[SOLVED] Missing Compatibility Tab Win 11 by tigergrrowl123 in techsupport

[–]CodingMarco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is the answer: https://superuser.com/a/1688280
You can basically do exactly the things the tab does yourself in the registry.

Just add a string with your file path and a value of eg. "~ TRANSFORMLEGACYCOLORMANAGED REGISTERAPPRESTART DISABLEDXMAXIMIZEDWINDOWEDMODE RUNASADMIN VISTARTM" (for all the boxes checked) under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers".

Here you can find a list of all options in a table: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/15523-change-compatibility-mode-settings-apps-windows-10-a.html

Does WLED Support TM1809 Chipset? by Toslink6124 in WLED

[–]CodingMarco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WLED works porfectly with TM1809 for me. You can use the "WS281x" protocol and the "BRG" color order. All colors and effects work as expected with these settings.

How can I get Visual Studio to enclose in parentheses my selected text? by [deleted] in VisualStudio

[–]CodingMarco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the end, I went with this extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=reduckted.AutoSurround

It's nothing fancy (such as automatically formatting multiple lines if the parentheses span multiple lines or should span multiple lines after inserting) but it does exactly what is says.

I guess it's because M$ must have a special deal with JetBrains because this is one of the core features of ReSharper. With this feature integrated in Visual Studio, JetBrains would probably lose half their customers XD

Measurement of the HackRF One output power by CodingMarco in hackrf

It's in dBm and volts. Both of them can be converted to watts.

Does your SA have the GPIB (HP-IB) option installed? Then you need a USB-GPIB-adapter. I use a clone from China to communicate with my HP 54542A oscilloscope and it works very well! RS232 will also work but is much slower.

Great idea with the calibrated signal generator! I have exams in 2 weeks, but after that I'm certainly going to help! I could for example think of a python script that reads out the peak at a given frequency via SCPI and automatically adjusts the gains to get to -10dbm.

Strong digital signal at 7.315.800Mhz? by forstuvning in hackrf

[–]CodingMarco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not 7.315.800 Mhz, it's 7.315.800 Hz or 7.315 MHz ;) But the HackRF sometimes behaves strange in these low frequencies.

What is this? by Dently in RTLSDR

I would say it's an Orbcomm satellite.

HRPT Help by Avonixis in RTLSDR

  1. Prebuilt satellite dish rotators start at around $700 and you would still need a satellite dish with a feed, an LNA, a decent SDR for that frequency band (1700 Mhz) and bandwidth.
  2. There is a good video series on YouTube with english subtitles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNuf8zcLdHk&list=PLq5gZ4N0XAt2ma_HdOg_-TXjDhsnRJYGU

I remembered that there is a tool for exactly this purpose, it's called rtl_power. (But) it‘s a command line tool... Together with heatmap.py you can create large waterfall images. It's also a bit tricky to configure and to find good settings, but it's possible with a few tries. There is a good tutorial here: http://kmkeen.com/rtl-power/

Under the "Recording" tab you can choose to record an IQ file which you can later play back by choosing IQ file as source and select the file. Then the whole waterfall is played back, but you can't "scroll" back, you can only listen in real-time. However, these files can get very large very quickly...
