How to Write a Scientific Journal Article Using Overleaf – Academic Writing Tutorial

This is an excellent short video on the advantages of using Overleaf for Academic writing.

There are several abrupt stops for adverts, but the video is well worth watching.

Resistor boards

This is a repost and update for a previous post. I am posting this here too.

As the next Paignton Library Stem Group meeting is

Date : Saturday 9th April 2022 Times : 11am –> 15:00

In preparation for the next event, I have been working on creating some electronics resources to demonstrate at the event.

These are quite simple to make, solder on headers and which ever component is needed for that particular board

Electronics 1

Various resistors 270ohm 330ohm 1k ohm 10k ohm

As of 23/3/2022 I have made up the following:-

  • 20K
  • 1 M
  • 2,2K
  • 15K
  • 80k

Which I hope to use for demonstrating voltage dividers.

A few pictures of some previous boards, that I have built up.

Electronics 1

Power supply, we need to get power from a battery to the circuit.

Electronics 1

Reed switch (not soldered), 1uF capacitors (soldered) and a switch block, not soldered as I want to figure out which switch block to use (I have a few)

Electronics 1

I have added a 3 way header as this allows for:

  • Components to be attached together
  • Branches in circuits
  • Connection of meters, scopes and other equipment

It should be possible to build a circuit that, internally will flash, for example an LED then use a scope to examine the frequencies at different points in the circuit.

I plan to solder up other component boards. Hopefully I will have something to demonstrate, but other visitors should be able to have a go.

UK Online Safety Bill

The draft of the new Online Safety Bill is now available.

The draft Online Safety Bill establishes a new regulatory framework to tackle harmful content online.

This bill is really important and has potential implications for anyone running online services. This bill aims to protect both adults, children and young people from online harms.

LibreAdventure Testing 3

Lots of work behind the scenes to iron out some bugs & problems with the software. I was involved with further testing on 15/3 and there is further testing planned for 17/3. This testing has also included load testing so we know the server will stand up to the number of users expected.

Looking good for the weekend. There will be a LibrePlanet post on Saturday with a link to this.
