McRetro.net Rebooted
GitHub, Markdown and a splash of Jekyll. Let’s see how this goes… First challenge: import everything again. Apparently I worked that part out because 566 posts imported successfully. Thanks to jmcglone.com for the guide too. It was extremely useful getting everything set up. This particular website incarnation did not last... Continue reading

Programming AM29F032B on the MiniPro TL866

Panasonic SMD Caps - FP Series
Just a little reminder for myself the next time I’m trying to work out the voltage rating from the markings on Panasonic FP-series SMD capacitors. The saved marking illustration uses a TG-series example; Panasonic’s FP datasheet confirms the FP voltage codes below: j = 6.3 V A = 10 V... Continue reading
