I first had the idea for this project back in 2019. I built an early prototype on a breadboard and became so engrossed in it that I ended up using it for about a year without ever making a proper enclosure for it. Ultimately, I never fully finished the project and it gradually faded into the background. The concept When you enter a state of deep focus, it’s easy to lose track of time. Befor...

This project started as a simple idea while browsing through the LT3080 datasheet. I came across a lab supply schematic that immediately caught my attention. The concept is simple: take the original schematic and add some more functionality, make a simple instrument that is convenient to use. In the end, this project proved to be a far more complex and rewarding challenge than I initially an...

Every project needs a beginning. Not a polished, market-ready product, but a version zero: something real, working, and imperfect. CirmiTorch is exactly that. This is a small, simple flashlight project built around experimentation, constraints, and learning. It is intentionally a 0. version, designed to be good enough to exist — and flexible enough to be improved. The front side of the flash...

Welcome — and thanks for stopping by. This blog is a place where ideas turn into real, tangible things. Sometimes that means copper traces and microcontrollers, sometimes aluminium chips on the workshop floor, and sometimes software quietly running on a server somewhere in the background. I’ll be sharing ongoing projects, experiments, successes, failures, and lessons learned along the way — f...
