What an internship at SparkFun is like, the projects I've been up to, and the lessons learned so far.
Reverse engineering a $30 MaKey MaKey derivative with good intentions (but no attribution)
We tore apart a Neato Robotics XV-11 robotic vacuum cleaner and did a little reverse engineering.
ON Semiconductor lets us know that the fake ATmega328s are actually NCP5318 buck regulators for Intel processors.
We unleash the professionals at Atmel to inspect the insides of our defunct ATmega328s. We found ON Semi written inside. Tim gives us a tour of the Failure Analysis labs at Atmel, Colorado Springs campus.
A SparkFun customer and a a local dentist investigate the ATMega328 "slugs" - with interesting findings.
SparkFun gets counterfeit parts, buys nitric acid and a microscope, finds lack of silicon.
