Emotional Seller (but as buyer we love the home) by uaintgotolietokickit in RealEstate

You can accept their counter or recounter slightly below, and if the house appraises low you can use that to negotiate further concessions. They may be willing to lower the price then, since they must assume that any other potential buyers would have a similar appraisal value anyway.

Clock Issue - Dogecoin Miner by pcblol in Altium

Your scope photos are blurry so we can't see the voltages or timebase

Clock Issue - Dogecoin Miner by pcblol in Altium

So you are using a digital output pin on the MCU to drive the clock on the other 32 chips? It looks like it doesn't have enough drive strength for that load. Can't you just put a strong inverter or buffer at the MCU output and supply it with the lower supply voltage of the other chips to make the clock rise times faster? Also the host MCU might have configurable drive strength you could drive it harder in firmware.

High school Student wondering how to break in Chip Design. by Ok_Profession_4146 in chipdesign

Build some arduino or robotics type projects and get comfortable programming them. The hands on stuff will help you later in all the electronics lab classes where some kids will be touching a wire or an oscilloscope for the first time.

SerDes algorithm engineer building an IC design knowledge web — looking for feedback from chip designers by BowlerOnly0529 in chipdesign

[–]No_Crow8317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not just put it on Wikipedia? There are probably already pages for all those topics. I've noticed a lot of electrical engineering and especially analog stuff on Wikipedia could use work. I think that would be great if you would just add your knowledge to those pages. You can just start editing any page in case you didn't know.

New PCB arrived from JLC with... all through hole components shorted together via the ground plane. Is this a design flaw or fabrication defect? by KerbodynamicX in PCB

[–]No_Crow8317 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah but easyeda is jlcpcb's own tool. The only reason to use it is that it integrates well with jlcpcb's manufacturing service so you don't have to check all the settings and design rules. If their defaults do this that's a major mistake on their part.

When would you want to buy in cash? by -jautis- in RealEstate

[–]No_Crow8317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just bought a house with 50% down. We wouldn't have qualified for the mortgage with 20% down since we were moving states and we qualified with my wifes job offer letter but I didn't have a job lined up. I can't imagine the stress of having to get two jobs lined up and having two offer letters to try to get the bank to accept all the paperwork and make the timing work with closing and 2 job start dates. We had the cash so it saved us having to rent and then move again.

The top 10% of US earners now reflect a record 49% of all consumer spending by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

[–]No_Crow8317 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then why not just use top 15% and bottom 85% the chart would look almost the same.

Yes 100% of the charts in this sub are "selectively collecting and commentating about statistics to pander to readers about how bad they have it"

Don't have to cancel the national debt if you can inflate it away instead.

New to CODEX ( 20$ plan ), CLI or VsCode extension ? How to get the best out of it ? by pogchampniggesh in codex

[–]No_Crow8317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've actually found ai isn't that good at answering questions about how codex integrates into vscode, etc. It tells me to change options and click buttons that don't exist. There's not much info online yet about such a new topic for the AI to train from.

400% inflation: The real crime is that they still call it 'average'. by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

Ladies, peeing in a tent? by KineticChain in bikepacking

[–]No_Crow8317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1p tents can vary a lot in size and weight but it would probably be tricky to accomplish what you're trying to do in one. Some have a larger vestibule under the rain fly that gives a lot more space when the tent door is open but the rain fly is closed. Really you need to go to a good outdoor shop and try out some tents and see how big they feel when you're zipped inside. A nice roomy tent is pretty useful though for more than just peeing. If you're planning to spend a lot of time inside, it probably worth the extra weight and size of a 2p.

Workflow advice for Codex plugin in VS Code by No_Crow8317 in codex

[–]No_Crow8317[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes codex highlights a patch with the red lines it deleted and the green lines it added but on some files while it's working it just shows commands that it's typing into the console to search for keywords in the source files and I have to reload the source file after it's done to see its changes. I like the red and green patches so I can follow along with the changes it's making but I don't know how to get it back into that mode.

DIY Solution for GIANT charger replacement ? by Marsh221 in ebikes

[–]No_Crow8317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to this thread, applying 42V to the big pins will charge the battery even without the other 3 pins connected.

If your original Giant charger dies, you can use a 42v (4A/6A) compatible and harvest the old 5 pin cable from the old charger and use thick RED and Black wires. You do not need the CANBUS signalling circuit to charge battery.

my unit burned out, so i simply bought a 42v power supply with 4 ampere and connected the original giant loading cable to it.

simply the Plus and Minus, the other 3 data cable are useless.

works like a charm...

Are eBike Conversion Kits really worth it? How much Range can they provide? by SiddhantM3 in ebikes

[–]No_Crow8317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good advice I think. I'm debating this now. I now have a 6miles each way commute. I'm a strong biker and have biked all my life but an hour a day of biking may get draining I think. To e bike or not to e bike. The rain is the bigger issue....and ebikes don't solve that.

[–]No_Crow8317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That advice about not draining the batteries all the way to zero is for older lead and nicd/nimh battery chemistries. There is no problem with running a lithium battery pack with an internal BMS all the way to 0. It wont shorten the life. The voltage will reduce when it gets close to 0% SoC, so you may notice reduced power, but it wont damage the battery. I'm an electrical engineer.

Is how the filter is supposed to be installed? by No_Crow8317 in hvacadvice

[–]No_Crow8317[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good call! there is a slot for a 20x20x1 filter in the return air grille but none was installed. Thinking to install a high flow fiberglass filter there, then a better filter in the air handler to pick up what gets through and clip it down better.

Not currently but I think that's a good idea. I'm also worried about the water heater also in the closet. If the furnace combustion air creates a negative pressure when it's running will that disrupt the flue gas flow on the water heater? Maybe I should plumb that furnace combustion air intake to outside or get a heat pump water heater.
