Ah…sparklers on electronic gear. How special.
Maybe we can attach some sparklers to the person who watches special things on the lab pc…

I hope tomorrow’s Arduino class does morph into this!

Little wimpy low voltage low current ckts usually die a quite death.
On the other hand you can program that arduino to set off a sequence of “events”.
Limited only by your imagination.
Technology made useful.
Happy programming…

No worries, I have a jug of concentrated magic smoke, I’ll bring it in. The instructions are fairly straightforward:

  1. Add 2 drops of concentrated magic smoke to 100 gallons of tap water.
  2. Stir well until thoroughly mixed.
  3. Completely immerse electronics for 8 hours in solution. Use a timer to be sure.
  4. Remove and shake off excess magic smoke solution.
  5. Allow to air dry for about an hour and then power it up!

This stuff is great and I use it for preventative maintainance with all my valuable electronics.
I’d be more than happy to treat all the electronics in the lab just for preventative measures.

Ah ha…so that’s where the magic smoke went. Some of my components are crying they want theirs back :astonished:

I’ll treat everything in the lab tonight when no one is around. I don’t want to disrupt anything anybody is doing!
