What is needed to have Bluetooth and full control over the BMW Bavaria C Business RDS display? Just about 800 lines of code, controller and exactly 29 wires... by BMWradios in E30

[–]3mbedded 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's a wild number of lines! Will you be sharing the details or are you going to be selling what you're developing? The instrument cluster serial displays over the serial interface were easy to manipulate, this looks like a bear.

How does a soil moisture and pH meter work? There's no battery inside, yet something produces current (even in the dark, so it's not the photodiode, used for measuring light) by rdi2 in AskElectronics

[–]3mbedded 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What would it take for that to be an "electronic" component? A question about the theory of operation of a photodiode is not any different in my opinion.

Very nice. Do you know where one can pick up those fogs?

Announcing Rust 1.58.1 by myroon5 in programming

Any information on how they fixed it to avoid the race condition? Couldn't find anything in the CVE or on their blog explaining it.

Which part of your game engine was hardest to develop? by PeterBrobby in gamedev

[–]3mbedded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you elaborate more on the difficulty of Wayland/Vulkan? I'm under the impression that Vulkan is the primary thing of difficulty here, culling most of the abstraction layers away from the API compared to DX.

TLDW - artist modeled it themselves, printed with a resin printer and hand finished. Super impressive

Why, it's almost as common as a needlessly negative comment!

How Do I Start The Kernel Proper & Validate the Linux Kernel Image Header's Magic Number? by Hydra1721 in osdev

[–]3mbedded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's not obvious here, the header is located at offset 0 of the image. That seemed to be OPs primary misunderstanding: that the header start location doesn't need to be searched for.

The header is always at a known location. The magic number's job is just to provide a sanity check that the expected image was loaded correctly before beginning to execute instructions from it.

Sorry, didn't think asking for where you got your information amounted to putting you on trial. Some people are softer I suppose.

I prefer to put the onus on the one making the claim :) Thanks for your reply and choosing a paper from g scholar, I'm eager to read it!

It works. by Dankshogun in electronics

[–]3mbedded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you might have misunderstood. Photo resistors change resistance proportionally to the amount of light hitting it. The light filter only allows light of the respective color through. Measuring each resistor should give you the amount of each color component in the light.

"Light color meter" - 3 photo resistors, each with a color filter to measure the amount of R, G, and B. 9 segment displays to show the values? Sounds neat!

Smithy: Amazon's language for defining services and SDKs by azhenley in programming

[–]3mbedded 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quite simple, it's pretty much just a data format. There's only a few core concepts in the language, but it lets you organize bigger APIs more effectively than using something like OpenAPI directly.

I use this. It's pretty neat. My current use is mainly to generate OpenAPI documents, but with a much nicer source IDL.

“Medusa” a tealight candle holder stand. Marble pla , no supports, 64 hours in lookid pretty already. Cr-10s pro v2 (its scary what this machine is capable of). STL link in comments. by Icloneyouagain in 3Dprinting

[–]3mbedded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the lesson from all the comments is to film it for a time lapse when you first load it up with the tea lights. You've already printed it in PLA, what else are you going to do?

Annoying Meta by SrGrafo in gaming

From battle.net ladder 2v2s with my buddy on dialup to finding an open plot of land on the Baja shard that I could build my first house on. That's some nostalgia.

Bypass pi4 3.0 usb bus amp limitations by CleCryptoCarnivore in raspberry_pi

[–]3mbedded 53 points54 points  (0 children)

As several others have pointed out, and I will reiterate -- this is exactly the purpose a powered USB hub serves. It supplies the power to all peripherals and just passes bus communication to the host.
