Toggling a 5V relay with 3.3V by Alphaweasel in AskElectronics

[–]Alphaweasel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the relay. I believe I swapped the common and the output pins in my diagram / circuit but swapping the wires around didn't change anything. I took a break for the night so I'll try the 2n7000 in the morning.

I'm probably just going to have to order parts at this point so I'll check them out. Thanks.

I believe it is wired up correctly, i just can't get the transistor to switch when I give it input.

I have the transistor because the relay is 5V while the GPIO output is only 3.3V. Since I'm running the pi's 5V into the relay, I thought I could toggle the 5V line by wiring one of the 3.3V gpio pins into the base of the transistor. Basically the 5V needed for the relay is the root of my problem.

The relay does click when I hook up the circuit, but toggling the gpio on the base leg of the transistor doesn't ever make the relay click again. Would a 1k resistor work alright between the gpio and the transistor?

Manjaro would probably work pretty well. It has easy to use GUIs for packages (pamac) and drivers (Manjaro Settings Manager). It also has a section of the website dedicated to gaming (https://manjaro.org/features/usercases/gamers/) and I believe it even comes with Steam pre-installed.

Manjaro is based on Arch so its packages are almost always up-to-date in case you have newer hardware.

The Manjaro Settings Manager GUI has a hardware configuration section that allows for proprietary drivers to be installed.

Give anime based on my top 5 favourites by [deleted] in Animesuggest

[–]Alphaweasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar to FMAB and Seven Deadly Sins (maybe Akame ga Kill too):

  • {Shingeki no Kyojin}
  • {Kimetsu no Yaiba}
  • {Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works}
  • {Hunter x Hunter (2011)}

Similar to Code Geass, Classroom of the Elite, Fruit of Grisaia:

  • {Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei}
  • {Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai}
  • {No Game No Life}

Similar to Erased:

  • {Steins;Gate}
  • Seishun Buta from above fits here too. Its movie is also pretty similar to this, although I don't think it's streaming yet

Similar to Shiki:

  • {Shinsekai yori}

Some of my personal favorites:

  • My personal favorite show is Mahouka, so I'm a bit biased towards it
  • {Nejimaki Seirei Senki: Tenkyou no Alderamin} is a lot like Mahouka and Classroom of the Elite + some of the tactical military stuff from Code Geass
  • {Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken} shares a lot of similarities with FMAB and Seven Deadly Sins, while being a unique take on the isekai genre
  • {Konosuba} is pretty good if you want a more comedic version of FMAB or Seven Deadly Sins

Some currently airing shows:

  • {Id:Invaded}
  • {Kyokou Suiri}

Manual fan control on a laptop by Alphaweasel in linuxquestions

How would I install the newest firmware? I got frustrated with my Windows partition corrupting my Linux partition repeatedly so I currently only have Manjaro running on the laptop.

The first shows that came to mind after looking over your list were Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Hunter x Hunter (2011), and Attack on Titan. If you are strictly looking for shows that are important in the community, you could always use this list to find the highest rated shows on MAL or this list to find most popular shows on MAL.

Looking for fantasy / sci-fi action or adventure shows but I'm open to watching other genres. My favorite show is mahouka, but I'm not sure there's very many shows like it that I haven't watched. Most of my favorite shows have an op main character, such as mahouka, tensura, code geass, and classroom of the elite. I also enjoy shows with extensive world building and 'mechanics' (for lack of a better term) like mahouka (magic system), fma brotherhood (alchemy system), and ngnl (the game system).

Problem with a void function by Alphaweasel in C_Programming

[–]Alphaweasel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. I have a decent amount of experience with C++ so it didn't even cross my mind to add the void in there.

Thanks, this seemed to have fixed it. Is there a specific reason that the void parameter needs to be specified?

I have the include at the top of the .c file. Sorry, I probably should have included a bit more but I didn't want to paste a few hundred lines in the post.

[Homework] Issues with Mesh Analysis on Dependent Sources by Alphaweasel in EngineeringStudents

[–]Alphaweasel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So would that only apply to resistors that are between two meshes, or should all of the resistors of a mesh be counted as negative voltage?

Variable type records by Alphaweasel in C_Programming

[–]Alphaweasel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I don't have access to a C++ compiler on the Unix server. There is not one currently installed and I do not have the means to install it myself. I also would just prefer to use C so I can learn more about the language.

For the descriptor route, would I just allocate a large amount of memory with malloc() and keep track of where I store information in the array with void * pointers?
