    • In short - it’ll getcha through college
• Parker
  • Pinheck REV 8 is routed 
    • Finishing silkscreen after the podcast
    • Placing an order for prototypes this week!
    • Switched from standard SD card to microSD card
  • Next board is the I2S Audio Amp 
    • TAS5755M
    • Working with the  TAS5755MEVM 
      • So far it kinda works
    • Need to generate a clock for it?
• R.F.O.
  • Making A Classic Chip From Discretes
    • Motorola MC1466 - voltage regulator
    • Stephen has made opamps with Discretes before - that was a project we finished! 
      • MacroFab EP11
  • Apple says sorry
    • iPhone Batteries and Performance
  • Zapp from the Slack Channel asks "If my MCU has internal pullups on an IO why would they recommend additional pull up resistors externally?"
• MacroFab Hiring!
