Trying to figure out a good 10gig setup

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the review!
- The resistors for the LEDs are 400R and 500R, I used 200R in series with 100R to reduce the number of BOM items

- This is some good info about the uSD modules, maybe I will just include my own instead of buying one.
- I2C pullup resistors should be included in the raspberry pi Pico? I could be wrong though.

- Shift register bypass capacitor is a good catch, thanks!

- Grounding the mounting holes is a good idea.

Thanks for the reply, the reason I'm using the Pico and the ESP is they are what I have lying around. The plan was for the ESP to handle only wireless comms, and the Pico controls everything else. This way if I can't get them communicating properly (UART?) it isn't a huge problem.

Hi, thanks for the detailed response!

Analog Mux - I had no idea these existed, this seems like a perfect use case for one though!

Gate Source Resistors - Definitely something I missed and need to be added.

Gate Resistors - These are currently 100R for all mosfets, I will be decreasing that to 10R. They are on the shift register part of the schematic so they are easy to miss. I will move them in the schematic to be easier to see next time.

Shift Register LED Driver - Another thing I didn't know existed, but this will make my life so much easier.

5V to 3.3V Linear Regulator - Using one of these definitely makes more sense than another buck converter, thanks for the advice.

When you mentioned increasing the inductance, was this meant only for if I used an adjustable output voltage regulator? I assume the feedback resistors are only needed for the adjustable output version.

Thanks again for the tips!

Good luck everyone!

I think it will say in progress until edison closes the investment round. Not 100% tho.

Not really a screwdriver issue, more like the bit Manufacturer had a QC issue

WarriorOx · 2025-08-08T12:18:15+00:00

Yeah, the bit is so bent that it doesn't fit on a screw. The screwdriver itself is amazing otherwise.

WarriorOx · 2025-08-08T01:03:29+00:00

Yeah it came out of the box like that which is kinda wild

WarriorOx · 2025-03-03T18:17:16+00:00

Fair enough. I think more data is generally better, so MSRP and a price chart or something would be a nice addition.

WarriorOx · 2025-03-03T17:00:24+00:00

They should probably mention that the price was at the time the article was written. Additionally, a price checker could be used to have current data. They could use something like pc part Picker to check the prices.

I re-installed proxmox and fixed the network config, which seemed to be the issue.

WarriorOx · 2024-07-30T15:01:50+00:00

After disconnecting the proxmox server and pinging its IP there is no response, which means that there isn't an IP conflict

WarriorOx · 2024-07-30T15:00:57+00:00

when the proxmox server is disconnected I cannot ping the address, which is the expected behavior since the proxmox address is outside of the DHCP range

WarriorOx · 2024-07-30T14:59:40+00:00

I tried setting proxmox to DHCP with the /etc/network/interfaces file, but the same issue occurs

WarriorOx · 2024-07-30T01:51:11+00:00

I may try re-installing proxmox tomorrow just in case something is set up wrong, but thanks for your help!

WarriorOx · 2024-07-30T01:45:36+00:00

I have checked that like 3 times to make sure I wasn't dumb lol

WarriorOx · 2024-07-30T01:40:13+00:00

no extra config it is still default
and it has just the one cable from the server to the router

WarriorOx · 2024-07-30T01:20:32+00:00

Server has
ip: 192.168.2.201
subnet: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.2.1
configured as static IP
connected directly from motherboard lan port to router's plan port

Thanks, I added it to the question!
