episode 35: home sensors, disco LED hack and airplanes
After 5 weeks or so, we're finally back! You'd think this episode is filled with 5 weeks worth of exciting techie stuff, but don't get your hopes up yet. Because it's not. Domen joins in to talk about his experiments with home automation, and a sowing...
episode 34: Rust, coroutines and cohosting
Finally, the "we" in announcements doesn't just mean the royal we / majestic plural, but there's an actual co-host! Introduction is in the audio contents, so I guess you'll just have to listen. We talk about first contact with the...
episode 33: new year's resolutions, SD-card interfacing and programming-meeting
HNY2019! Not a whole lot of stuff to talk about, so this is quite a short episode. You're welcome. After some fluffy and unrelated list of New Year's Resolutions, we talk about progress for a decorative VGA generator device w.r.t. mechanics and...
episode 32: a lying oscilloscope, TV repair attitude and VGA generation
Apologies for the apparently low volume and low tone of voice - I think someone might have been tired. This episode discusses ongoing PCB failures, oscilloscope overdrive recovery, a BT-enabled headphone that would just keep connecting, some local...
episode 31: one year anniversary, RC2018/09 results, FPGA and Forth
Yay, after one year we're still polluting the virtual airwaves, so let's review the last year of podcasting (only takes about 8 minutes - don't cry). RetroChallenge RC2018/09 has finished, so we take a look at its winners and honourable mentions....
episode 30: social stuff, Ruby and a USB logic analyser
Lots of little topics this time, woven together by clever commentary. That's CBA Podcast for you. In the spotlight this time: a shout-out to the Quality Team behind this podcast, impressions from the recent Eindhoven Maker Faire, HCC Retro and Bonami...

episode 28: EMFcamp review, mini-CPU and more PCB-fail
Just back from the ElectroMagnetic Fields (EMF) camp in the UK, so there's a little review of that. Furthermore, we talk about a LED-strip decoration, badge-sized mini-version of an 1-bit CPU, PCB-failures (and successes!), the upcoming RetroChallenge...
episode 27: new TS100-tip, MP3-player innards and controlling a WS2811 LED-strip
Recorded from my cellphone + external mic this time, so feedback w.r.t. sound-quality (or anything else!) is welcome, as usual. This episode is about getting a new solder-iron tip for the TS100 iron, progress for hand-milling PCB's, a look...
episode 26: DIN-rail prototyping, coffee-machine revisited and another zap
To counter the evil midsummer heat, we bring you another cool and refreshing episode. Topics include a 45 Vdc SMD LED, DIN-rail prototyping, reconsidering the workings of a previously disassembled coffee-machine, getting zapped by a vintage...
