3-input logic gates built from NOT gates and 2-input NAND gates. (The most complex circuits may not be optimal.)

Edit: Replace all the NAND gates with NOR gates to get the same 3-input gates in a different order.

No wonder my TV doesn't work. That must have been explosive. Even the screw used to hold it to the heatsink melted a bit.

I did order an exact replacement, but if anyone knows of a MOSFET with similar characteristics as 60R190Q, that doesn't explode, then do let me know.

I've finally finished the electronics for my upcoming exhibition "Moans and Groans" at Notam. The circuit is a custom designed to translate audio to vibrator motor signals. It works as an audio file player as well as a class compliant USB audio interface.

On the 23rd of April I will conduct a haptic audio workshop in Oslo at NOTAM where we play with this technology.

3D full-wave #openEMS simulation of the classic experiment in high-speed electronics: where does the return current go? A voltage is suddenly connected (Heaviside step) to a resistor via some wires. An incoming wire and two return wires are connected in parallel. One return path is longer, but runs with the incoming wire side by side, the other wire returns to the source via a straight path. By common sense, radio signals follow the path of least impedance, not resistance, obviously the initial rising edge mostly follows the longer path (until the currents redistribute themselves later reflections occur). #electronics

I built a latency meter with an Arduino and a photo transistor to answer one question: Is click-to-photon latency higher on Wayland than on X11?

And the answer is: Yes, actually.

⏱️ 42 ms on X11, compositing off
⏱️ 56 ms on X11, compositing on
⏱️ 64 ms on Wayland
⏱️ 71 ms on Windows 10

Tested with Plasma 6.3.4 and Firefox 137. I will improve my methods and confirm these numbers. See replies for details.
