To get more into espresso i finally got a used gaggia classic and upgraded it with a replacement controller running the open source gaggiuino project.

Fully with loadcell scales, pressure sensor, pid temperature control and a hand soldered all in one pcb.

You can also use standard arduino style modules for most components but the pcb makes it much more compact and reliable.

In this case the modifications are fully reversible in case a future owner wants to revert it back to stock.

Works great and automates a lot of steps to be more consistent. Now i just need to practice the manual parts of making espresso ;)

Note: this is not my project, i just documented the build process on my machine. Maybe it helps someone to get an overview what goes into such a conversion and inspires more users to attempt it.

The community is already pretty big and many also adapted the project for other machines.

Probably my favorite performance of the latter song, but I also appreciate this for the combination of both. Seeing The Fragile vinyl encouraged me to search for this again.

 

Is it possible to have a relative link on Lemmy for posts and comments? I've been able to link to local communities with the /c/community@lemmy.world notation, but when I look at the same post on two different instances, the ID in the URL is different, so I'm not sure how to link a relative path to a post (or to a comment).

Looks fun! Who’s going to post the first BGA rework video? Haha

Took me a bit but from this post I realized you have to search for the community with the full name, i.e. [!ece@lemmy.world](/c/ece@lemmy.world), in the "Communities" tab in the instance you're in. Looks like I'm able to access it from your instance now: https://reddthat.com/c/ece@lemmy.world

Agreed, Anker cables have held up for me for years.

 

For those uninitiated and those interested in Smith Charts, check out this video from w2aew. I recommend his channel for all things RF related.

 

Calling all electrical and computer engineers, students, and hobbyists interested in the subject. Do you have burning questions about the field (and sub-fields)? Do you have a schematic or layout you'd like the community to review? Did you let the magic smoke out? You did, didn't you? That's all fine. Come share your questions, experiences, thoughts, articles, etc. with us.

Oh that's good to know. I haven't experimented much with decaf, but I should give it a shot.

Those B&W coffees look great. I'm eyeing their Esteban Madrid, and about to go into the rabbit hole of coffee bean processing...

I've been meaning to get that book. I've enjoyed Vegan Richa's Instant Pot Cookbook. Also, not a cookbook, but I love the recipes from Addicted to Dates -- the tiramisu is amazing.

 

Thought it could be fun to get a thread going on what beans we're currently using, maybe with some pertinent details on the brew variables if you feel inclined to share.

This past week I've been using Portrait Coffee's Toni, a medium-roast single-origin from Brazil, roasted in Atlanta. I've been really pleased with the taste of my pulls with a 1:2 ratio. Great chocolatey notes, which is what I typically seek.

 

One of my favorite performances from Radiohead. I feel that this album can bring out some stronger views among fans than other albums. Thom's performance of Bloom at Electric Lady Studios is also a must-watch.

 

One of my favorite performances, the wind moving the curtains and the ambiance makes me feel like I'm transported there. Rob's YouTube channel has a ton of great NIN videos.

It's niche political drama, and it doesn't really affect the development of Lemmy.
