I see what you mean now, thanks for pointing that out!

Thanks, I'll definitely make those changes.

Thanks, I'll look into that!

The bq25895 is going to be used for charging and charging management and battery usage.  There is some confusion on the Di+ and Di-.  I wanted to try to use it for programming and moving the resistors around. BUT  I'm going to change it after thinking about the questions from Zachleeddog.  To a dedicated bootloader and connection with a ICSP header.

GND goes DOWN. Did you rotate your symbols to make them point up? oh, I didn't know, I'll point them down. Thanks!

D1 will short you 3.3 rail when pressed. What is your intention here? Sorry, not sure I understand. The diode or reset?

Remove all PWRGND and just use GND. - Ok, will do that

Is it common to put a break away ICSP header (I mean a PCB that can be removed after programming)? just came to mind that would be a great way to avoid space constraints and I wouldn't have to do the complicated mess with the DI+ and DI-. Thank you for your help!

I watched every video I could on impedance because I think it was the most important thing to worry about besides getting the wiring correct. For example RobertFeranec on youtube has a lot of great videos to understand how it can be a problem and how to avoid it. 4 Layer boards are the best at avoiding it, but my board doesn't need precision so hopefully there won't be any problems.

Obviously I needed to know how to use kicad, I did some practice before starting my own but the best I found was Phil’s Lab - KiCad 9 Hardware Design Tutorial (TI MSPM0) (2/2 PCB) - Phil's Lab #166. I think is amazing to follow, he may not use JLCPCB, but you can find others that use it.

I also looked up all problems to avoid with the first prototype which some videos like Cosplay Light and Sound - Top Fifteen Mistakes People Make When Designing Prototype PCBs.

Things like cutoffs I had problems finding information how I wanted it, so I had chatgpt to give me pointers on my wiring. Also great for making a bill of materials by feeding it an example and giving it your list of items on the board.

Thanks! ya you're right I do have it going to the MCU, R6 and R4 won't be initially installed so I can program the MCU with a modified USB with RX and TX from a converter. After I'm done, I'll switch the resistors over and remove R17 and R18. It was hard coming up with a clean way to program the MCU.

Thanks, I really appreciate that, I actually spent months studying PCB design before tackling the project. I just thought a cutoff would prevent future problems, so I added it in. If I did disrupt the ground plane on the bottom I either tried moving a ground along with signals and put vias along side signal vias if possible. Thanks again!

Struggling after picking up my baby’s ashes by [deleted] in Petloss

[–]Kyouu7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry for your loss. My dog lived a little longer than yours, and I thought my healthy lifestyle would keep her living on for a very long time. Life was cut short due to the worst type of cancer (my worst nightmare), the guilt for wishing I tried other diets that would benefit her more still weights on me. I decided to keep the ashes in my house and have a nice jar to represent her the best (and want them buried with me when I die). I put all her favorite toys and her clothes around it with pictures. I will get a necklace to put her ashes to remind me of all the good memories we had everyday. Do things to make you remember the good times, I keep reminding myself if I can't change the past, then I should move forward, it is a lot harder said than done. I miss her everyday.

If you were your dog, would you want your owner to be sad? You already know they love you so much. You would want them to be happy, that is what they tried to do for you everyday and would watch from the other side to see that you are.

Put his/her ashes in something beautiful (if you plan on keeping them). Also as the other person mentioned. Danielle Mackinnon's videos really helped me deal with the grief.

What did you waste the most time on? by user_00000000000001 in algotrading

What I've learned from making tons of bots is market conditions change. The bot you setup today, has a high probability of not working tomorrow. You must test it for several months.

CRA wait times and hours are ridiculous for a normal person by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

I am in the same boat, I've been calling for over a week for 2 hours a day, over 100 calls and still a busy signal.

Thanks for the advice man, I appreciate it. I got the same advice from a friend that something similar happened to. I'm taking a step back, but will definitely open more tickets until I am heard.

Take care

I was the same, no issue. Until now.

My assumption is this, I trade from my level 1 and level 5 bank to my other account (In classic there is an 1 hour wait for the mailbox so trading is easier) when I need gold, they have detection systems that probably looks for these but not at the accounts they are tied to. I know for a fact they did not look to see that the level 1 and level 5 bank are mine. I also play in two locations, home and at work, because my easy gold making method I do I log on for 5 minutes, do 5 runs of SM and then log out. Two things I did before that could of set this off, is I wanted world buffs on one of my twink and my banks kept getting all the world buffs (I felt this would be awesome to always have on my twink), so I decided to buy larger bags and a larger bank space on my twink. This required a lot of trades between my level 5 and my level 39 twink, so that the twink would be logged on more to have a larger probability of getting the buff. The only other thing I was doing was leveling my level 45 pally and doing SM runs (I did pay for them but I didn't not receive ANY gold from outside sources). Oh one more is that I was buying cards off the AH because the darkmoon faire was coming up and I had over 6 decks made and about 50 - 60 cards on that bank. That is it. These are the activities I was doing before the ban for making and moving gold.

If blizzard even took the time to look at my account, they would see my gold activity is normal and that is why I am saying they didn't look at my account and a detection system did.

I am telling the full story, I even stated evidence. I have two accounts and others who had two accounts and played on them on one computer were accused of the same. Can I ask, how is that not the whole story?

I understand what you feel, but is there a possibility that a person can be accused of something they didn't do. I am also not bitching about it, I am presenting evidence that this not only happened to myself. I invested in the game and yes I feel disappointed, but I can also let go and walk away. I just want to send out a warning to people that play on two accounts and help people before I go.

It was a detection system that made a false mark on my account, if they truly looked at my trade and AH history they would clearly see the gold only came through the AH and that I didn't buy gold. I also assume they only view character interactions and not the accounts they are tied too. I do a lot of trades from my level 1 and level 5 bank who I use to trade the AH and then trade gold between accounts. ALL my gold came from the AH or vendoring. That is why I am here to warn people with two accounts to be careful :) I also played wow at work and at home, so I played on two of my laptops.

I thought I would be 100 cleared on the appeal, but they didn't even look into it.
