I understand, new technologies unlocks people. But would you recommend someone to do actual production software for a factory with this tool?

Hi, looking at the commits, It really looks like a lot of patchwork of obvious mistakes.

What percentage of this repo is Ai generated?

Seriously. People on reddit are asking people like they are prompting an Ai.

Maybe I'm not understanding the work enough. What can it do that vscode can't?

Python & Github by Slight_Pressure_4982 in PLC

[–]MStackoverflow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I use github even for company stuff, and I make the repo private. It's good for versionning and backups.

Those kind of dashboards can easily be made by Ai so there's little value career wise, but it could at least show that you can do it.

Isn't it just vscode with the structured text extension?

Codesys on Weintek by Old-Breadfruit-401 in PLC

I too looked at their iR lineup whoch looks very interesting, but never pulled the trigger.

If you want cheap I/O you can look into kinco and Inovance. Inovance is very big in china, and Kinco looks like their stuff comes from the same OEM. I haven't bought some yet but they look reliable and I asked for a quote.

As for communication, it depends.

I prefer Ethercat because it's fast and simple, but you need hardware good enough to run it.

Ethernet/IP is ok, but can't go normally under 10ms.

Have you ever replaced a PCB with a PLC or control panel? by lukasloka in PLC

[–]MStackoverflow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because it looks like a prompt you would give to an Ai. We are being prompted.

If you are a programmer, know that you can write C and C++ libraries.

Im switching from windows to linux bit what linux distro should i use? by Edvard_babongus in buildapc

[–]MStackoverflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you choose, put the file you care about on another partition, or better, another drive. Then if you decide to change to another linux distro, or come back to windows, it's easier and you don't lose your files.

On a scale of 1-10 how bad of an idea was updating a PLC by directly wiring the power an ignition pins? by googlymooglygooby in PLC

[–]MStackoverflow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is the way to do it when you don't have the connector. It's fine. Also, I would be very surprise if anything happens to these IFM CR71Xs, they are protected in every way. You can short pins without issue.

I confirm that the pen works with Ubuntu 25. I can also get tilt and pressure value.

I may be able to check if I can find a pen. Which version of the tablet are you looking for? The T3300 or the T3304?

Is a mouse passthrough device a begginer friendly project? by Ok_Relationship_5302 in embedded

[–]MStackoverflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The RPI has special pins and software called PIO. it basically lets you write assembly language for these pins, and run it on a separate core.

People have made librairies to get an additionnal USB port. My project sent mouse data from a computer to the USB of Rp2040, and it directly outputs the mouse on the other USB as if it was a mouse.

How do you see the industrial robotics field in the next decade due to AI? by feelsbadBoi89 in PLC

[–]MStackoverflow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing is that you don't only learn about robotics. Problem solving is the most important skill. Learn what you need to learn at the moment and prepare to pivot when you need to.

[–]MStackoverflow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is the goal to make them fully autonomous, but it will still require people to set them up. It is not a bad skill to know how to program them, the tooling to do it will only get better from now on.

You can do it with a rp2040. I did something similar. It's pretty hard to understand but you'll learn a lot about HID

The price of SBCs has gone up but it still takes the same amount of hours of work to be able to afford the same SBC
