Power & batteries for makers

Five parts on the half of every project that gets debugged last — regulators, buck/boost, Li-ion charging, current budgets and brownouts that look like bugs.

A startling share of "the code randomly resets" reports are power problems wearing a firmware costume. This track covers current budgeting, linear vs switching regulators, TP4056-style Li-ion charging, and how to measure what your build actually draws instead of guessing from a datasheet.
