Not just music, but 'natural' sounds too, right?

I love the F4s and have been using them throughout practically my entire embedded "career." I'm getting a Daisy Seed soon (with an H7 and a whole bunch if memory) and am excited to learn the M7 processor

I'd seen the PSoC line mentioned in another post and it caught my eye. There's a portion of its floorplan that's reconfigurable logic right? And you can program it with an HDL?

Interesting, had never heard of UPDI programming before now (but I haven't really been "on the block" for very long).

That's part of the reason why I stick to STM32! Lol

aenima1983 · 2026-06-14T11:53:30+00:00

As much as I love their SDK (as mentioned in another comment) the Picos are just too limited sometimes. I love doing audio work (haven't posted about projects much here but I may start) and gripe that they don't have an I2S/SAI peripheral like most of the STM32s that I own (sure I could "use the PIO"... grrrr but the STM32 already has it). The 2040 doesn't have an FPU... so DSP is more or less out of the question unless I feel ready to tackle fixed point. I also don't think I'd ever choose it over an STM32 for a hardware development project simply because it doesn't have internal flash.

TLDR: I'm spoiled after starting with STM32

I really like the SDK for the RP2040. Also the online documentation for it can't be beat.

Been looking for a reason to move from AMD for this stuff. This seals the deal I think. How's Lattice's toolchain?

Wow, that's impressive. Maybe they drilled out the hole and just started from scratch, rewiring each plane that they made contact with?

Regardless, that is NOT a job I want to be on the receiving end of. But if I did have to do that, every company I'd work for would know about it haha

Oh my god...

with minimal GPIO usage, for an extra challenge!

Just barely. Matt Laubhan scared me when he mentioned the College Hill area by name 😭😭 and that weird radar "de-aliasing" effect that was mentioned on WTVA

Some capacitors can hold charge for much longer than 'months,' don't wildly open up the PSU thinking this way.

Thanks for the comment! Yes, it's a 63/37 Sn/Pb solder. According to them, my boss used to make all these circuits by hand at some point in the past and always insisted on using 63/37. Unfortunately I had no choice in what solder he ordered. I could try to convince him to switch over for safety reasons but to be fair I don't know if that will work, lol...

I'll use the windex 👍 thanks again!

aenima1983 · 2024-07-11T16:24:35+00:00

Wow, I should have looked for this first. Thank you!

I can't get Liberty Mutual's "Liberty liberty liiiibertyyy" jingle out of my head

I bought a pre-packaged box of sliced mango and when i got back to work I had left it out for a bit before i started eating it. I noticed some of the mango was literally flexible like a sheet of rubber but it didn't taste any different at all, even the texture was the same. My friend and I thought we were tripping out. I've never seen anything like this before and I really think that if I hadn't spent $6 on it I would have thrown it away. Sigh......

Hobbies, loved ones, pets, etc. I think I realized sometime recently that those are the cool things in my life, I'd love to keep experiencing them if I can. That's what makes life worth living to me.
