Electronic Friday #2 – The one where we built a Joule Thief

This week’s Electronic Friday was brought forward to Thursday due to the coming Chinese New Year celebration. Despite the traffic jam that clogged Damansara Uptown, and the heat and the stuffiness inside the hardware hacking room in HackerspaceKL (yes, we don’t have air conditioners yet, donations are most welcome), we had a good turnout and everyone stayed till 11pm.
