I don't know so much about EGS, but probably some of the following (most of which I don't use very often, I hope I recall correctly)
Freecad is getting more and more attention. When version 1.0 releases (soon), it will be something worth checking out, but there is still work to do.
It depends on the use cases. I don't like how this post makes it look like the "Linux" alternatives are drop in, one-to-one replacement. Inkscape has been immensely useful to me, but for professional work, it might not be a reasonable replacement.
What do you mean exactly by organic maps editing tools? I was using organic maps before to add businesses, but now StreetComplete can also do that (and more!). I sometimes use Vespucci because it is very powerful, but it's a bit of a pain to use.
Actually, a least some cars (probably more than you think)/have some sort of "emergency" breaking signal, which often result in the usual breaking signal blinking for a while. You need to seriously slam the brakes to see it though. E.g: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j_osu1WgGMU
There is also a nice technology connection video talking about braking lights for electric cars and in general, which can be dangerous.
It was always under my nose, but I never realised it was there. Thanks for the tip!
As a first step, I would recommend checking out osm.org from a computer. Once logged in you can use it as an editor straight from the browser. The embedded documentation really helped me initially.
Nice! Could you explain what it is or where to find more information about it? I was not able to find information online
I did not know about this mounting method. Probably it's a way to improve passive cooling capabilities?
We are working towards having a product properly packaged. This is a prototype that is not mature enough yet to justify the cost/time to package it. Moreover, this custom chip is used to measure ultra low currents (down to femto amps), so any packaging could potentially interfere with the measurement capabilities (-> no epoxy). It is however protected by a large shielding box, but it's no use during assembly/modifications :/
The little gray wires should be all nice and straight. Even though your chip may be a good boi, touching it will wreak havoc on the wire bonding. Repairing the damage shown on the picture takes a skilled worker and very expensive equipment. Even then the repair is not fully guaranteed to be successful.
Looks great!
If your are looking for pur aesthetics, I would recommend trimming the resistors/leds, and bending their leads before putting them on.
If you'd like some inspiration this guy has some of the best looking hand crafted electronics I've ever seen.
