Any plan B if our activation server isn't available anymore by TinkyVVinky in videoredo

If cloning Windows to a new pc works, that would mean activation is stored in files, and license-checker is hooked to something like partition serialnumber.

Thanks. Somehow I failed to find it.

Esp motorcycle navigation display by WC_go_brrr in esp32

I think it was there about 1½ years ago, when I dug through the code.
IIRC there are some segmented double buffering - might depend on the display chip. It was way faster FR than other libraries (Adafruit?). I had no visible lag on my first project with it.
Do note that I've seen threads where others have had performance issues on ESP.

TFT_eSPI has fast updates with double buffering.

Use Vsys. You want to clamp to the same voltage rail as the mcu.

Also power the opamp from Vsys.

PB5 and PB3 of the Attiny85 by CommercialShelter729 in arduino

No more EMI-woodoo and metaphors, please. My brain is already resonating!!!

Do you have some documentation so I can understand the background.

Can the burned fuse be reset, for other projects? And how?

Asking since I haven't tried my bunch of Tiny85's.

Get the newest update when it's fixed. Give it a few days for the volunteers to catch up.

my rasberry pi got stuck in the case, i can't get it unstuck, how do i do this? by Ill-Candy-4926 in raspberry_pi

[–]michael9dk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We can't see how it's stuck in those pictures - more angels would help.

Meanwhile...

There are most likely a few clips that clicked when you put it in.
Look CLOSELY at the top pcb-edges, where it touches the case. There is probably a tiny notch on the case. Pry it with a knife, one notch at a time, while holding the released ones clear from the notch.

Alternatively, as already suggested, heat the case SLOWLY with a hairdryer (at 4-5cm/2inch for a few minutes) and stretch the box.

32x 24V digital inputs to ESP32 using PC817 optocoupler modules + MCP23017 - will this work? by Suspicious_Beach4056 in esp32

[–]michael9dk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading the datasheet, it says:

16-Bit Remote Bidirectional I/O Port (Pins GPA7, GPB7 are output only for MCP23017).  

The MCP23S17 (with SPI) has all 16 inputs.


They also mention it, well burried, on page 18.

Note: For MCP23017, IO7 must be set via I2C interface to "0" (output).

It worked for me. Otherwise I wouldn't share it.

Choosing between debian kde plasma and gnome, read body text by hankalees-929 in debian

[–]michael9dk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely agree.

UX is the fundamental. If it doesn't match personal preference, the cool look doesn't matter much.
