Tracked down the programmer and the TL866 adapter that I'll need to program the 27C322 with. Even found a few 27C322 EPROMs on the soldering workbench which means everything should be good to go for getting this custom cart back in good working order.

This air quality sensor breakout board from Adafruit just measured the PM 2.5 AQI as 59 outside my front door (which isn't that great), but it matches exactly what AirNow.gov is currently reporting.
The AirNow.gov numbers are based on multiple sensors and modeling, so I really had no idea how close they would be.
Now I have to figure out a way to use the board that doesn't require taking my laptop outside.

Biodegradable electronics can break down into harmful microplastics
Northeastern University researchers have discovered that materials used in the development of transient electronics—devices designed to biodegrade at the end of their life—can break down into microplastics, casting doubt on the true dissolvability of these devices over time.

These chunky toggle switches are nice - they can have upto 4 sets of contacts, each of which seem to have a bunch of poles each. These are momentary but there are some latching. Given the 'under license from Ericsson' label I assume they came off some comms kit originally. Now, I've just got to figure out how to mount them to something other than a panel.

It's one thing to build something like this following a tutorial. It's a whole other thing to try to understand how it works. Time to dig into some data sheets and Arduino library code.

My dad made me a Vesa compatible holder for my oscilloscope and it turned out great! Just as imagined. Of course, it is a massive steel construction, we both would not trust a 3D printed construction with my dear Rigol.

Well, fuck.
I guess my display bracket needs screws for the display driver panel to keep this from happening next time.

My inherited crystal box has quite a variety of odd and old ones. I must have a play with that big module which I assume is an ovened module.
