What are you hacking this week?

– Finished the 12V USB charger that I was working on for THS. Now trying to kit it up for the THS store.
– Will write a Bus Blaster FPGA programming this weekend.
– Testing of my remote server IP sender is finished, will write about that too.
That is our next post :)
Just saw that. Want a free PCB for using the ULP files? :) The DC-DC converter module is local, couldn’t find it on Digikey, Mouser or Farnell. That can be a problem in the future.
How about Google+ free PCB?
