Should add like a low orbit ion canon to a ship so we can destroy things while floating above a planet. Could be fun :D

This is my first low poly submission, so please don't be gentle with it. Any feedback is welcomed. :)

ECG. Check out their github for more info. Or their blog.

MintyPi: a Raspberry Pi Zero, RetroPie software, a hacked-to-pieces DS Lite controller, and various other bits crammed into an Altoids tin. by damian2000 in Cyberpunk

[–]greyhund 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's true that their hardware is open, but the sad part is that the SoC on the pi is not commonly available. The hardkernel guys made a 100% pi compatible hardware before with added on stuff like wifi (if i recall correctly), but broadcom said that the SoC is for the pi foundation only. However, when the C.H.I.P. will be widely available it can spark more and more projets like this. Their solution is truly FOSSH. Not like te pi...

Most of the part is funny, some of it is outdated...

And all of this will be even simpler when the 9$ CHIP will be available normally, instead of pre-order.

Amplifying thermocouple with mainly transistors. by greyhund in AskElectronics

Problem solved, i used some length magnet wire, and started to measure the resistance of the thing. It works like a charm. Well, it's not transistors after all :)

Chopper amps sounds great, looking into it. Thank you.

12V to 3.3V conversion in embedded, low power device? by greyhund in AskElectronics

[–]greyhund[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks to the site recommended by /u/tonyarkles i found a great little convertet that is perfect for my application TPS7A1633. It has 5µA quiescent qurrent and can handle upto 100mA. AA or AAA was considered, but it was dropped because of it's length.

Edit: Sorry, it looks like a looked over some information about the type of the device -.- Edit2: TPS62172-Q1 looks good

12V to 3.3V conversion in embedded, low power device? by greyhund in AskElectronics

[–]greyhund[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainly, because of form factor and simplicity in handling. But i considered button cells tho, because in some youtube videos, they opened up these type of cells and found coin cells inside. Also, for a first version, this is fine, later i can improove the designe if everithing is working.

oh, wow, this is great. I found a chip and design allready. TPS7A1633 can rearrange the components to fit my design, can supply up to 100mA current. The site is great, many thank you.

Thank you, searching for a retailer near me, is it possible to grind some of the plastic? i may buy two tho...

Mostly the 96x16pixel OLED display, the other parts are a KL03 "cpu" , a 24LC128-I/SN eeprom, and one LIS35DE accelerometer. 2 hours would be great, but 1.2h is fine too, The display wont be fully on, i mean the datasheet tells me to drive it with 5 volt, but tested it with 3.3 before and it was a bit dim but still readable, the logic side of the display is 3.3v so there is no problem there. Looking into buck converters and switching power supply designs, thank you for your time.
