This is a battery charger for 2x36V Li-Ion batteries. Would only charge to 60%. The part in the circle is a 2N7002 N-MOSFET for switching the voltage measurement to the uC. It should have 3 Ohms at 3V VGS but it did not anymore. It was really hard to find that fault and a second one as well.

I wanted to be able to solder a Pimoroni Pico Plus 2 W on a regular SMD footprint for the RPi Pico, so I made this riser boards to account for the components on the back of the Pico Plus.
A panel of 12 slim PCBs, 1.6mm thick, all they do is have the pins of one side of the RPi Pico, including the castellated edges. Under the panel, there are two depanelized ones.A close-up of the two small risers. Also, the v-groove on the panel PCB can be seen.

Fixing a Midland ALAN 95 PLUS handheld CB radio. Channels 41 to 80 (B band 1-40) are OK, but at C band the oscillator does not lock, because the range is not set right. I think there are chances that this wire has something to do with it.

If you have redesigned only a part of the design and you are too lazy to build all the rest of it just to test the redesigned part: Go Frankenstein
