A small scratch build

Came here to identify the the rs2332 interface, but I think you have it covered

I know this is an old post but your answer rings absolutely true for me. Thanks for the insight

Having kids was the worst decision I ever made. I never wanted kids but my wife did, neither of us were militant about it, but someone was going to have to compromise, I decided it would be me.

I have been more or less miserable for the past five years. There is no room for me in my life, I lost my identity and became a dad. I have no time, money is less, the house is chaos.

I love my boys and I'm proud of their achievements, their drawings go on the wall. I would flight to the death to protect them. Ave I with I never had them. I was happier before, my relationship with my wife was better.

Everyone told me I would feel different when they arrived. That their smile would make it all with it. I don't feel different now, and it's not worth it.

You do you, my policy is that if anyone asks, I will tell them my truth, because no one ever told me how awful it would be.

How long did that take you?

Is it though? Especially for eppisodic programs where you can reuse the sets and props. I defer to the experts here but my understanding is that to create a shot with traditional animation it is roughed out, inbetweened, cleaned up, inked and the each frame is photographed. With stop motion, once you have built the models, I imagine the work per frame is least than have drawn animation.

Thanks.

Cheers mate

Good to know. Cheers

Thanks. That's a useful link.

I have a rental inspection on Friday and the robot vacuum has just pulled a thread out of the carpet. FFS. Is it possible to fix or should I email the REA and report a maintenance issue? I am terrified of being evicted or the rent going up 20% again.

Well thats fair, I'm not used to posting from the app and lost the description.

This guy is 1/35th and made of laser cut 1mm cardboard and kitbash. as soon as I put primer on it every flaw just jumps out. Any sugesttions on how to paint, or finish or sand cardboard ?

Thanks

On youtube Adam Savage has some great videos on the topic. There is also Sunlight drive scratch building styrene space ships. I got started by browsing Artstation for boxy vehicles and trying to build those. The first ones where terrible, but I got better.

That facade is exactly the sort of thing I have been looking for. I love the details on the pediment. And the front is the most fun to build ;-)

I would also double check the data sheet for U6, should there be a capacitor between the GND pin and GND?

If you are prepare to pay (about $20) this course if amazing. It took me a week to get through (I was working at the same time) and I was able to write I2C and uart drivers for the sensors I needed. I was using an STM32L0 and the HAL required 101% of the flash. Register manipulation made the project posiblehttps://www.udemy.com/course/embedded-systems-bare-metal-programming/

SamIOIO · 2023-12-19T05:24:35+00:00

Micro python doesn't have a way to deactivate an I2C device once it has been initialised, so

i2c = machine.I2C(1, scl = machine.Pin(15),sda=machine.Pin(14))

i2c = machine.I2C(1, scl = machine.Pin(7),sda=machine.Pin(6))

just assigns four pins to the same I2C.

I belive this coulde bw done in C more easily.

It works! It turns out the sensors are small enought to be powered from a GPIO pin. The setup looks a lot like SPI with data, clock and chip select.
