RC made reference materials explaining some basic yet complicated frequently encountered stuff like driving & dimming LEDs, impedance in audio circuits, and mic/instrument/line levels.
Impedance 101
Impedance is resistance across a path that includes capacitors and inductors. A capacitor blocks slow/DC signals but lets fast/high-frequency ones through An inductor does the opposite — it passes DC but chokes high-frequency signals A circuit or amp output im...
LEDs 101
The anode wire extends into the epoxy/plastic housing of the LED and has small cup which houses a tiny semiconductor. a ~25µm diameter gold or aluminum "bond wire" bridges the semiconductor to the cathode pin. The semiconductor in the cup of the anode creates ...
mic-instrument-line levels 101
Mic level is the weakest. A microphone's output is tiny — we're talking millivolts. It's a fragile, low-amplitude signal that needs significant amplification before it's useful. This is what preamps exist to do — take mic level up to line level. The signal is ...
Inkle Loom Basics
The Inkle loom is a relatively simple loom best-suited for weaving longer narrow pieces, but uses concepts that are built on by more complex looms. It's also really easy to make. Screenshots taken from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhzBMYzPVW0 Useful for we...
Contact Mics
Brass/Ceramic elements are available in various diameters 10-50mm, maybe others. Datasheets for the 12mm ones I bought: Diagram for simple wiring (open to noise/interference) Diagram for balanced wiring

Resin Waste Workflow Analysis
Basics Each use of our Wash & Cure unit requires 6000ml (1.5 gallons) of 90%+ IPA to reach the fill line. IPA costs: ~$16 locally (for now) $25 online (cheaper may be available) Each use contaminates the IPA. The more remaining resin, the more contamination. S...
