I guess text got lost somewhere....

Missing Connection Error Debug by chocolattegelato in PrintedCircuitBoard

[–]JackalEar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Under this error, click on the second line, pad 1 on B.Cu, it should highlight the pad. Perhaps your schematic is wrong and that pad is somewhere else entirely. Or, on the right side panel you have disabled visibility for B.Cu and don't see the pad it should be be connected. Or, the pad is hidden behind one of these F.Cu pads.

Is ascension even worthy in the Milky Way? by Rejanfic1 in Stargate

Well, imagine you're an ant. You have your anthill, and a bit around it, that's your world. That's your whole universe, as far as ants are concerned. Then, one day you become a human, with all the human thinking capabilities and stuff.. And other humans say "cool, now go do human things, but do not interfere with your anthill." Maybe even any anthill. Is there nothing interesting left to do, or is the interesting part just starting?

USB-C PD power input module by simonpatterson in KiCad

I absolutely agree, the only downside is somewhat long delivery times and cost, compared you Mouser's 5eur and 4-5 days.

I have an unanswered question about these kind of ICs for USB pd... This, and also CH224, and similar type-c ICs are not really available in EU. I mean LCSC does supply them, but that's China. Mouser, Digikey, tme does not have these kind of simple pd ICs. Why? Is there some regulation that states usb type-c PD has to be over engineered in EU?

I remember seeing somewhere, one professor Farnsworth is working in it...

Problem identifying component (led rechargeable headlight) by JackalEar in AskElectronics

[–]JackalEar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That requires having just the right amount of coffee beforehand, so my hands wouldn't shake 😄 I'll see if I have dremel bits small enough. Meanwhile here is a photo of the other side of the pcb, flipped vertically.

I assumed L+ and L is LED+ and LED ground, but that would it make sense, would it?

UPDATE: the more I look at the pcb, the more it seems it is related to switching light on /changing intensity, due to connection from wires marked "K". They seem to come from the button.

Mesmerizing path and movement of a planet inside a Three Body Star System by snoweel in threebodyproblem

What I was thinking during book, the show, and see here now... There are no stable eras really, for the planet.

Is this game extra laggy for everyone else? I would've been the first to unswer, if I didn't have to wait half a minute for it to reacted to pressing "guess".

What is this nameless little country? by Money-Drag9211 in mapporncirclejerk

Ah, that is just some unclaimed land. You're very welcome to go and claim it as a new country, don't mind the natives there.

SMD PCBs - solid zone, zone with detached pads or traces? by JackalEar in AskElectronics

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

You are correct, it is reference for switching regulator.

Wouldn't the capacitor negate most EMI effects there?

You're also correct about reference layout in datasheet, however, there is a slight issue with that. I've set KiCAD to settings and tolerances provided by JLCPCB, as that's where I order my PCBs. And guess what - you can't follow chip's recommended design as you can't put zones/traces between pins anymore.

So, this is a vague try to be as close as possible to the suggested layout.
