Tools to Make Tools, to Make Tools, to Make Tools…

Blogged by Mathieu as Electronics,Photography — Mathieu Wed 31 Oct 2007 9:33

As I work on the various electronics projects I’ve now got going, I often hit points where I need to make something else before I can finish what I started. I need to make the tools to make the tools, as it were… because it’s a recursive process. Hopefully I’ll hit an end state other than taking up fly-fishing instead!

RC Power Supply

Last night I made this little 5V power supply to power my RC components when they are on the bench, to save on battery hassle. I just tested it with a 9V battery and a cheap Wal-Mart 120VAC-9VDC power supply and get the same amount of servo jitter, i.e. noise. So sub-sub-mission accomplished and onwards to the next sub-mission (a trainer cable, if you were wondering).
