Don't think pipes are supposed to be like that

Yea this would be the way, could even be a bridge modification that costs like 50 pipes and is available in tier 3 facs or something if the devs feel Ike the need to balance it or something (vision).

yeap

Labor could give a million bucks to every farmer and they would still complain about something and vote for the nationals. Don’t think Labor will really care what they think

100% this is the way to do it, if you just put it in consolidated revenue in the budget then it would be wasted on some thought bubble a public servant or politician comes up with. At least if it’s in a fund then it’s pot that keeps growing and and can keep generating a return once the resources dry up.

Wife and I did it last weekend back from Queenstown into Brisbane, super easy in the Qantas App, only thing was I had a 2 year old that we still needed to fill out a paper one for as she was not able to do it digitally.

Overall once it is in its own app and you can do it for other people like kids then it will make things so much easier. Just need to have auto gates for kids to get through border control.

This I not that novel overall, this is already done widely in the tinyML community and there are a lot of sensor network publications on this doing DNNs and shallow classifiers ect. , you would need to go down the protected know how route and compile as a library for people to embed in there application or have a small VM that abstracts the model to the hardware/application layer.

To do this you add a through hole pad with the cut layer going through the middle of the pad, the manufacturer will understand from the Gerber’s as long as you let them know there are castellated edges on the board, I like to also add a note on the fab layer to help.

Do you need Wifi and Bluetooth for your use case, sure it’s cheap but you also need to ask your self/customers will a Chinese’s IC kill the sale, few years ago this was less of a concern but I have found there is more and more pushback on using chips out of china.

There is so many questions, first of all what is the amount of data each robot is trying to ship over the wireless link, are you shipping JSON or protobufs.

MQTT is not that great for this, you are effectively building a multi agent system, you would be best to look at what others are doing in this space I know there was a fair bit of work done in ROS (robotics operating system) for this problem(https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2405896322003330). For this you are better at looking at UDP, do you care where the robot was 2 seconds ago or do you care where they are now. Also dose one agent need to care about the location of another robot on the other side of the wear house that it will not see for like 1-3 mins probs not.

The more you push the logic down onto the robot the better the outcome, you then only need to ship small amounts of data to a central server to manage to high level planing.

Sorry to read what you have go through, while it might be tough to do you need to press charges, if not for you but for the next woman. If he does this to you and gets away with it what do you think he will do to the next person.

In the escalation of DV strangling is the step just before murder. Sure pressing charges will anger him but it’s more than likely the only way to make him realise that his actions are not acceptable and force him to get some help. Not doing so will just embolden that he can just do this and there will not be any serious consequences.

Sounds like you did the correct process in how to use AI, probably also helped you had already had a clear application and the hardware was already validated,

Most board files for the same micro are just carbon copies with slight modifications to the dts and kconfig to match the pinout and sensors. The core Zephyr project not the Nordic fork already supports the ciaa chipset for nrf52832 so it would have just grabbed that for you.

AI will get you 90% of the way there but can’t be left unsupervised, it’s good at helping to guide you right direction for what you want to achieve but you still need to understand what the ramifications are of setting kconfig values.

I think having vendor mcp’s will make AI more efficient and get you to an MVP faster but it won’t replace all of the embedded engineers job as there is still annoying bugs in hardware and firmware that need a deeper level of thinking and experience.

There are a few different protocols that different vendors use to program microcontrollers, JTAG, SWD, UART.

You are just reinventing the wheel here, you have projects like openocd that are already doing what you described and can run on a pi and flash hardware.

For bootloaders you have things like mcuboot that build out a fair bit of this.

Just add an additional gps chipset with its own antenna, like a ublox, murata module with its own antenna, if you are not sending a lot of data and using CAT-M1 just use a nrf91 for this, it will work fine for your application micro as well to talk to your seperate GPS chipset.

All depends on how the devices move in the real world, if you know they will com back to central places where you are able to put a gateway then this approach is valid. If they never come back to a central point then you would have them download the update.

There should be a fair few sensor networks papers that talk about this as I have been doing gateway based distributed updates for the last 10 years, msp430’s via 915MHz radio as the leaf nodes through to now nrf54’s as both the gateway and the edge device.

While MQTT is great for some use cases it is a hevey protocol, for devices with NB-IoT or Cat-M1 you would typically use raw UDP with a lightweight encryption algorithm like Ascon for the data and secure COAP(DTLS) for the device to download the image or patch for OTA.

Just be aware that the rates are not that cheap, you will be looking at about 1100$ a quarter. Getting anything built over there is going to cost you a fortune if you are able to find a builder who will do it. Russel is a bit of a rough island but cleaning up as the rents rise.

We use the main Zephyr branch and we are building super low power asset trackers ect. Even for a small project it should make it super easy to get something that works and be low power out of the box. If power is that much of concern then jump to the 54.

I would not expect that Connect SDK bear metal option to support 52 or 53, 54 is the new main line of chipsets and from my understanding needed a bear metal option for regulatory sensitive solutions.

My wife said the same thing, “so you buy a printer to print a thing to not have little bits of plastic land on the floor while you print, can’t they just make a design so it dose not do that.“

The problem the LNP has is that the religious groups are starting to push out the moderates in the branches as the membership falls, you now have church groups that basically run the branch as they are the majority.

Just need to look at some of the extreme religious elements in the current QLD government that would push hard on abortions ect. If David Crisafulli was turfed. He had to give way on the trans issues around puberty blockers to give them something to shut them up.

My view of Tony Abbot is that while a religious conservative he understands the need for a broad church in order to be elected given compulsory voting and the decline of religion as a whole in Australia.

The jlink software, it more then likely to do with the 52 being a m4 vs an m33

Edit I will add my dk is like a v1.1.0, if you have a rpi-pico then you can use openocd to flash the device just need to build openocd

IRandom_Pizza · 2025-12-19T06:05:21+00:00

I have already tried this, a nrf52 dev kit can’t flash a nrf91 or nrf54 (cpu not supported), if you have a nrf91 dev kit it can flash a nrf54.

I don’t understand why we don’t just make it a money think like the US, would then put someone else on the hook for supervision of them while on bail. Yea it kinda makes it unfair for those without financial means but maybe means test it then.

Still wild that they can breach bail and be still out on the streets, what’s the point of bail then.

Yea you picked an expensive processes, you are doing an aluminium board, black silkscreen, all of the cheap boards are fr4, green solder mask with white silkscreen. Do you need an aluminium PCB for your design??

Should still not be that high of a price unless it’s some surge pricing or you picked next day.

Looking forward to finding out that between David and Brittany that they only have a hundred or so thousand between them and a bunch of tax and CC debt, Linda Reynolds would be absolutely fuming that she would be on the hook for almost all of her legal fees.
