Very interesting to see them all arrayed out in cases and seeing the variety of sizes and form factors available beyond the usual 18650. | + | We headed right and came across a vendor with every conceivable lithium battery shape, size, and chemistry.

| This was, as they said, an AI-powered machine. So not only was it looking for damage or issues with component placement but was also trained to learn from previous boards to know other situations. They were explaining that the general idea was that customers would share their trained data with other customers. But this was not a popular feature. And so the machines instead come pre-loaded with training data. That was a incredible machine to watch. | This was, as they said, an AI-powered machine.

| Wurth were there. I've known them for their quality capacitors but they sell all kinds of top notch components which I've bought through other online sellers like RS Electronics (who weren't there). I didn't realise that Wurth have an Australian branch and [[https://www.we-online.com/en/components/products|online store]]. According to the booth staff, they sell to both company and independents alike. Delivery times are apparently through them and prices cheaper than via a third party seller. I found that going through their site didn't appear to be a very straight-forward process like other online vendors. | Wurth were there.

| - | [[au.element14.com|element14]] were there, pleased to see them at the show. I do buy from element14 (or RS depending) for when I don't want to take the risk on quality. For everything else, AliExpress is my go-to. Though element14 delivery times seems to be getting slower these days. I ordered from them a month ago and at the time of writing it's still crawling it's way across the globe. | + | [[https://au.element14.com|element14]] were there, pleased to see them at the show.

If I recall the products, I'll link them here. |
| [[https://www.microchip.com|Microchip]] were there. I am a big fan of Microchip's PIC microprocessors, and still use them in projects today. On display were some fun projects like the robot hand that watched and followed your hand movements. They also had some of their [[https://www.microchip.com/en-us/tools-resources/evaluation-boards/curiosity-nano|Curiosity Nano development boards]] on display. We had a great time talking to those guys. | [[https://www.microchip.com|Microchip]] were there. I am a big fan of Microchip's PIC microprocessors, and still use them in projects today.
