Wood's Metal (toxic but cheap) and Field's Metal (not toxic, but more expensive) can be used as an alternative to ChipQuik. Also look into Rose's metal... Wikipedia lists Cerrosafe as differnt to Wood's metal but youtuber called it the same thing.

DSO138

r2 ../src/firmware-src/libdso138.a -b16 -aarm -AA

"Supports two types of TFT controllers (ILI9341 and ILI9325/9328)."
Mine is a ILI9341...
CPU is: STM32F103C8. Does not support DFU (usb bootloader).

LM1117t Pins - Gnd Out In

FT232 with Transistor Pin out parent CJS - Does this need pull ups/downs?

Pins:

EN - Always must be high.
GPIO15 - Always must be low (Unless booting from SD card...).
RST - Normally high? It's getting pulled down by UART... Maybe it's a Schmidt trigger... Seems to bootloop forever when pulled low, but only after the FTDI activates it. FTDI Pulls it low then high.
GPIO0 - Boot Pin. High when normal. Low for bootloader.

On pulling resistors "A 2K resistor gives better noise immunity."

"esptool uses the RTS and DTR modem status lines to automatically enter the bootloader. Connect RTS to CH_PD (which is used as active-low reset) and DTR to GPIO0."

INA219 - INA219 26-V, Bidirectional, Zero-Drift, High-Side, I2C Out Current/Power Monitor - Breakout boards are like $4 on ebay.
INA226 - 36-V, Bi-Directional, Ultra-High Accuracy, Low-/High-Side, I2C Out Current/Power Monitor w/ Alert. - Boards are like $8 on ebay.
INA333 -

INA333 Micro-Power (50μA), Zerø-Drift, Rail-to-Rail Out Instrumentation Amplifier. Listed on ebay for $6, but other listing are $216 o_O, $35 and $13. Seems there is a huge range...

Capacitors

This info on LM1117 capacitors....

The minimum output capacitance required by the LM1117 is 10µF...
The ESR of the output capacitor should range between 0.3Ω - 22Ω.
The ESR of the output capacitor should be less than 0.5Ω.
Tantalums were specified because Electrolytic can have their ESR increase up to 30x on very low temps.

I have:

Polyester Film (YELLOW) - 1nF->470nF @ 100 Volts
Polyester Film (Green) - 1nF->68nF @ 630 Volts
CBB Polypropylene Metal Film (Brown & Blue) - 1nF->2200nF @ 630 Volts
0402 SMD Ceramic - 1pF->0.033uF @ 50 Volts
0805 SMD Ceramic - 1pF-22uF (ON ORDER).
SMD Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor Assorted - 1uF-220uF (Various voltages, 16-63)
Ceramic Capacitors - 3p->100nf
Plastic + Copper Electrolytic Capacitors - 1uF->470uF (Some says ESR is low...)

Maybe get some non-SMD MLCCs? Tantalums?

PCB Etching

Better then Ferric Chloride - Hydrochloric Acid (Muriatic Acid) - ~31.45%, %10 might be ok too... hydrogen peroxide, 3%... Also need Acetone for removing stuff afterwards...
hydrogen-peroxide, vinegar & salt
Make Ferric Chloride - Make Ferric Chloride from Iron (old rusty nails) 100mL of water and 100mL of 12M hydrochloric acid. Once the ferrous chloride solution is made it needs to be oxidized to ferric chloride. The fast way of doing this is to add 200mL of 3% hydrogen peroxide.
Marker and Saltwater - Inverse boards. Remove only the bit's you don't want connected...
