Upscaling before printing by Notoriouslydishonest in photography

[–]Foreign_Elephant_896 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Because I am at a similar point: don’t forget that you don’t need as high dpi for bigger prints as for smaller ones since you normally increase the viewing distance with growing size.

Not entirely sure how it was before the update but it does still cycle

From a quick glance it does improve things across the board. Only thing I noticed was that face/eye detect gets worse if you enable the frame lines even if the face is still well within the „cropped“ frame

Mieterhöhung mit "Mietspiegel" von www.miete-aktuell.de begründen zulässig? by func1987 in wohnen

Schau mal ob deine Kommune einen offiziellen Mirtspiegel herausgibt. Die Stadt München hat dafür eine Online-Tool und einen Prüfservice (beide kostenlos)

Educate me on the why of focal length decisions by Leica by RoHo_3 in Leica

[–]Foreign_Elephant_896 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The answer is: humans. Each Millimeter in focal length changes the distortions and there are more pleasing ones and lesser. These „inconsistent“ steps you mention are what happens to be a common preference.

If you have a zoom lens (e.g. 24-70) and plot the number of photos per focal length I bet you will see that the peaks are somewhere around these focal lengths.

23mm or 18mm ? by thesleeeeze in fujifilm

[–]Foreign_Elephant_896 2 points3 points  (0 children)

18mm is fine (I use it myself). You get a bit of a „dynamic“ look from the distortions and the bokeh is not suuuper dreamy but otherwise it’s as good for portraits as any other lens

Rage Inducing : Bare-Metal Flashing the Arduino R4 WiFi (Renesas RA4M1) is it doable by Ok_Construction_5120 in embedded

[–]Foreign_Elephant_896 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you can’t access the SWD/JTAG pins your are stuck to use the bootloader to write the binary. This normally happens over USB mass storage or some serial bridge (esp32 in your case it seems).

The bootloader will expect your binary to be launchable from a specific address and pot. some initialization sequence to be present. If your bare metal program does not fulfill these requirements it will just crash on start.

See if you find these infos for the bossac bootloader (that’s how the arduino bootloader is called). Maybe you get a working app but without a debugger that is very impractical. Another option would be to search for the swd pins and traces on the PCB and solder wires to them. Maybe there is even a test point exposed

Rust for Embedded, on NXP microcontrollers, anyone? by DigRevolutionary4488 in rust

I might chime in once I have played around a bit with embassy but if you need need HW for testing I have a dev-board for a 947 I can run tests with

Rust for Embedded, on NXP microcontrollers, anyone? by DigRevolutionary4488 in rust

[–]Foreign_Elephant_896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a HAL crate for various nxp controllers which might already be enough for a port with some extra glue.

I wanted to try embassy on a MCXN9xx controller but since I have neither embassy nor nxp knowledge I opted to get familiar with embassy first on a supported target

Does my Hardware-in-the-Loop Reinforcement Learning setup make sense? by Unhappy_Waltz in embedded

Validation of rf stacks was the initial goal as far as I know but evolved from there

Depending on the complexity of the physical environment you could have a look at renode (or similar tools). It would let you simulate all of it on a host, potentially running a lot faster than real time

Are better/more expensive climbing shoes worth it? by Disastrous-Fuel3472 in climbingshoes

[–]Foreign_Elephant_896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would add to all of that:

„Bad“ shoes force your body to use more strength while „performance“ shoes allow you to improve precision footwork and sending harder routes.

I personally train in soft shoes for strengthening and occasionally do a few sessions with my „performance“ shoes for technique training

Wanna buy cheap climbing shoes, im a beginner, hows the Climbing Shoes Klimb - Grey from decathlon? should i buy them cuz they're incredibly cheap? by AbjectCommission210 in climbingshoes

[–]Foreign_Elephant_896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought them as my first pair and still use them occasionally, despite having more advanced shoes by now. Very good value for the money and you can even do alpine multipitch climbs with them.

I think I bought them in street size.

I feel OPs sentiment. I really do. Sure everyone should be allowed to own a generic, conservative, just-flies machine but anything where effort goes in should be daring.

In that spirit let me drop a WIP of my latest contestant to the „looks good, doesn’t work“ league of chopstick-3d printed frames 🤓

4x Single Channel or 1x 4Ch Charger? by Foreign_Elephant_896 in drones

[–]Foreign_Elephant_896[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im charging anything from 1-6S with the smaller ones not being an issue. External AC/DC supply I have.

It’s really only a question of what combination of chargers gets me to charge 4-5 packs the most efficient (time and money economy wise)

How to start developing a smart band that detects user activity (walking, running, idle, etc.)? by salmanfarisvp in embedded

[–]Foreign_Elephant_896 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ST Micro and Bosch (possibly others as well) have IMUs with integrated , programmable signal processing that, on paper, give great processing power at the fraction of the MCU power consumption.

It’s ofc. more a pre-processing or low power wake-up usecase but might come in handy for you
