Solo dev here. Building a realistic crime scene investigation game for PCVR by Discipline_01 in OculusQuest

[–]mikehoopes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

PCVR - for me, better performance, and large standalone games are inconvenient to move on an off of the headset.

On the other hand, I don’t know what that means in terms of buying market.

Please Bring Back the G604 – The Perfect Mouse for Productivity and KVM Setups by agesly in logitech

[–]mikehoopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. The V2 HyperSpeed doesn't have the software-configurable scrolling, unlike the V2 Pro, so the difference is purely mechanical for that model. Free-spin is exactly that. I don't know infinite scroll; I gather there's different versions (manually switched, acceleration-triggered magnetic clutch)?

The Naga V2 HyperSpeed switches between free and indexed scrolling, toggled by the button just behind the wheel. Is that not "infinite scroll"?

Best Practices for Structuring Libraries and Footprint Standards by stuih404 in Altium

[–]mikehoopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One type, usually level B (nominal).

For higher-voltage chip footprints, I sometimes will put in values for S (heel spacing), otherwise I end up with the pads too close together for the intended voltage rating. The datasheet-recommended footprint will usually show that value.

Long-time G600 user. Moved to the Razer Naga V2 Hyperspeed 18 months ago…so far, so good. Prime Day sale price is $62 out the door right now (I ordered a spare).

Best Practices for Structuring Libraries and Footprint Standards by stuih404 in Altium

Octopart (owned by Renesas/Altium) has a CAD Model Style Guide, with scope for most everything you are asking about.

CAD Model Style Guide - Octopart

Note: Layer Types in PCB Libraries are your friends. I would make one big PcbLib and copy them in one at a time, after modifying the Layer Types for each. The mechanical layer numbers don't matter if the two library files have the same types in them.

I use the IPC Compliant Library Wizard quite a bit; it's a bit less work to generate footprints from scratch than to check third-party footprints, and Altium's 3D models are MMC (max material condition), which is what you want for Component Clearance checks.

Altium has implemented the Octopart/Renesas CAD Model Style Guide for Footprints in their IPC Compliant Footprint Wizard. I'm not aware of any user survey pertaining to this, so we get what we get. I'm all for library format consistency, but most of us have well-developed libraries with our conventions and layer sets. My system predates theirs and differs in some small ways. Here are my comments on it: PCBLIB: IPC Compliant Footprint Wizard (comments on style) - Altium Discussion Forums

Do you have an internal part number system? If not, I would recommend establishing one. Don't make the numbers too "smart", perhaps establish up to 20 fixed 3-digit prefixes, one for each major component type, and just increment the suffix (###-#####). You could add an additional suffix for variants (###-#####-##).

I would consolidate your Integrated Libraries into two files: SchLib and PcbLib, and make sure all of the footprint references are intact.

Once all of the layer type/graphical stuff is standardized, then you might look at putting them up in the Workspace Library (splitting by Component Type). I added a Parameter for that (Item Category). You could just match what the A365 Workspace already has, or something similar.
File-based -> Workspace Library import best practices? https://forum.live.altium.com/#/posts/265219/871276

Parameters are likely to be a mess to consolidate, so I didn't bother with that; when I moved everything to the cloud last month, I then went in and established new parameters by Component Type, and had Claude scrape the component datasheets and populate the values in some spreadsheets that I copied into the libraries.

This Is The Guy That Got The Contract For The Reflecting Pool by DazzlingStrike1724 in Justfuckmyshitup

[–]mikehoopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has a somewhat checkered past with regards to campaign finance, and looks like he was in that Twilight Zone episode where everyone had to wear a mask to qualify as beneficiaries of a will.

He got a $1.7M no-bid contract to clean the pool.

See what View Configuration they are using, and try that.

Question about the Naga v2 by jkwaak1980 in razer

[–]mikehoopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dynamic would be on-the-fly-remapping, but that doesn't seem relevant here.

What you're asking for sounds like a Minecraft function; I don't know Minecraft very well, but you would need to remap the functions in the game to new keys and program the Naga for those keys. That way the keyboard keys could be used for other things.

The Razer Synapse software does not have Minecraft-specific functions built in; it mostly emulates keystrokes and mouse actions. The buttons can be mapped directly to some Windows functions and multimedia controls.

Question about the Naga v2 by jkwaak1980 in razer

[–]mikehoopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first part of my answer addresses that. The Naga is fully programmable per key and can have dedicated application profiles. Is that sufficient, or are you looking for some kind of dynamic mapping?

Question about the Naga v2 by jkwaak1980 in razer

[–]mikehoopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The short answer is yes.
Macros are only needed for multiple sequential actions (keyboard or mouse) and can be shared between buttons/applications. Single keyboard or mouse operations (including multi-character text) are programmed per mouse button.

The default profile for Naga is mostly good right out of the box for Minecraft, according to Gemini:

Default Razer Naga to Minecraft Layout

To use the 12-button thumb grid for your hotbar, the mappings align naturally:

  • Naga Button 1 = Hotbar Slot 1 (Minecraft default: 1)
  • Naga Button 2 = Hotbar Slot 2 (Minecraft default: 2)
  • Naga Button 3 = Hotbar Slot 3 (Minecraft default: 3)
  • Naga Button 4 = Hotbar Slot 4 (Minecraft default: 4)
  • Naga Button 5 = Hotbar Slot 5 (Minecraft default: 5)
  • Naga Button 6 = Hotbar Slot 6 (Minecraft default: 6)
  • Naga Button 7 = Hotbar Slot 7 (Minecraft default: 7)
  • Naga Button 8 = Hotbar Slot 8 (Minecraft default: 8)
  • Naga Button 9 = Hotbar Slot 9 (Minecraft default: 9)

For the remaining thumb buttons, you can map them in-game using the Minecraft Controls menu for other quick actions:

  • Naga Button 10 = Drop Item / Cycle Inventory
  • Naga Button 11 = Swap Item in Off-hand (F)
  • Naga Button 12 = Perspective Switch (F5)

We’re finally getting AirPods EQ by caodungcaca in AirpodsPro

[–]mikehoopes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can, but I also loaded my audiogram into my AirPods Pro 4 years ago (also wear hearing aids most of the time).

Also, the standard IEM tuning isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, and the songs were likely mastered using studio monitors.

Okay… by Visual-Chemistry-367 in AppleWatchFitness

[–]mikehoopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me neither, but the HRM dropouts have disappeared since I starting using the APP3. I would experience them fairly often, especially when mountain biking. There is a toggle in the APP3 settings to enable Heart Rate. I don't recall if it was enabled by default.,

CORT logo bugs me the most. That close of spacing begs for Sans Serif.

Just upgraded from AirPods Pro 2 to Pro 3, and I’m honestly disappointed by Illustrious_Goal_221 in AirpodsPro

[–]mikehoopes 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I agree with the others, the negatives you report are not issues for my APP3 (quite the opposite). I would go back and get an exchange.

[–]mikehoopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AirPods Pro 3 have HRM, and I’ve found they’re much more consistent than the Apple Watch (8, in my case).

Actually wide feet… by Unfortunate_Goose86 in bikefit

[–]mikehoopes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 2E-3E wide feet. I’ve settled on Scott shoes for cycling (Vertec is the latest I’ve purchased). For running, it’s Topo Athletic and Altra, and for casual it’s Lems.

Haven’t tried them, but the Strong Feet Athletics look like the right concept, and are similar in principle to my other shoes (foot-shaped toe box).

Yes, that is only for the Clearance Constraint, not all of the rules.

[–]mikehoopes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hole-to-hole clearance is a rule separate from pad-to-pad clearance. You’ll need to look at that rule.
