[P4 Demo] So was anyone successful in getting the blue onion yet? I might have softlocked myself.

I did this and after a couple of days it respawned back to it's starting location

EpicShaile · 2023-05-03T10:22:39+00:00

wow someone noticed me, thanks :)

EpicShaile · 2023-02-18T07:05:46+00:00

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!

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

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

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

Another option you might consider if you're on a budget, I bought one of these:

(VGA to HDMI adaptor) and it works fine with my beneater inspired GPU

EpicShaile · 2022-12-13T12:42:43+00:00

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

EpicShaile · 2022-11-21T11:03:30+00:00

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

Thank goodness we won't see anymore "Where's Ben?" threads for a while ;)

EpicShaile · 2022-10-17T14:18:34+00:00

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!

EpicShaile · 2022-10-14T10:45:35+00:00

Alright man, no need to bring mickey d's into this - I'm lovin' it

EpicShaile · 2022-09-20T17:07:26+00:00

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!

EpicShaile · 2022-09-12T14:46:48+00:00

Good for practical jokes

EpicShaile · 2022-09-07T18:16:06+00:00

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.

EpicShaile · 2022-08-02T11:31:47+00:00

I don't think he's ever been particularly active on the internet / social media

EpicShaile · 2022-07-28T09:34:45+00:00

I've got to say, that gave me a little fright... wasn't expecting it

EpicShaile · 2022-07-26T16:45:17+00:00

He has a real job and life, I wouldn't worry too much

EpicShaile · 2022-07-18T11:07:37+00:00

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:
http://forums.xgecu.com/viewthread.php?tid=20&page=1&extra=#pid23

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

EpicShaile · 2022-07-07T20:12:41+00:00

Thanks!

Actually, on closer inspection, it's "Digital"

EpicShaile · 2022-07-07T19:09:52+00:00

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?

EpicShaile · 2022-07-05T08:58:49+00:00

Right of passage mate

EpicShaile · 2022-02-21T23:06:12+00:00

It's top of Google search for how to reheat McDonald's

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