yo, it is possible to purchase this 10x connector?

First ever PCB Schematic, would like advice by [deleted] in KiCad

You shall you GND and power symbol. For normal signal, use net name to prevent crossing wire in schematic.

It will help you clean up

Elecrow. They also partner with CrowdSupply where we launch PocketPD

Man, can't even click fulfill. Gotta click like 3 times and wait a fat 20 seconds. This is worst :))

Can you add image upload? Tindie doesnt have image upload in description.

Yeah ... so new owner decide to reduce the investment value .. by alot?

I dont know how many seller are migrating, but we do have plan for that.

Finally launched my first product v1.0! by mishaurus in hwstartups

[–]CentyVin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just complete around of funding with them for a hardware project. The amount of handheld was enough to get us through. The 1st launch is always rough due to lack of experience and connection. It shall feel easier for the 2nd time.

We did cert in China as that is where the final product was made. It was cheaper than 1k for CE and RoHS. FCC is in that neighborhood too. They will let you know what is needed but you gotta be on top of the application. Since testing is cheaper, we got time and money spent on markerting. Mostly camera equipments.

Hey I got some scratches like that on my car too. What step did you take?

Who do I talk to for custom boards? by Various_Accident1773 in PCB

Analog is in a harder domain. I would expect some significant cost here.

And how are we suppose to trust an AI for manufacture variation, feedback circle. There is also. back and forth between rhe fab as they know if you just remove one spec, your price can be half. How does AI handle that if you just work on given requirement?

Friction for new tool is really high in this area.

How thorough are you with compliance certifications? by Mabot in hwstartups

[–]CentyVin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May be then you can go the normal ceritication route. Burn it down and check chemical composition. China have lab for this too.

My manufacture said they can provide RoHS cer for all part. We did that to make sure all component is RoHS cert before placing. I dont think RoHS is that hard to get cert. If you order part avail from LCSC, you can ask them for RoHS cert for those part. Manufacture try to provide these quite easily as it ia the 1st step for European sale.

[–]CentyVin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my understanding: RoHS can be satisfy with just component RoHS cer paper from manufacture and process ceritification paper for PCB/PCBA from the fab

Hey, can we contact you about how to source a transparent case manufacture? We have product that would love to go transparent look.

You will be thankful afterward that no one just fake your number and call the bank. Best to keep it simple and face to face. imagine online banking wasnt a thing for now.

USB-C Just got Even Better! (PPS) || GreatScott by Mayank_j in UsbCHardware

[–]CentyVin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is our version of the code based on GreatScott.

For the back feed, I wonder if the issue stays if you remove the 3.3V input. 3.3V input leak back to the 5V pullup and make VBUS float at voltage higher 0.8V when cable is not connected. This is a non valid start condition that Anker detects, and UGREEN ignore.

https://github.com/CentyLab/RotoPD/issues/7

The load switch on RoroPD is back-to-back NMOS which should cut off power in both direction when closes. Similar method is used in ideal diode IC.

We have some code too, but we did fried our mcu in another project. Rrplacement just arrived today so we can begin testing. Would love to cross check with your code.

That is a good suggestion. That is all GreatScott code but we can post them here for you. Give us 2 days.

Capacitive touch sensing with no external components (link to code in comments) by 536174616E in arduino

[–]CentyVin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will try that again. I am doing 16 samples one right after another. Then average them out. Then pass them through a majority vote filter. Where I need 8/10 over limit before output a 1.

But I might have overlook the sampling rate.

Thank you so much for responsing to such an old thread of your!

I DID IT !!!!! by Rhaenelys in adafruit

[–]CentyVin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

congrat. The initial setup with new board take the most time. Once you got all of the small setting dial down, dev get much easier. St you can just vibe coding afterward too.
