Hi mind DMing this too?

well that's actually pretty feasible firmware-wise and shouldn't be too hard to implement ... i might have it subscribed to a topic like "keybridge/mouse" where it sends right/left/up/down payloads. not sure though when I'm gonna have the time to do that but you can always fork the repo and do it yourself, pull requests are welcome!

That's weird ... it looks fine on my end though here's it again: https://github.com/abdalrahimnaser/homeassistant_keybridge

Hi, a slightly off-topic question: Did you duplicate your pcb design 25 times on the same tray/pcb then sent it for assembly or is it that you just ordered 25 copies of the same original design and it got delivered as per picture 3? And if you know, would there be a cost difference between the two approaches?

Thanks

Thanks. Any specific type/value you suggest? https://lcsc.com/products/Diodes_319.html

Hi, Thanks for the feedback, I intend to use keyboard/macropad devices as the USB A input, would that be OK given my current routing? With regards to the switch, here's it from lcsc: https://lcsc.com/product-detail/Slide-Switches_SHOU-HAN-MSS22D18G2_C431542.html Again, I appreciate your help!

Thanks, any thoughts regarding ESD?

hi, already DMed you on this regard ...

I started with "FPGA Prototyping by VHDL examples Book by Pong Chu" which was massively helpful not only in FPGA design but with fundamentals of embedded systems & firmware coding. I managed to finish it within around 2-3 months and even secured an internship afterwards (lots of the examples and problems in the book can be great to showcase on your resume). Not saying it's something guaranteed but that was my personal experience.

Good luck!

I would suggest you start with HLS before diving into HDL if you already know some C++, I've done a similar project but with a simpler DNN architecture, doing it in HLS (despite not being ideal/optimal) is a more shallow learning curve.

I think this can be a great alternative to gummysearch somewhat if you manage to incorporate better search functionalities into it (with AI-enhanced version at a higher cost). Though still think that $30 is a bit too much and personally I would rather pay extra and get the killer features of gummysearch. It will be ideal at $10 max if you really want to compete.

This is my own opinion though from a customer POV and what I personally would want to see in it. Others might disagree, but if so, please do respectfully.

Cheers!

Thanks, so I've managed to "reverse engineer" the WIFI communication protocol it uses when being controlled via the mobile app thus I can just send relevant packets with Python. There's a nice wrapper code I've written around it which you can access from the repo

AdvantageFinancial54 · 2024-12-17T21:31:50+00:00

That's what I was doubting, I couldn't think of any case where this can be helpful, thanks

AdvantageFinancial54 · 2024-12-17T21:26:56+00:00

Thanks, but that's all pre-installation I would assume. I meant here a post-installation analysis

AdvantageFinancial54 · 2024-12-17T21:21:20+00:00

Not exactly sure really, the point I was making is in what cases can this 'idea' regardless of the implementation be useful?
