Automate That Halloween Treating

A cardboard monster head dispenses Halloween candy when you press its nose. An ESP32 runs the show, dispensing candy via a stepper motor with a finger wheel. An IR break beam detects when candy is dispensed, triggering flashing lights and sounds. The project's code is shared in a GitHub repository.

Saving A Vintage High-Voltage Power Supply From The Scrap Heap

A Fluke Model 407 high-voltage power supply gets rescued from the scrap heap and diagnosed on video. Mr Carlson powers it up safely using an isolated transformer and a current-limited variac, avoiding the risk of full power on old components. The vacuum-tube-and-circuit-board unit shows no visible damage but its output misbehaves. Using the original schematics, he traces the fault to a single faulty capacitor in the feedback loop that keeps output voltage constant.
