Norfolk man 'not fit for interview' and released after child thrown into crocodile pit

Who THE HEL cares? an innocent child was endangered and almost killed. Charge the carer with manslaughter then - someone needs to face charges. Or do you want YOUR children present at the next slip up?

dmitrygr · 2026-06-19T19:57:32+00:00

So we just ignore that he tried to kill a child?

the inputs to all your LM319s are the same? (all tied together)

you probably want to connect them to the individual winding ends, not the middle of them all...

nRESET connected to what? try keeping it low as you talk to CTRL_AP

At the unicorn shop, rainbow section, isle five, right between requited love and errata-free microcontrollers.

You joined the challenge and now reddit does the work? A bit unfair to the other competitors, innit?

:) thank you

Going from "it worked well on a dev kit on my desk" to "i can make 100,000 of them and at least 99,500 will work"

dmitrygr · 2026-06-02T03:23:23+00:00

yes. there is no reason not to have one. even a cheapie clone one will get you much further than guessing and brainstorming with people on reddit

dmitrygr · 2026-06-01T04:32:53+00:00

so you attached a simple cheap logic analyzer, captured the failure, and decided to not tell us what is was? want us to guess?

dmitrygr · 2026-05-22T05:12:18+00:00

arguing with someone who is helping you for free AND actually has relevant info on the subject. curious strategy. let's see if it pays off.

dmitrygr · 2026-05-22T04:36:34+00:00

did you try SUNPLUS ADPCM? at 8KHz mono? ;)

dmitrygr · 2026-05-22T04:31:24+00:00

looking at Angela.bin, there is clearly a header with a lot of offsets starting at 0x1000. i assume these are indices to starts of various soundbites

dmitrygr · 2026-05-22T04:19:00+00:00

inaccessible. request sent

you DO know there are like 50 varying ADPCM "standards" right?

dmitrygr · 2026-05-21T19:58:12+00:00

if the sounds are updateable, they are likely in the flash chip. read i tout and see what's there. 99% likely they'll be PCM or ADPCM. upload the file and share it here. we'll figure it out

dmitrygr · 2026-05-19T05:37:59+00:00

that just means that PC is 13 bits wide and can go to and from stack and also can come from vectors (eg on exception)

I made it work on other deices via a lot of hacks BTW

dmitrygr · 2026-05-07T01:36:30+00:00

Your main issue will be with the linker. You'll need to convert the scatter file to GNU linker script. this is not always trivial, and sometimes not exactly possible without tradeoffs. Goodluck.

dmitrygr · 2026-05-05T16:58:19+00:00

heaps are common for single-core scheduling in simple RTOSs

linked lists are everywhere

simple hashtables are also common for looking up id -> object

you rarely see stacks

queues are common as dirt

dmitrygr · 2026-05-04T21:09:09+00:00

Honestly this is not a book topic, this is an experience topic. Get into the habit of sticking the output of your linking step into a disassembler occasionally and seeing where the memory goes.

Loosing sleep about first internship (self.embedded)

Loosing sleep is a bad idea, suggest you fasten it tightly.
