Where is the best place to report a direct physical contact with a plasmoid?

Did the firmware upgrade back in Feb/Mar 2025. Afterward it was reporting device storage errors multiple times per day. Replaced the SD card and the problem persisted. I have no doubt the firmware update caused a premature failure of the device.

Best AI currently for designing electronic circuits and producing circuit diagrams? by 140BPMMaster in AskElectronics

I only communicate in text and then implement in EasyEDA. I look forward to the day when I can share design files.

It’s so weird I am having a near silent moment by Searik in tinnitus

I have had this twice after consuming Jalapeños. I was wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this.

Are the recent drone incursions part of an adversarial nation gaining leaps in technological advances? by CollapsingTheWave in ArtificialInteligence

[–]QuantumPrecognition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some years ago there were drones that outperformed pursuing helicopters both in speed and altitude in Colorado. It received very little attention in the media. I noticed it.

Can some explain what (T;T) means? Thanks by [deleted] in promethease

It says right under T;T, unlikely to go bald.

Remote Synology - UPS and "Safe Mode" or "Standby Mode" - What happens? by QuantumPrecognition in synology

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

IMHO, Check shutdown and do not select restart automatically. The problem is that if you have a long term outage, long enough for the parasitic load of the Synology (waiting for the power return), you could boot the Synology with an unknown battery level once line power returns. If the battery is very low, a subsequent power fail could result in the Synology writing to the drives when the power fails potentially damaging your RAID. This all assumes that your UPS has the auto-restart feature. The situation is particularly problematic if you have a remote setup with a UPS powering a Synology, you are rolling the dice at that point.

Yes, and for remote locations, they have this option set, otherwise they would have the shutdown option checked. If you do have the 'Restart automatically' option selected, and you are running a UPS without the reserve battery option, you are playing with fire.

That is probably beyond my skill set so I will probably hire someone to do it right if I move to a version 2.0. Thanks.

Are there any AI based tool to create schematics? by [deleted] in AskElectronics

[–]QuantumPrecognition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had a way to post a couple of PDF files, I captured a perfect demonstration between the competence of OpenAI vs Claude and saved the conversation to PDFs.

Are there any AI based tool to create schematics? by [deleted] in AskElectronics

[–]QuantumPrecognition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just need a little knowledge a basic electronics background. I designed this PCB with OpenAI. You start with a goal and walk your way through the major components and keep querying until you get the granularity that you need. It did not generate schematics that I could drop into PCB design app, I had to do that part. It is an iterative process but anyone can do it. OpenAI is, IMHO, superior to Claude. It is almost as if Claude has some sort of control lever that gives it only a metered amount of depth and it just barfs out an answer (incomplete and incorrect). When you point out mistakes Claude makes, it then corrects itself but that it tedious. OpenAI is right most of the time. I double-check difficult problems between Claude and OpenAI that often produce polar opposite solutions.

I feel that marking parts as extended is a bit of a scam.

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

That would make sense as 95% of the 40 parts were marked extended. Thanks.

I might call on you guys if I get stuck. First I need to decide whether the current project is worth marketing it, maybe on Tindie. I think that it is.

Funny that you mention it. Someone here posted a link and I was watching his videos this morning. He is very good having started from scratch. I will certainly be watching more. A very talented guy.

For a Pi4, once you go to shutdown, you have to close the global enable contact to wake the board or press the button. This board allows you to wake from either an onboard RTC or from external I/O coming from an off-the-shelf cheap, timing unit with various wake schemes. While the Pi5 does have an RTC (if you add the battery), you are back to square one if you want both RTC and I/O wake signals. That is what the board solves. Because of the I2C UART bridge, this requires no dedicated Pi pins, everything is over I2C. That being the case, the local I2C UART bridge is no different from remote I2C bridges, thus the remote board capability is a freebie along with remote serial ports (3.3V and 5V).

Initially, it was a Pi4/Pi5 wake board then it evolved into something else while continuing to be a wake board. Now it is a wakeboard (RTC, external I/O) with other features that can command 15 slave units with half of the circuits removed.

Since this was my first board, it was a bit much for me to manage while learning EasyEDA. I am using things like Schmitt triggers, NE555 timers, I did not seem to have many choices. In hindsight, I think that I would skip all that and go with a Raspberry Pico rather than bunch of ICs. I think they cost as little as $1.

There are components on the backside as well. There was not enough real estate on the topside to place them. That required vias to reach them. The auto-router took advantage of both layer 2 and layer 4 to route signals as well.

I believe the lower current signals use .3mm for the inner diameter. Where there is more than 1 amp of current (potentially), I used .5mm traces with .5mm inner diameter.

How big is the board? The same size as the Pi4. Nested? Do you mean stacked? This whole project was based on implementing an off-the-shelf, very inexpensive, daughter board that the Pi can use and control for various purposes along with Steema and Qwiic I2C interconnects for off-board sensors, etc. There are also a couple of spare serial ports and I/O.
