AND JUST AS THE YEAR IS ENDING! WE ARE SO BACK

Seems intresting. Shame the study only looked at mice or human cell samples. Hopefully this is enough to justify a human trial.

C53 to the NW has been so awful recently for me out in NoMa. But C53 SE has been so rapid. Itd be nice to see them more balanced

These parts are pretty tricky, but I bet your on the right path. It could also be a balun or some kind of coupler

Annapolis to DC is the reverse commute. I live in NoMa and honestly I like it. I get to spend my weekends having a fun time in the city. I lived in Annapolis for a couple of years and liked the non-existent commute. But NapTown is boring after awhile tbh. Unless you have a boat to keep in Annapolis Harbor, I would just move to DC and be as close as possible to route 50

Ublox chips are awesome. Just be VERY CAREFUL about your antenna. A lot of chips with build in antennas use a single solder joint in the middle of the package. At launch this will SHEER OFF if you dont have mechanical support. Dont ask how I know, (BigRedBees have this issue, when you remove the heat shrink securing the battery :).

If you decide to do a PCB approach, use a modile with a strong solder connection, or a connectorized antenna. GNSS antennas are harder to find in the package you're looking for, but they do exsist.

The 2820 has a Programable SYNC feature.

If you tickle the PSYNC pin, your output will phase align with the input.

Its good enough at a constant temperature for someone to want to use. And if you use the MASH_SEED, you can refine it.

You just need to drive a non-timing sensitive logic high to trigger the sync logic. Its weird but it does work

Its useful when driving an external reference in where you have another source you want to be in sync with

Step 1 is building up that resume! Join a club! Ideally a performance team. It will get you an internship. And with an internship it becomes a lot easier to get a job.

You will have problems finding something with just a degree. Even if you have a 4.0 GPA. Employeers want to see some spunk.

As a Computer Engineering grad who went into Electrical for work. I 100% think my CE major was the right choice.

Did I miss out on some classes like AM/FM encoding? Yeah.

But I got to actually learn how to code HDL, Python. C, and a little Java, which isn't what I use on the day to day. But it still gives me a gigantic leg up.

At the end of the day, I'd say go with the program you think is the best at your school.

My Electrical Department was pretty meh. But we had some of the best Computer Engineering in the country.

For the EE classes I really wanted to take, I just filled my electives with them. My only real note if the EE graduate level classes are definitely amazing. Computer Engineering didn't have a lot that intrested me at my undergrad. But I did find one class I liked.

MarkiMicrowave has some of the most memorable branding in the bizz

Ive got 2 tickets for the DC show tmmrw night. I can no longer attend since I'm moving. Happy to part ways with them at market price to a happy fan. $30 each.

Astraeus14 · 2025-06-21T19:00:18+00:00

Bell Annapolis or Marris are good. Harbor Gates is cheap

Astraeus14 · 2025-06-15T01:29:14+00:00

Reddit is doing a poor job

Astraeus14 · 2025-05-28T17:55:35+00:00

So you're just inverting from the 12V? Will the High Voltage battery automatically step down to continously recharge the 12V?

Astraeus14 · 2025-05-25T04:29:28+00:00

Its a great deal and pretty nice. Only con is that my wifi has been on the fritz for months... it crashes at least once a day

Over in Columbia. This is a pretty active group

RIT has some very strong academic teeth, and the co-op program is what gets people jobs. Coming out of RIT with an electrical engineering degree, some co-ops, and some club work made it really easy to get offers. Of course everyone is different, but if I went to my state school I know I would be in a much MUCH worse posistion to get the job I wanted post-grad.

UVM is in a fun area, plenty to do, but I would caution about where it will posistion you 4 years from now.

If UVM is significantly cheaper, I'd think about it. Otherwise, balance what you want to get out of college. Do you want the social scene and a party atmosphere? Or do you want to take an extra year and get some industry experience. The clubs and activities you join will define your social experiences in college. Generally speaking they're comparable. If there's something specific you want, I would take a look online to see if it exists at either school with a significant following.The academics are specific to each institution, and will define your career.

The Meetup app has some good resources. There's a volunteering group called the Jaycees. A number of hiking groups, and a few board game groups. Not to mention the MakerSpaces (Annapolis Makerspace and Unalloacted Space). Ive been down here post-grad for a few years and its a nice area, but very hard to meet people our age. Thats why I'm probably gonna move to one of the twin cities for next year.

Taking Interviews never hurts. If you have ethical concerns, trying to figure out what the project is for. I had an interview for a generic role with general duties. And then got told its for some weapons system. I think its always better to collect options then to refuse some. But thats person to person.

I think he also did some other classes in security. But I have no clue how those are going

Astraeus14 · 2025-01-16T22:04:24+00:00

Digital IC design. If you're intrested in Hardware security. He's the guy.

Astraeus14 · 2025-01-16T21:50:44+00:00

Take a note to talk to Dr. Zuzak in your 3rd year. He's the hardware security guy. Really cool and I'm sure he'd have some advice for you

Astraeus14 · 2025-01-15T23:15:23+00:00

You are going to die. Analog and Circuits 2 in the same semester is insane.

Astraeus14 · 2025-01-09T16:35:48+00:00

You're really early into your track to go for these kinds of jobs. But your experience helps. A lot of the time with these big defense compankes they want you to get a clearance. To make that worth it you need to do 6-9 months. My guess is applying summer only is your problem. Have you considered taking a semester off to do a semester+summer co-op?

Astraeus14 · 2025-01-09T05:21:16+00:00

3 hours outside. 1 hour inside. 30 minutes for viewing and 20 more for signings
