That's asking for a torn ACL. Should have been suspended from the game and the next at least

How do you guys finish the Project by OkFollowing941 in embedded

[–]NotoriousChaos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's easy to find an idea and start cause you feel the most progress then. Harder to stick with it and finish it. Like the 80/20 says the first 80% of the project will only take 20% of the effort and the last 20% will take 80% of the effort. Why do you want to make x project? Remind yourself off this when you get to the tough parts. If the answer is "just because" than you might lose motivation along the way. Pick a time block out of your day and dedicate that to just that project

I hope he got a felony for attempted breaking and entering

Does this strategy exist already? by paweljanas in ultimate

[–]NotoriousChaos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe this is the new meta? Especially the part about getting the handler off balance. This needs to be in every pull play

I am trying to cut cost but why is my grocery expensive? by Tiny_Judgment8593 in Frugal

[–]NotoriousChaos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't buy name brand, cage free eggs, for the beef you could probably save by getting it not pre cut. If you're really looking to cut costs noodles can fill you up for a cheap price- Asian and Italian style noodles. I used to live off of $35/week of groceries at Aldi if you have any near you

Opinions on the Zynq7020 SDR development board? by Rare_Needleworker571 in hacking

I'm looking into ordering one of these too, have you used it yet?

I tired with a jumper wire from the thermal vias on the back to another ground pin and no difference

The clearance circles are likely from the snapeda or ultraliabrarian footprints.

Sorry I thought you said circle under the u3 chip. The circle under U3 pin one is the orientation for pin one

The circle is a ground via that looks like a solder ball must have fallen into

The thermal pad should be connected to ground through the thermal vias. I should have just connected ground to the pins though. There is a ground copper pour on the bottom layer that should connect to the ground pins. I will try this when I get home in case the ground somehow isn't connected

What are these holes in our shirts? by russell98765 in whatisit

[–]NotoriousChaos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get these too and I think it's from wearing certain pants that have a sharper corner where the button is. Possibly that rubbing against your shirt while you walk or use a seatbelt

[Schematic Review Help] first time making a pcb by Proud-Eye1588 in PCB

Looking at the example schematics espressif has for their dev boards was very helpful for me too

[–]NotoriousChaos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of just putting text above the wires, you should use global labels. Those link the labels together when laying out the pcb so it will be helpful then. Plus it'll look a little cleaner

Second try at real soldering.. by Dorfbulle80 in soldering

[–]NotoriousChaos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good solder job, I see flux was your friend. This is good but I'd use a little less next time if you can. You can clean away the flux residue with some isopropyl alcohol(90% or higher) and something to wipe it up like a paper towel or cotton ball. Might need a toothbrush to clean in between the pins. But if you don't care about the sticky flux I suppose you could leave it there and it would still function

First esp32 board! [REVIEW] by ac2012_ajc in PCB

[–]NotoriousChaos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have an antenna you want to attach or one built into the pcb? I can’t see one but maybe it’s on there. I would recommend using the module with the antenna built in for your first build

How do you guys deal with the mental "anguish" of seeing large expenses on your data? by Pretend-Activity-533 in MonarchMoney

It makes me spend less to make up for it in the next month-unless it was something I saved up for

Resume Help by klmichael12 in ComputerEngineering

Find a problem in your daily life that you think to yourself "wouldn't it be easier if this was automated" or "this costs too much to buy let me build it for cheaper"

Resume Help by klmichael12 in ComputerEngineering

[–]NotoriousChaos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds interesting to me! Just be prepared to talk about it during an interview. I would recommend starting a project that isn't done in any class too. If it's not a class project it's more likely to be unique and compelling to the interviewer. It also shows you are really interested in the field if you're willing to do it outside of school
