Clem builds a custom ESD detector to identify electrostatic discharge events that can interfere with electronic circuits and cause unexpected glitches. Based on a proven design by Charles Wenzel, the detector outputs a logic-safe pulse that can trigger test equipment like oscilloscopes, helping correlate ESD with system faults. The video covers circuit design, case integration using EMI-shielded enclosures, and real-world testing scenarios. Download the design files and see how you can build your own low-cost debugging tool! bit.ly/43JS1hP
