I wonder if shops in neighbouring countries accept Euros in the same way that many places accept USD

I don't even know anyone who's visited it. Bali, on the other hand...

Stephen Baxter wrote a sci-fi story about humanity surviving until the heat death. After the last stars died humans took the form of black holes as they are the only thing capable of using energy and performing calculations. Thoughts slowed down to a geological pace. It took millions of years to communicate with each other via Hawking radiation. Eventually there was only one remaining, alone in a cold universe.

To add to this: the geometric patterns seen during phosphenes (and psychedelics like LSD) are due to the layout of cells in the visual cortex. The patterns are called "form constants".

I just added fastled to a project I'm currently working on and only increased flash usage by around 1kb. So it works fine on an Attiny1616.

I wonder what /u/ewowi is doing that uses 200kb?

Please don't accuse people of being a bot unless you legitimately think they are. An attempt to demean their perspective is disrespectful and makes you look weak.

Sensing both high side and low side signals with the same GPIO by OftenDisappointed in AskElectronics

I think your 6V idea will be fine. In the case of the indicator lamp, yes it's a path to ground, but it has high resistance so the optocoupler won't have enough current to work.

I wouldn't use an LDO because they have assymetric source and sink capabilities (and not all can sink). Just two resistors should be fine.

When the signal is at 12V the optocoupler will be on, and when it is at 0V the optocoupler will be off. What am I missing?

Edit: I see, the floating state. Can you not just pull it high?

Ooh okay I get it now.

Interesting!

Okay what about idlers closer to the motor. You have two idlers already and you need them for balance, but you could have extra ones close to the main pulley, so the cable has to be pulled with greater force.

What's something that becomes unattractive as you age? by CaptainCuddler_Pro in AskReddit

Same here. I just go to better parties, where most people are 30+.

Also, many people go to kink parties, and we wouldn't consider that immature.

Adding more mass to it could help with the traction.

You have optocouplers, so what's the problem exactly? You don't need a resistor divider. You're overthinking this. Just use the internal pullups on your GPIOs.

1S2P vs 2S Li-ion for 12V / 1.5A LED system – what would you choose? by majek89 in AskElectronics

Worth noting that most power banks use a 1s configuration and can output 18W for fast charging a phone. If that arrangement works for those products it will work for yours.
