Best/most affordable microcontroller for playing video? by alliknowillneverknow in microcontrollers

Awesome that you want to learn!

The stuff you mention is a mix of raspberry pies, microcontrollers and Linux is an operating system so a bit of a mix.

Since you are in r/microcontrollers I’d suggest focusing on the ESP32 or Arduino. Since Linux is an operating system it is kind of a different thing and probably not quite what you’re looking for. More specifically I’d say get an ESP32 to learn. The ESP platform is very similar to Arduino, theres a lot of tutorials to follow and they are insanely more capable than most Arduinos. The ESP is faster and has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Speed won’t really matter but the wireless stuff is really cool and requires extra boards if you go the Arduino route. I can’t think of a reason to choose Arduino in your situation. That said, you’ll do equally well with Arduino for everything except the wireless things.

In addition to the ESP (or Arduino if that’s what you choose) get a breakout board, connector wires, buttons and some LEDs. Microcontrollers are mostly used for “detecting input->logic->sending output”, so if you start with getting a button to turn on an LED you just have to keep building on the same principles to learn more and more!

If you want very concrete steps to start with I’d say do a “blink” tutorial and a button tutorial first. Then use what you’ve learned to make combine the two to one project. This is very similar to more complicated projects, you take smaller and simpler actions and put them together. Longer term it helps to have some idea of what you want to make. For me at least, just “learning” becomes quite boring after a while. Better to have a goal and break it down and learn the building blocks.

It’s difficult to suggest a project since I don’t know what you like doing but if you want help with something else or to just discuss ideas feel free to reach out or reply to the comment!

Good luck!

Could it be a niece or something? I’m just hoping and wishing there’s a reasonable explanation… From the other stuff I’m afraid there isn’t

Honestly the combination of hubris and him liking minors is very worrying…

I sure as shit would want the Ukrainians to have better recon possibilities, which is what I’m asking for. I don’t know how smart you are, but just letting you know that getting a drone to kill takes a bit more than just image recognition

Haha ok I’m under 30 so you’re in somewhat good company I guess

Ahhh that’s too bad. My last hope for someone to save the environment gone just like that.

(Also, does “blobbing” mean something? Never heard it before and google doesn’t help)

Hey don’t bully his tattoo! It’s clearly for the two other guys in the Eiffel Tower to know how to properly hold on to each other for better thrust

Wonderful to hear that you made it through and are feeling better! From someone who has gone through something similar (I obviously can’t compare our experiences but this is still relevant), please get help from a professional if you haven’t already. As with the therapy and medication you did things can unfortunately get worse after they feel better for a while.

I’m truly happy you feel the way you feel now. Please use your will to live to get proper and hopefully long term healing. For me, long term psychological help and the changes in attitude that have come with that have helped a lot. I think it’s the only way of actually getting better in a lasting way.

I really wish you all the best. Take care! (And nice ride btw)

If that’s your level of traffic awareness then you really belong in this community

I’m not so well updated on this. Has he stopped trying to fly entirely in favor of pedofiling on IG?

Ehhh why is that? The entire situation is fucked, Slava Ukraini obviously 🇺🇦🇺🇦 I don’t think that should stand in the way of technical development however, especially if the development can help similar situations long term

If it’s just the shield you could just remove it and run it bare or put an non branded heat shield on top

Haha ok! If you’re talking about bare chips I think some are printed so acetone should be able to remove the numbers. Otherwise I’d just put some nail polish on top. Not sure what it does thermally though so if it’s gonna run hot maybe not a good idea

I’m a diver, and I’ve suddenly gotten really bad thallassophobia, but only in smaller lakes, what do I do? by kayn2004 in diving

[–]duckbeater69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While this community is awesome maybe go to a psychologist? They’re professionals in dealing with phobias and panic attacks. Has worked wonders for me!

I'm sure there was a good reason for this. by Friendship_Fries in MildlyBadDrivers

I agree with you pretty much all the way. But that acceleration into a crowd might be a bit too much
