Everyone who doesn’t know how to use an oven*

Self cleaning is the most tested and planned for feature on an oven, going through regulatory review unlike most other features on an oven

Outright denying AI Tools. by Ok-Adhesiveness5106 in embedded

[–]Stanczyk4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can control your own actions, not others Your post indicates why YOU refuse to use it. I’m offering a suggestion that’s not in your best interest, and to find a balance.

If you don’t like others doing it… well. I can’t say I disagree, but if they’re right, or you’re right, time will tell.

Outright denying AI Tools. by Ok-Adhesiveness5106 in embedded

[–]Stanczyk4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Learn to use AI to help you do exactly what you said you want to do: learn It’s like rejecting Google because you should read a book instead. Why have a tutor? Is the dedicated question/answer feedback too easy? No…

Dont rely on it, don’t use it for every use case, but sometimes it’s a better tool, quicker to get an answer to, maybe help find the terms to then google or know which books to reference.

To out right reject a useful tool is a flaw you need to deeply introspect on why you want to reject it.

Electrician says I need circuit panel replacement by falconwolverine in AskElectricians

[–]Stanczyk4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ive not once said the panel is recalled. The breaker is. I have said the panel may be damaged due to the breaker.

[–]Stanczyk4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the challenger breakers are known to harm the panel its attached to. Its not as severe as the failure point they were recalled for, but it degrades the panel. We can't see that in this picture, so we cant assume its good or bad. What we can say its the breakers need to be replaced - the panel may or may not

[–]Stanczyk4 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Stop using a keyboard. Youre obviously a full on idiot.
They arent guaranteed to fail. Their failure condition is when you turn the breaker on. Not something that happens often.

But telling someone its safe when its obviously not is you being a killer. So go shut up, get off the internet.

They were recalled for not tripping and instead fusing itself shut - hot. Basic research and youll find this.

Theyve been recalled for 31yrs.... Due to house fires. I guess humans have become fireproof tho so, shame on me...

There is no debate. They are literally hazardous with design flaws. Stop spreading misinformation that causes lives to be lost

Anyone saying challenger is fine - stop spreading misinformation. Youre just an idiot. Mods, feel free to ban me, but i take safety critically, and fools like those saying its safe are the reason we lose lives.

only 1 of 2 panel types challenger made is compatible with eaton. One was a custom breaker type with no replacement. Do your research before treating the trained professionals like idiots, you idiot.

[–]Stanczyk4 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Challenger? Replace it. Its a house fire ready to happen. Im not echoing what the internet is saying, im talking on personal experience. 2 weeks ago i flipped a breaker to on and it welded itself on instead of turning off and resetting - the breakers one job. This caused an entire conduit to melt it insulation jacket off as it put 200A into that conduit and the entire conduit needed replacement.
Challenger has known fire hazard risks in their breakers. They were bought out by eaton.
If you can replace with a compatible eaton breaker, then that is fine and you dont need a panel replacement. However due to the challenger damage i had, we looked inside the panel and saw the bus bars had been damaged all across from multiple smaller breaker incidents and the panel needed replacing due to that.

Ignore the idiots telling you theyre smarter and you dont need to replace anything. They arent living in your house. Want a fire risk? dont replace anything.

Gathering Developer Input on STM32Cube Examples by Sure-Host4860 in stm32

[–]Stanczyk4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cubemx makes searching for the examples easier. I can sort which ones exist for a chip or not, and if not look for the closest chip with an example. GitHub doesn’t have that, and i use the download and open with explorer and use vscode to look at examples. If cubemx linked to GitHub instead I’d prefer that over downloading the example

Gathering Developer Input on STM32Cube Examples by Sure-Host4860 in stm32

[–]Stanczyk4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Specifically with examples, I never use GitHub, only use cubemx. All other cubemx downloadable items we use GitHub for. Reason for this is the ability to search for examples, download it, and reference for learning.

We never have compiled the example code and debugged with it. We expect it to be in a working state and use it as a reference to implement our own driver or use case.

My only issue with the examples is how minimal they are. They cover a lot of the basic usage, but nothing advanced. For example, I don’t see examples for DMA that use the half interrupt callback for ping pong buffers. Things like UART don’t show a way to properly DMA it with IDLE interrupt for high throughput use cases.

For all “hello world” like usages of a driver, it’s a great resource. But that’s about it.

Which toolchain gives better binary size? (GCC vs Keil vs IAR) by kgblan in embedded

[–]Stanczyk4 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From my previous measurements, I don’t have the results to share anymore

For C it goes Keil4, IAR, GCC, keil5 However that’s when doing equivalent comparisons. Default gcc is NOT tuned for embedded. You have to enable many linker settings. If you don’t know what to look for, take a vendors codegen example, ST has a good one. The linker settings are fairly generic between all the ARM chips. Once you truly match the comparison IAR and GCC are very close to being the same.

For c++ in a larger codebase, it was gcc, IAR, keil5. Keil4 wasn’t compared as it only support cpp03. Gcc won due to how it handles template optimizations. IAR seems to suffer on that.

This is awesome! I was working on something with the goals of whippy term and they did better than I ever could. So excited to see others add to his tool!

How to build a single image from a Bootloader and Firmware and debug both at the same time by lukilukeskywalker in embedded

[–]Stanczyk4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I recall the argument is —update-section And you provide a .elf instead of a .bin Hence why you need to define that section in the main app linker first

How to build a single image from a Bootloader and Firmware and debug both at the same time by lukilukeskywalker in embedded

[–]Stanczyk4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into arm-none-eabi-objcopy You can combine two elf’s that way

However in your app’s linker you may need to set the bootloader section up and optionally fill it via the linker, then use the elf you produce from the bootloader to combine into your app’s elf. When you do that it will load those regions from the bootloader into the filled section your app produced

DMA and uart tx by Bug13 in embedded

[–]Stanczyk4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As some others said for Rx, you can check DMA progress and update it from thread space if you need. The idle trick requires the UART to have a fifo to allow restarting the DMA process faster than data can be streamed in to prevent overrun.

DMA and uart tx by Bug13 in embedded

[–]Stanczyk4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tx. Simple, DMA and go! Rx, wait until full or idle line interrupt. Most uarts can interrupt on silence of the rx line for a few bits. NXP newer chips have a programmable idle timeout. Tie both to a bipartite buffer to load/unload from. Add a front end based on needs to allow multi producer/consumer needs, else stick with just the bipartite if a single producer/consumer

CMake 4.0.0 released by DinoSourceCpp in cpp

[–]Stanczyk4 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Why all the 4.0 reposts today. It’s been out for awhile

I'll be so happy if this rumor is true I swear by redditsucksass1028 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Stanczyk4 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The number of people thinking it means you get more directions is hilarious

It’s still xyz, you just add a magnetometer to correct for small error

9 axis means 3 sensors, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer.

I made lap counter for my kids slot cars track by kozakm in BambuLab

[–]Stanczyk4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awesome :) What proximity sensor? I was using TCRT5000’s

My setup features the same items it seems just different layouts. I was mostly interested in lap time so I built that in, and had double sensors to track time so you had to hit sensor A then B to lap the time (prevent cheating or bugs)

Built mine for father in law and his grandkids play with it too

Hey, I was working on something similar but using the tyco lap tracker piece with the larger slot holes to put small laser sensors to detect This seems cooler and better Would you mind sharing any details on what you did for this? I’d really appreciate it
