This is Archer 7-2 and today's episode, I bring four podcasts that I listen to. The first podcast is from the Hacker Day website. And the subject is chiptunes in an RCA plug or doing a floppy drive, a $50 CNC and wireless switches. In this podcast, Hacker Day editors Mike and Elliot will discuss hacks from around the internet. 3D printed linear rails don't sound like a recipe for a functional CNC machine but there was one this week that surprised us. We were delighted by the procedurally generated music from a three cent microcontroller inside of an RCA plug. The clever flexible PCB may be the coolest part of that one. There's an interesting trick to reverse engineering Bluetooth comms, avandroid apps by running a VM and echoing to wire shark. And we look at what the buzz is all about with genetically engineering mosquito experiments, experiments taking place down in the Florida Keys. The next podcast is from a site called embedded.fm and it's a site dedicated to the many aspects of engineering. They talk about how and why and what of engineering usually devices. The site includes a weekly audio show created and hosted by Alicia White and Christopher White. I guess include makers, entrepreneurs, educators, and normal traditional engineers. The show that got me interested in this podcast was on number 371, All Martian Things Considered. We're engineering camera team lead from NASA is JPL which is Jet Propulsion Laboratories and who's also a Martian photographer. Spoke with with the hosts about low power systems, cameras, clouds, and dust, dust devils on Mars. And in their show notes it says the best paper for learning more is NASA's JPL site and it shows a link. The next podcast on my list is the Ampour Electronic Spodcast. It's hosted by Dave Jones from the EV blog hosting from Sydney, Australia, and Chris Gamble from contextual electronics in Chicago, USA. They discussed the world of electronics designed in an hour long ish weekly show recorded live without adding our mute button. We're joined every other week by guests through the electronics industry. The Ampour is a non scripted off the cuff show that usually airs every Sunday evening US time recorded earlier in the week. It's the largest and most respected electronics oriented radio show. Discussion ranges from obvious electronics to the state of electronics industry, components, circuit design, and general on and off topic grants. The latest show I listened to from here was number 539, The King of Trash with Big Clive. He has a YouTube channel where he tears down cheap toys and has a commentary on how they are constructed. The subjects that stood out to me were his production editing style, the amazing technology and professional and studio lighting. The short and life cycle that's built into LED lights and also Tesla's feeling LCD screen which turns out that they only plan to have it useful for five years. The next podcast is related to the previous one. It's called the contextual electronics podcast. This podcast is a video and audio podcast that post twice per month. They discuss more on more than how electronics work and talk to guests about why building them, why are they building them in the first place. They cover topics inside and outside the field of electronics and try to bring more context to the field. The latest episode I listened to was Mix Media with Becky Stern where they interview Becky who is an artist and a content producer. She is an artist who works to combine the makerspace and electronics and her most recent project was Zodiac and Breudery. She is an also an educator who teaches a class in electronics and the School of Visual Arts in New York City. She is a product manager at Instructables. Going back to the embedded.fm podcast which is one an episode that I'm only part way through but it was still interesting is they interview Sarah who is a kinetic artist and some of her projects include building a robot army and I'll leave a link in the show notes as to where the parts can be either purchased or 3D printed out.
