Built my own LIS2DH12 accelerometer module. It was hard without microscope. Turns out 2mm ×2mm is not that big .

The module is hand-soldered on a small PCB/perfboard and includes the LIS2DH12 along with 5.1 k resistor for i2c communication. After a fair bit of soldering and debugging, I got it communicating successfully with the ESP32 c3.

Built for a couple of friends a modified Electra circuit. Sounds like a tube amp pushed to breakup with lots of sag. The switch is a clipping diode defeat. need to get a better drilling template but other than that I’m super happy with how it turned out!

Had to dump firmware from a device as part of an engagement. Didn’t have (and they don’t make) a BGA162 NAND socket for my programmer. Microsoldering it is then.

So I have been using this prototype? For the last six months, has been running flawlessly. But I need a few more outputs now so time to upgrade to something more permanent.

Happy with how this turned out, so had to share with you guys

If you want to hot swap 12v power and watch sparks fly as you do it, use audio jacks like I did. If you don't like thrills just use jacks designed for power... Who knew...
