Quick Bricks
Remote work got standardized when Chris N. suggested we work with “bricks.” Plastic bricks emerged from boxes and tubs in different cities. He designed some 3D printed parts with pockets for bricks, so he could click them into place on this torque-vs-angle testing platform when the parts arrived from campus. No need to ship the …
Wandering diodes
These micro-MELF diodes are a little over a millimeter tall. Normally they’re arranged in an orderly fashion in a tape, so a robotic pick-and-place system can grab them individually and place them on a printed circuit board. Not today! They spilled out. Is there a way to self assemble them onto a surface? People have …
Remote embedded systems project
We went remote halfway through the project-based Embedded Systems course. It was our first time sending out kits and having students complete the work from different cities and states. It probably won’t be the last. One troubleshooting technique was hard to replicate: swapping in a known-good part in a system that’s not working. Software problems …
