LEAP#272 Saike 909D
I finally have hot-air, and I soon realised I shouldn’t have put it off so long!
The Saike 909D is a very economical unit, and also includes a bench power supply and solder station.
It is not perfect, but I’m nevertheless very happy with the unit and it does a great job at hot-air reflow.

LEAP#271 Cordwood Guitar Tuner
The Cordwood has six LEDs. Six is one of my favourite numbers .. like the number of strings on a standard guitar. Here’s a quick build that uses an electret pre-amp and a simple Arduino script to provide a pretty stable and accurate indication of which root note is playing.

LEAP#270 Cordwood Aanimations
The Boldport Cordwood proved to be an instant classic. A few LED animations using the Cordword library written by aaronjasso is a good way to show it off. Little did I know that months later, the demo would show up in a hackaday article! As always, all notes, schematics and code are in the Little Electronics & Arduino Projects repo on GitHub

LEAP#269 Boldport Cordwood
The Cordwood Puzzle evokes an era of stuffing massive components into small spaces!
Chunky LEDs and massive 2W resistors result in a final build that has a really nice heft to it.
