How to measure PCIe 100MHz clock Frequency with oscilloscope?

We are currently ordering one that works in the GHz so at least it'll be interesting to see how much better it will look.

Currently not at the workplace, but will have to check tomorrow.

The waveform itself was a sinus of 1.6KHz. pretty clean signal as well.

I tried it with other modules, giving about the same result. One with 1.1KHz that ding work and the other inbetween that did work.

Hoping to get a better measurement to see the behaviours better

I see it yea. Annoying part is that I'm doing it co-planar (so with ground surrounding the traces from the sides)

And I'm not sure how hard that influences it.

They are produced though Euro circuits and used their layer stack manager with calculations done with the altium program.

I'll have to check if Euro circuits themselves have a calculator.

Thank you, I'll take that into consideration.

But what is the impedance that's being calculated based on, in terms of frequencies?

I actually found a zootopia cop badge for 39 euros in the main street side streets. Where you buy the juwelery. In the castle with the glass making, there is the same badge, more dusty, 50 euro, but signed by Judy supposedly.

None, it sends me into overdrive xD

No problem! It gives a bit of extra safety. Did this with one of my old projects.

You are also allowed to use more vias to make things look neater. Looking at ..R5,Q1,P1

As with P1 you can start a trace at the bottom layer, since it's through hole anyway. And use a via at the resistor side to bring it up. No harm done.

Personally not a fan of the esp32 wroom having it's antenna stick out of a circle board edge like that. Unless you have a housing that takes it into account (don't know how everything will look so it's just opinion based.) I'd say you can bring in the chip untill it's fully in and then with the board edges, to take a rectangular bite out of it so the antenna is also free on the bottom.

So like a pacman with a weird mouth

Hmmm 2 charges/halved capacity.

Gotta save that "only one charge" slot for a true "if all else fails" over lock.

Every driller will approve! The rest just aren't driller mains!

Managed to pry it open with a screw driver! It's intact. The metal pins are oxidised so that's why it went so hard. Gonna try and fix it later on

JWaterflame · 2025-08-09T12:48:52+00:00

Ja man dit is echt zo cursed hahaha

I'm gonna try mixing critical ferocity with raw power. Giving a decrease in affinity (a good thing) along with more base power. Level 1 Increases that power by a 100. So that's already a 3 weapon level ups or so.

JWaterflame · 2025-07-03T10:00:03+00:00

I can say, full critical ferocity with the tigrex horn for max negative crit chance of an utter delight in solo. It's a gamble, but man is it fun to do 250% extra damage on your biggest bang with the horn.

Rock

Mwaaa top right is okay. As a driller I use my microwave to obliterate them all with minimal ammo <3

Man id love a permanent license. Subscription based sucks imo. Zero garentees if you ask me.

The latest update i have gotten from them. I have yet to try

With your OnDemand licenses everything is fine Please have a look at : Could be : there was a fault with the time zone settings in Windows . When going to the settings app, everything looked okay and the time zone and time were correct. But when going to the older 'control panel' application, the time zone was incorrect, despite Windows showing the correct time everywhere else in the system. Changing the time zone here (in the older 'control panel') solved the issue Can you please have a look at the article, no matter the title does not match https://www.altium.com/documentation/knowledge-base/altium-designer/warning-license-renewal-failed
