This week Dave and Chris discuss how to find out about new nerdy locations, open source chip crowdfunding, documentation, acquisitions, tax write-offs and more!

Tony DiCola from Adafruit joins Chris and Dave to talk about how to use MicroPython on a variety of microcontrollers! Learn how to use a high level, interpreted language to control low level hardware!

Chris and Dave discuss the upcoming trade realities in 2017 and how that might affect the electronics industry. Also EMI, SuperCon, acquisitions, Muntzing, datasheets, Mars and more!

Chris and Dave discuss Pro Bono engineering work, manufacturing big things in high volume, buying stuff from Shenzhen, attacking IoT devices, crazy VC fundraising and quickly copying kickstarters

Brent from OSHStencils.com joins Chris to talk about laser cutting stencils for prototype designs.

Mike Ossmann and Dmitry Nedospasov return to talk security, trainings and hardware hacking for profit.

Dave and Chris give their opinions like usual…just not while talking to one another. A “call and response” format gives a new perspective on how we discuss news.

Robert Feranec of Fedevel Academy stops by to talk about board layout, electronics design, open source hardware, freelancing and much more!

Chris is joined by Parker and Stephen from the Macrofab Engineering Podcast (MEP) for a mashup episode! Discussing machining, CAD, power supplies, discovering new components…and more!

Josh Lifton of Crowd Supply talks about what it takes to make sure every project is delivered to backers. Also: distributed sensors at light shows and how to become an open source stenographer.

Chris announces his move to Chicago. We also talk about restarting a bench, on demand services, chip mergers, new books, watches, hackerspaces and much more!

Chris will finally shake Dave’s hand…in April 2017! We also discuss advice for Freshman EEs, how to hunt down new gear, building VNAs, tool storage, new offices and more!

Chris and Dave talk about the tumultuous consolidation of the chip industry. Also books, innovation, solar, knees and more!

Stefan stops by to talk with Chris about High Voltage power supplies, conductive paint sensors, field testing solar chargers and working on HUGE art installations.

Samy Kamkar talks to Chris about all manner of hacking: hardware, software, drones, MITM, RF and even MySpace.

Only one actually caller, but lots of great audience questions in this “call in” episode! We discussed power supplies, formal EE education, IC die photos, old calculators, math and more!

Chris and Dave discuss the changes to the CAD landscape, how life changes can bring unexpected benefits and the proper way to approach contacting someone about a job.

Chris is joined by one of his oldest friends and former co-workers, Dave Young. He runs a consulting business helping startup design products and an engineering educational program for high school students.

Chris and Dave discuss special tools, mergers and VR…all before getting interrupted by user questions and resolutions.

Dmitry Nedospasov is a full time hardware hacker and security researcher. He tells us about how to get into the silicon and learn all about what’s going on under the hood of devices.
