Economical electronics projects that take advantage of the electronics surplus, to help people survive, and eventually thrive, in the AI economic transition happening now. Pronounced "TENT-zhen" (like "tension").
Project #1 is a bench of open, verifiable instruments built from cheap generic parts. Its instrument #1 is a two-channel digitizer and signal generator in the Red Pitaya class, on a Colorlight i9 (Lattice ECP5) board with AD9226 ADC modules and a custom analog front end.
Every claim this project makes says how it is known: proven, checked, tested, measured, trusted, or unknown.
Status: planning. Nothing works yet.
- Vision — why, for whom, and the entry tiers (tier 0 needs no hardware)
- Roadmap — phases and acceptance criteria
- Verification — what can be proven today, and the trusted base
- Sourcing — LCSC, JLCPCB, incoming QA
- Instrument #1 — the digitizer and generator
- The mesh — project #2, a LoRa mesh on UMSH, with a port to Tock
- Brand — the peregrine mark and the 腾振 lockup
- Disclaimer — as is, at your own risk, not certified test equipment
