Comment on Massachusetts Bodged Transistor Authority

Comments

¿ Should it be "Massachusetts Bodged Transit Authority" and not "Massachusetts Bodged Transistor Authority"?

I can't help but think that I am missing a really cool inside joke of some kind here.

I get that it is an electronics project using a piece of transit authority electronic equipment so "transistor" make a ton of sense from that perspective but also get it that it is easy to go "transistor" when you mean "transit" especially if you work a lot with electronics.

Can anyone help me out with a hint ( and not an answer ) if I am indeed missing something key all together.

Either way, both article title and article content are dope.

It’s in the article: “The transistors are backwards.”

I just read it as a nod toward electronics hacking.

Hint: You should read the "Driving the indicator from a microcontroller" section again

THANK YOU!

Makes perfect sense now.

That is a really clever joke.
