How TINY Can I go? The BEST Power Board is here! – YouTube – GreatScott!

[Wayback/Archive] How TINY Can I go? The BEST Power Board is here! – YouTube – GreatScott!

I will try to remake an AliExpress PCB. It is a very handy voltage converter that can take a varying battery voltage and convert it into 3.3V or 5V while only requiring very little current (25uA) on the input. Sounds awesome, but the board is way too huge. That is why I try to push the size limits in this video to the minimum.

More Old Micro Cornucopia issues on BitSavers from 1987 and 1988

Posted by jpluimers on 2013/04/08

Last quarter, 11 issues of Micro Cornucopia appeared on BitSavers including the final May 1990 issue.

This month, another 7 issues appeared, most of which cover a form of Pascal in one or more of the articles and advertisements:

A fun thing to notice are the advertisements for Modula-2. Logitech Modula-2. Yes though the Logitech Wikipedia page does not mention it at all, Logitech didn’t only sell mice, keyboards and web-cams. They had more products. Being Swiss, they were big in Modula-2. And Bitsavers has a PDF of that too: Logitech_Modula-2_86_1.0_Feb84.pdf

The only issues still to be scanned are #28 till .
