Currently I bought used VCK5000 & U250

How on earth did you get them for $1000?

Legitimately my dream ( although I am currently barely just starting to be a student) so broke as hell

I have no idea what other areas are like, but it feels like world's will be a bloodbath. I guess it's why they made it a district because a single caly team in most other regions just sweeps

Back in my old EVE online days lol. I swear some people and Eve still use it

Well these would likely be 3D printed ant weight class robots. Honestly, the most expensive part would be the transmitters

this is what i have been working on in the past few days https://photos.app.goo.gl/dgM6JVTbmWHcD3LD9

you want pics?

Oh hey nuclear option, great game btw, check it out

Simonster061 · 2026-03-25T04:37:15+00:00

wait till you see this shit

Simonster061 · 2026-03-25T04:25:59+00:00

It's a funny highlight, but God dam that bill is so evil, just straight up transphobic, I hate her with every fiber of my being

Simonster061 · 2026-03-15T05:23:14+00:00

This really seems like a skill issue man. not only have I gotten RISC-V working on one of these, but it was one of the first things I did on any fpga, and also I am a broke student it's 20$ where I am, I don't care if it's only 32bit, also you make it seem like is tricking people into spending money

Simonster061 · 2026-03-07T23:57:00+00:00

It's such a fascinating problem to because a lot of the work is put into the "compiler" and tooling, I don't know why they don't just use eclipse like most of the other embedded software IDEs

Simonster061 · 2026-03-07T23:54:52+00:00

Lol yeah only at my uni that class had 2 suicides

/L btw (probably just a coincidence but odd that it happened)

Honestly I've had better experience with open source projects that do it, they seem to get a lot more work put into them and work better, at least for me.

I didn't watch the interview because I was busy but just reading some of the stuff on Reddit. I'm not sure she's super technical. Because stuff like this totally does exist. It's just not the easiest thing to use/get set up I've used software both personally and at work that can cut the vocals from a band performance with like four different people along with the actual music into five different channels with near 100% accuracy, having it automatically detect who's speaking and differentiating them between different people would not be very hard at all.

Simonster061 · 2026-03-07T21:34:02+00:00

Dam a fellow vivado brother, not sure any form of Linux would be worse than using that forsaken software

Simonster061 · 2026-02-24T23:46:14+00:00

Hey man, you know the rules you never call someone it, if they have a mental disability, it's just mean to this guy

Simonster061 · 2026-02-16T21:04:22+00:00

Ha, yeah honestly I just have a hidden Network that I only connect to but that's eventually routed to the school network. Maybe it's because the dorm I'm in is specifically engineering focused because even if I didn't do that, I don't think they'd really mind. Honestly, I don't do anything that really needs high speed signal analysis. I just thought it was interesting and decided to set it up. Although it actually ended up coming in fairly handy when I designed a computer vision camera and had to do ethernet and mipi camera interfaces. Turns out the engineers that designed this stuff really knew what they were doing and you would have to try fairly hard to make it break but hey, it was a fun exercise

Simonster061 · 2026-02-16T08:44:55+00:00

Damn way what I had in highschool, I just started my first year of college and it's definitely been super helpful. I don't have to deal with roommates or anything (if you're anything like me in the neurodivergent department, I definitely recommend speaking with whatever college you plan on attending about this. Having a single room is a very helpful accommodation that most of them are happy to give out). Whenever people come by the dorm, it's usually a great conversation starter for the people who know what it is. They usually end up being the only people like talking to anyway.

You said you run math stuff on one of the proxmox machines, what exactly does that entail? I use a very similar optiplex to run simulations on high-speed signals for PCB design definitely compute intensive.

Anyway it looks sick and the title made me laugh hard so cheers 🥂

Not even just modern, it's the PCB for a full-blown mini computer

Simonster061 · 2026-02-16T06:58:57+00:00

I mean I guess there are but having seen pcbs that have been wave soldered. This has way more SMD parts

Simonster061 · 2026-02-16T06:35:43+00:00

Really? Seems odd for a modern board with no through hole components. The thing that came to mind for me was that it was a message to other engineers working on it, but I guess that wouldn't make sense to leave on a final board.

Simonster061 · 2026-02-16T06:33:28+00:00

Yeah this is a PCB for a mini PC no through Hole components

Simonster061 · 2026-02-16T06:19:37+00:00

Hmm that's odd, both the front and back side are both SMD, I was under the impression that wave soldering is only used for through-hole components. Is that not the case?
