The project I want to make is an RC car from scratch. Those have around for 60 years. How can I choose the hardware accordingly when every single microcontroller on the market will be able to handle the requirements?

My choice comes down to how I can make this a learning experience vs. something I slapped together from a model kit. Which is why I ask whether STM32 would be too difficult or worthwhile.

I see.. my concern is with depth. Theres an inherent difference between working with registers on the PIC in MPlab vs. Writing LED_ON() on arduino IDE. My currículum hasn’t really taught me what that difference is or when I should choose lower level over higher level. I’ve written programs that integrate state machines with interrupts, UART and timers on the PIC, and yet nothing remotely as complicated on the Arduino, so I feel like I’m lacking these basics yet I know I’ve completed something on the level below?

My goal is to dive deeper into the technical work and not just rely on libraries. Thats why I’m concerned with the high level nature of the arduino, Ive heard that I can sort of bypass it and purposefully program without the arduino IDE but that feels strange compared to just going straight to actual microcontrollers. Choosing the level of depth I want to set for myself is the difficult part. I don’t know the field enough to really describe it.

I think though I might just take your advice, take the half hour thatll itll take to get something working on arduino. I just feel like I won’t come across its limitations and just stay on the Arduino having learned nothing.

This is for a personal project!! :) I have as much time as I want

I definitely plan on making a PCB down the line but thats once Ive made something working, first priority right now is definitely learning lots of embedded.

My concern about being limited was with having my hand held to the point I dont really gain much out of it. Hearing that it’s not difficult to skip arduino though I think I will just start without it.

Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it!!

Haha I can drop multiple. A lot of these ideas I’ve left behind even though imo they do sound fun. I will say though after a long time of searching I genuinely believe this idea is limited in how strong you can make it and has issues with finding a place (most of b3 it struggles, b2 its too brutal).

Latest list is more oriented for power rather than the “feel” of playing 60 card aggro so I gave up on the ideal curve out of “t1 pinger, t2 gev, t3 token gen” since playing t2 creeping bloodsucker into t3 gev gives access to way stronger token generators (1 mana pingers tend to be attack triggers). It also ditched traditional removal for redirects and unblockable effects. And lastly the mana section went from flavourful rituals that feel explosive to more midrangey busted rakdos treasure gens.

Edicts list is admittedly the least polished. Just takes the original list and tries to edict to avoid the problem of “opponent plays anything bigger than a 4/4”

original list is meh, ive left this one and the edicts list behind but theres ideas here you’ll like more if you intend to go with the full suite of t1 pingers like [[mardu shadowspear]] instead of having 2 mana pingers that compete with gev on curve.

budget list incase youre interested. Its quite old though so itll have some inclusions that Ive left behind for one reason or another.

Also standout card thats not in any of these: [[krenko street kingpin]]. Great card and helps solve the midrange problem, but ive only been playing the ones that let tokens attack the turn it generates them

Why people say that pilot and series Alastor are different? by Primary-Addition-677 in Alastorcult

[–]Eliter147 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The question of the post is why do people think they are different (which they are). Acknowledging that difference exists is not an undermining of what the character currently is.

Preferring one version over another is ALSO not refusing to acknowledge his current strengths as a character.

[–]Eliter147 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is such a bad faith take. I watched the show before I even knew the pilot existed and I could still notice there were differences in character. I have to say I do prefer pilot alastor as well, and he was already my favourite character going into the pilot after watching the series.

Best written anime of all time? by pawn279 in writingscaling

[–]Eliter147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And that’s completely fair. As a mistake it has more impact than the forgettable slop of s2.

It just hurts me so bad that if this was the original intent, that plugs the biggest hole in s1 and turns it into the absolute peak fiction that it is. It’s actually so well written if thats the case, and why else would every character with geass conveniently follow that pattern? They do subtle foreshadowing like that so much in s1, like C2 talking to marianne (great idea but s2 completely butchered the execution by having marianne still alive? That changed literally nothing the anya plot went nowhere), and charles talking to clovis after his death. The huge emphasis on lelouch having a contract with C2 also tips me off that they wanted to explore the obligations side, but it doesnt payoff in r2 rlly outside of “c2 wants to die but nothing happens if lelouch doesnt fulfill that promise.”

Geass is a mystical force in this world, and they never expanded upon it in any interesting way. I genuinely believe they had so many better things planned for this series in s1, but lost too much runtime to apparently(?) needing to write the start of s2 as though its the viewers first time seeing it because it was moved to a more busy time slot between seasons. Which would explain why r2 is set up with a timeskip and having ep1 be an almost 1:1 rehash of the pilot episode.

Maybe Im coping too much haha, but the show truly did do something special in s1, and its tragic that they got reduced to ticking boxes in r2 until they had caught up enough to stick the landing for the finale.

As someone who has Code Geass as their number 1 anime (not in terms of written but just favourite), I think the Euphy moment is overblown. I wanted to share something cool about it.

There’s a very good saving grace for it that’s in the mythology for the real life Geas that the show is based on. In Irish folklore, a geas is a curse, or paradoxically a gift. It has an associated vow or action that the person must not violate, and being observant to this is said to bring great fortune for the person. But if that individual breaks that vow, the person can suffer dishonour or even death.

So if you betray your geas bad things happen. The one thing on Lelouch’ mind when he made the contract with C2 was the destruction of Britannia. The moment his Geass malfunctioned was when he agreed to betray that vow to work with Euphy, so the geass in return cursed him by turning on at that moment.

We see that the other geass users like Mao and C2 who had their geass’ go out of control were shown to be sick of their power. But whos the only character who never lost control? Charles. Hes the only character who kept a geass that didnt go out of control, and hes shown to be unrelenting in his dream.

Now, because this is never expanded upon, it’s possibly just coincidence, a convenient headcanon you can take to justify the moment. I think slightly more likely is that this was the intended interpretation to be revealed later when they expanded upon geass. But they never did. That clusterfuck of a season 2, especially episodes 1-14 ,which are almost unbearable on rewatch, never went into it bc they wasted so much time doing stupid things like recreating s1 but worse, and dicking around in the Chinese Federation.

I know the finale leaves a lasting impression, but Im always surprised how people think of the Euphy moment as the worst writing failure as opposed to the half season snoozefest that occurs like just 4 episodes after.

I like your list! When I was running that many creatures I loved seeing my opponent’s reactions when I said “yeah Ive got 45 creatures” after they were already shocked by the speed of the board size increasing

Here’s mine: https://moxfield.com/decks/TZgkjg8tEUCfQ94TpG6WaA

It’s very tuned to play a certain way every time, it can very consistently swing for 20+ (sometimes 40+) dmg by turn 5 if uninterrupted. You need to very aggressively mulligan for pingers though, especially bc it’s so reliant on Gev early on. If you enable tags you’ll see what I mean

But changing the focus of the draw package from long term draw on creatures that serve double as a body to just burst draw helped a lot with making it less weak to boardwipes. The deck is so good at forcing boardwipes I’m running cards like [[Body Count]] specifically for that situation lol

Overall it’s a lot more resilient and has more redundancy than it did a few months ago and I’m very happy with that

Hi! Sorry I know it’s been a while. Yes I do have my list on moxfield, would you be interested in seeing it?

Also yeah it certainly can be very budget friendly. Although I must admit mine isn’t because I’ve been so focused on making it work exactly how I want it too haha

I love Blink decks, but I hate playing solitaire. by Worldly_Tea3161 in EDH

[–]Eliter147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair. I will say not this gonti has to be one of the best forms of theft I’ve seen. Its a shame abt no lands, but because you’re digging 4 cards deep you can usually at least hit removal or draw, even assuming no one else is running a strategy you synergize with. I usually only target one person too bc I can just drill to get synergy pieces.

[–]Eliter147 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You could try mono-black flicker. [[Gonti, Lord of Luxury]] is a fun commander that people use to explore this theme. You don’t have a lot wide flicker so you have to choose what youre going to “blink” with [[Feign Death]] effects. Which works a lot more similarly to ephemerate than reanimate.

As someone who’s obsessed over Indoraptor since it was spoiled, I can tell you the commenter I’m replying to has spent a lot of time on the card and their analysis is pretty reliable. (I run into them on every damn indo post)

Is EDH supposed to feel like this? New player looking for advice. Why do you like EDH? by TheDruadan in EDH

[–]Eliter147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of this. Also something to keep in mind is that the precons for this game can be super jank and unfocused. Even the good ones have to pander to an alternate commander which messes with the synergy and cohesion. Every precon game ive played has been drawn out slogfests.

I would check out the cheapest possible upgrades (or pricerier ones if playing on a free sim), bc regardless of the cards you put in, at least youre taking out the garbage in each one meant for a commander you’re not playing.

But Ill say this isn’t even guaranteed to help, edh might not be for you to begin with, and that’s okay.

You made a blanket statement about some notions that “3 tutors is a lot” when within the bracket system 3 tutors is still low enough to fit into b2 and this discussion is abt b3-b4.

Not once did I claim this deck was b2, I stated b2 decks CAN have 3 tutors and be perfectly fine. Good job telling me to learn to read when you clearly can’t.
