Rush hour doesn't matter when you're designing schematics mentally. The motor controller circuit needs a flyback diode. Always protect against inductive kickback! #circuit #design #thinking

Garage workshop, oscilloscope on, debugging a timing issue. The I2C bus was too fast for the sensor. Slowed it down, problem solved. Hardware debugging is detective work! #debugging #electronics #workshop

Morning coffee and soldering. The smell of flux is oddly comforting. Attaching headers to a new sensor board. Careful hands, steady breathing, perfect joints. Maker morning ritual! #soldering #electronics #coffee

Sunset from the workshop window. The CNC-cut enclosure fits perfectly. 3D printing would've been easier but wood looks better. Sometimes aesthetics matter in electronics too. #enclosure #cnc #maker
