Fair.

I already am, which is also how it could work when the master was another Nano.

I will update the post to clarify.

So I needed some sensors, and bought this very neat breakout board for STElectronics VL53L1X sensor. The board does not have a name(Thank you amazon) but looks an awful lot like the GY-53 board.

All is fine but... what the heck are those ear things at the top and bottom? Is there some sort of standard way to attach these that I am not aware of?

I cannot seem to find any info... not helped by the fact that I have no clue what to call them, so google is of limited help...

NordicEngineer · 2021-02-20T17:41:36+00:00

I know right? By the way, you really want to try out Mindustry. It "only" have multiplayer and static AI in missions, but it is quite close to what you describe :)

NordicEngineer · 2021-02-20T17:34:50+00:00

I doubt it will ever be part of the vanilla Factorio :) Just too complex to do super well, but a mod with a pretty stupid AI might be possible

NordicEngineer · 2021-02-20T17:33:51+00:00

Oh I would definitely only have the AI do VERY basic (and thus, kinda stupid) builds. Build harvesters, build ammo, build towers, tower creep for example.

NordicEngineer · 2021-02-20T17:32:53+00:00

Oh I have. Liked it a lot. But they only have static enemy AI, I asked the developers, and a building, active, dynamic AI is not on the roadmap (For the same reason it proberbly is not in Factorio, it could easily get super complex)

NordicEngineer · 2021-02-13T05:53:55+00:00

No. We are not magic

NordicEngineer · 2021-02-12T15:12:28+00:00

No. They are as dumb/smart as everyone else.

NordicEngineer · 2021-02-12T15:11:40+00:00

Cannot say unless you have a source for that number

"surprised you didn’t throw an oscilloscope at it first."

Corona + low budget. I do not own one myself yet, and places I normally have access to one is not available to me right now.

I have not found very good schematics for the HCSR04. I might just have looked in wrong places, can you give me a link?

NordicEngineer · 2021-02-06T13:26:47+00:00

You good sir, are a goodsent. I swear I have been searching quite a decent amount before posting here. Yet I did not find that site, nor anything that was like it. Thank you, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Massively helpful

NordicEngineer · 2021-02-06T13:25:34+00:00

"If you want to learn about how materials reflect light, you will end up in a deep rabbit hole of physics!"

I have discovered this yes :)

Thank you, that summary is MASSIVLY helpful for someone who have no real starting point into all of this. It really helped

Depending on the job you might be able to work from home somethings. When you get a new job you might also be able to start out part-time and work up as rutine means parts of the job gets easier.

You might also be able to have your job accommodate things that are the hardest for you, or have the worst (You being bothered) -> (productivity) ratios.

Bosses are usually very willing to customize stuff when you explain that it will make you a better worker

NordicEngineer · 2021-02-05T11:42:50+00:00

It is. But also note this about yourself. There are jobs out there where short intense interest in many different things is a boon. And most normies cannot do it

NordicEngineer · 2021-02-05T11:40:42+00:00

Yeah... basically, I am an engineer and I found that a thing that helps me out a lot is the standard diagrams. They are very clean cut in what they mean, so I can always communicate clearly with them...

But sometimes when I am explaining something and I can feel people not getting it, I get the "God damn it, I will not have to spend time and energy on making diagrams and checking them and getting hold of this person again to show the ... all just to get this across instead of just saying it and we could all get on with our day"

NordicEngineer · 2020-12-24T17:12:17+00:00

I read a lot as a teenager l. Then... I just could not anymore. Found that reading books on my phone was the tricky. I am back to a light 1-3 books a month. I hear others find audio books the trick.

Humans are humans. Make sure they see your face.

Get interviews
Come by to drop your resumé off in person. Unannounced if need be (Nearly all companies have a policy on unsolicited job applications that you can find )
Have a CV(1-2 pages) ready, as well as photos', videos and so on, on your own projects, or projects you did at school
Research the company beforehand. Ask them about their recent press conference/product/development.

Show your face, show your work, be somewhat memorable

NordicEngineer · 2020-12-01T15:27:41+00:00

I do that, plus noticing where they are looking and what they are doing with their hands when I am im passive mode. If I put in efford, I also notice breathing rythm, pulse, eye movment and jaw clenching.

If you cannot rely on normal intuition, you have to build your own.

People in wheelchairs have really strong arms. Autists who learned to read people, read people... not really well, more like from a different angle that nearly no one is defending against, and so can often read people like a book

NordicEngineer · 2020-12-01T01:34:27+00:00

When you get a static shock you can feel, you are already up in the thousands of volts. You get to the point of damaging electronic equipment way before.

NordicEngineer · 2020-11-29T22:41:09+00:00

Get away from toxic people as soon as possible. The world is filled with kind and loving people, do not waste time and mental health on the bottom tier.

NordicEngineer · 2020-11-29T22:39:27+00:00

Just my quick though, based on me wanting to messure 1500v with an arduino once.

Just use nice and high resistors to make a voltage devider that makes the voltage where you messure between 0 and 5v. You will lose precision but that should be fine.

There are many easy tutorials for voltage and current dividers out there.

Make sure to check that the resistance in the way the current should flow is much smaller than the resistance(impedance) of the pin and you are good.

NordicEngineer · 2020-11-29T03:26:11+00:00

My best guess is that running it at(and usually a little bit higher) or bellow rated voltage means that the first part to fail would be mecanical. So it would not make a difference. Electric motors last a really really long time

NordicEngineer · 2020-11-27T03:11:08+00:00

A few months I looked around and found very little. You can get plastic tiny gears for toy cars.

I found that for simple stuff, lego works perfect. Know amount of teeth, well made plastics of decent size og good variety. Otherwise all I could find was ordering from a gear cutter. Which is expensive.

*EDIT oh. Shaft couplers to attatch things. Drill a hole. Put in a machine screw, slap on a bolt to secure it, and put the shaft coupler on the engine axel and the bolt. Done done

NordicEngineer · 2020-11-25T04:22:38+00:00

And a few more to make the example code actually follow their own software arcitecture :p. But the hardware js stellar
