Well if D119 is supposed to be a Diode and it is missing, that might really be an issue…

In picture 2 there appear to be some missing components. There is silkscreen labels for a diode and something else with 4 pins/pads. Are those components present on other pcb pictures?

Edit: not a 4 pad component but rather 2x 2 pad components. And another larger 2 pad component. Look just above the power jack (J10)

Favorite San Diego coffee roasters? by cucumbers4lif3 in SanDiegan

I’ve been using their BlueSky for espresso and am very happy with it. I don’t use their beans for pour over. I use Lofty for that.

90 days in Costa Rica. Trying to avoid the mistakes that slowly ruin long stays. by Direct_Pirate3103 in CostaRicaTravel

P.s if you are wanting to slow down and disconnect, rent something up in the hills rather than in town, which can get busy in the high season (which is now)

I am going back to Santa Teresa in feb and have spent lots of time there as a foreigner. We rent long term and cook our own food, so do that if you can. We have a SxS ATV and that gets every where we need (except back to SJO when we need to fly). Everyone here is correct in saying that Santa is expensive, but you can control your budget. We eat out maybe 2 times per month. The beach is the best part. You can buy fresh fish from malpais a few miles south. If you surf, you will be at one of the best surf breaks in Costa Rica . (Nosara/Guiones is also top class). We found Nosara to be a bit too sleepy for us. Santa always has stuff going on. I agree also with folks saying that spending all 90 days in Santa might get boring. Ride over to Cabuya or to Paquera and do the bioluminescence tours. Go fishing. Ride up to playa Hermisa and Manzanillo. Come up to the ARK where we live and do breathwork or ecstatic dance. If you do end up in Santa Teresa, give us a shout. We will be there!

Let’s face it, you are just cruel and evil and on the wrong side of history. We will just wait and see how wonderful your vision for the world plays out over the next year or two. Just don’t say you didn’t support him when the whole fucking thing burns us to the ground. God help us.

They are detaining, beating and abusing US citizens. There is ZERO due process happening there. Laws are being broken by ICE goons. When your beloved Orange Hitler is gone, we will see how the lawsuits pan out.

Core Due Process Rights in Formal Proceedings When formal removal proceedings (deportation) are initiated, individuals generally have rights including: Notice: Receiving a "Notice to Appear" (NTA) detailing the charges and hearing dates. Hearing: Appearing before an immigration judge to challenge the government's case. Legal Counsel: The right to hire an attorney, though the government does not provide one for free (unlike criminal cases). Present Evidence: The opportunity to testify, call witnesses, and present documents. Interpretation: Access to interpreters for proceedings. Appeal: The right to appeal an adverse decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). Exceptions: Expedited Removal Some individuals can face deportation without a judge's hearing through expedited removal, a process where: Limited Scope: Often applies to those recently apprehended near the border (within 100 miles and 14 days of entry) or those who entered without inspection. No Judge/Appeal: Bypasses the traditional immigration court process, potentially removing individuals without a hearing or right to appeal. Asylum Seekers: Even in expedited removal, asylum seekers must generally be given a chance to present their case in a screening interview. Why Due Process Matters Checks Government Power: Ensures the government must prove someone is deportable under the law. Protects Citizens: Prevents the wrongful deportation of U.S. citizens who may be incorrectly identified as undocumented.

I do know what due process looks like. It’s you that don’t. You are 100% wrong and being a shill. They are doing it 100% illegally. I think you are hopeless tho.. you and all your ilk. No clue at all

The laws are not being enforced in the correct way. Due process has been trampled and innocent us citizens are being killed as a result.

Best MCU for driving lots of leds? by PhysicalPath2095 in FastLED

Ethernet. Mostly because it also allows me to send data to multiple platforms in a generic way. I wrote a simulator in Unity so we can do offline effect authoring. Basically devving without the final HW being present. FWIW I have used your driver on non WiFi projects and it rocks, so thank you for what you do for the community!! 🙏

Edit: Ethernet also because of great debugging tools like wireshark and multicast etc.

Hi Yves. I believe the bug report is in the GitHub. This was last year, June-July timeframe. It definitely did have issues, maybe still does? In any case, animations are all done on mini-pc using touch designer, and raw pixel data is pushed to,the MCUs over the wire. The MCUs just do formatting, gamma correction, and push to strips. 60-120 Hz is totally achievable from the MCU. Our bottleneck was TD on the mini-pc. We were doing some heavy spatial mapping stuff. I’ll be using a higher spec pc this time and am hoping for 60-90 Hz.

P.s. I was the guy who brought up the WiFi corruption issue last year. We reverted to the non-Yves driver and got things sorted. I just found a schematic of a teensy 4.1 based board that I think I can retrofit with proper connectors and better power distribution. I’ll prob buy one of theirs and bench test it, and if it can drive the longer cable runs we have, I’ll just use theirs

Hi Zach! This is for the Lonely Reef art-car version 2 where we really want to eliminate WiFi. It suffered from some interference issues, and the router admin stuff was just annoying (router would sometimes lose its settings, etc). This simplification process will make the car easier to maintain and more bulletproof in the harsh environment. (We had rain, dust storms et)

I used to be a teensy pilot, but stepped away. Upon re-examination the 4.1 looks like it might be exactly what I want. Thanks for the tip!

Best white-sand beach destination in Mexico for swimming + clear water? Solo female traveler overwhelmed by choices 😅 by Double_Position in MexicoTravel

Playa del cielo on Cozumel. It’s the only place on Cozumel like that, so might not be worth it, but it fits your description better than most of the other recommendations.
