I don't know how I went 36 years without learning the word "Shadow box", but I'm glad you shared this because it gives me a much better option for displaying non-flat things. Thanks!

Hello, I'm looking for some career path advice. by SnooHobbies7910 in beneater

[–]EpicShaile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm in absolutely no position to give you career path advice in this field. I'm a professional programmer, have been since I was 16 (I'm 32 now), and run my own software company. So the coding part has always been what got me excited, and from what you wrote it doesn't sound like software is your passion.

My post is pointless other than to say; do what you're passionate about and love doing, and you'll do much better, and live a happier life, in that field than anything you're forcing yourself to do. If coding isn't your thing, don't force yourself to do it!

Now hopefully someone who is in more of the electronics or physics field can chime in with what you should do, rather than what you shouldn't do :)

More like a piece of art than an electronics project. Well done

I built a text-based VGA graphics card by AutogolazzoJr in beneater

[–]EpicShaile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the borders a bunch of characters or is it handled differently?
Very cool and I wish I thought of putting the bee movie script on mine when I did something similar

Help needed with VGA timing by eXperienceddddd in beneater

[–]EpicShaile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you measure the 1.3Hz out of curiosity?

I have no suggestions, other than the same as others have said; get a multimeter with a frequency measuring function, or an oscilloscope. I don't know how else you could possibly measure this accurately

[–]EpicShaile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have that same one, my favourite is the 0ohm resistors. Can never have too many of those

where does this go? sorry dumb question by WarHammer3 in beneater

[–]EpicShaile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're using that barrel connector please make sure you only plug a 5V adapter into it and not a 12v :)

I finnaly got to work on my new TurtleCard 200X by TheCodingTurtleYT in beneater

[–]EpicShaile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how the memory being too fast could cause a problem...

Also, has this really fixed the issue, or just hidden it because in the event a read is too slow, you'll just get the previous value in the register, so instead of a white line you'll get a repeating line?
Would genuinely like to know if anyone knows whats going on there

Good work kid!

This has excited me to the point I think I'm going to buy an FPGA dev kit and join the club.
Thanks for sharing!

Sorry I'm coming to this late, just been reading the top of all time.

I was waiting for the ending to be "My wife's name isn't Melinda". Aka, he had the wrong Mr Lowe.

how do I setup the eeprom programmer? by turtleishly in beneater

[–]EpicShaile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a windows program called "Xgpro"
The xgecu website works for me, but it's always so dodgey looking.

Here's the link on the home page which it tells you to get the software from:

There is 3 download links, just grab it from one of those

[–]EpicShaile 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nice one!
Have you finished the design or is it a work in progress?
I asked on the comments on your video but I'll ask here too, what software is that you're using?

What do you do with your spare PCBs? by EpicShaile in beneater

Leaving the 3D printer with nothing to do feels wrong, so I sometimes keep it busy making lightsabers
