera, and a few cheap i2c based sensors for measurements – a BME280 for air pressure, a MCP9808 for temperature, and a Si7021 for humidity.
The weewx setup uses the Belchertown skin and gets the radar data from windy.com. The weather station currently broadcasts to awekas.com, weatherunderground.com, and windy.com.
