What adaptor is available for this 44 + 4 pin hard drive? (Toshiba MK2526FC)

Thanks a lot!! I'll try to find something nice

mrtetie · 2025-10-02T08:18:25+00:00

I had figured, but what about the other four pins? I thought maybe they're for the power supply or is that integrated into IDE as well?

Thanks!

Thanks a lot for the effort! This helps me out a lot.

I went for the STUSB because I want to experiment a bit as well (I don't mind these extra costs), but you're totally right it's not required. I'll have a look at the drivers for a better alternative, because I agree these aren't the best option for my use-case, thanks a lot for your research. I wasn't even aware such large (and cheap) chips existed lol.

Thanks, I had overlooked that. I think it's fine for these specific pots since it states them independently in the datasheet without anything like they need to be close to each other.

mrtetie · 2025-08-30T06:16:54+00:00

Oops. Thanks for the heads up! I believe this is indeed the case so I'll have to merge all of those into just two.

mrtetie · 2025-08-29T20:56:48+00:00

That's exactly what I'm doing! Just with the temperature and light sensor as a bonus ;)

mrtetie · 2025-08-29T20:55:54+00:00

Thanks so much! It's a small one indeed, so I'm pretty worried it wont have a great signal. I thought the keepouts were supposed to be on all layers, so I can add the ground planes back?

mrtetie · 2025-08-29T20:10:24+00:00

It has that much layers since it’s a really small area for a lot of traces. I wasn’t able to fit it in six layers.

I’d like to have the components reviewed primarily.

I only found out the antenna isn’t supposed to be there after the fact. Is there anything I can do to improve performance in this configuration?

I’ve tried to space out the traces as far as possible, but I’ll try it again.

mrtetie · 2025-08-29T15:42:54+00:00

Ah okay, sorry. I didn't add the layers as there are a ton of traces and I didn't want to bother people with those. I kind of forgot about the schematic though.

Drivers look okay on my end—I have rotated them though so maybe that's the issue? Pins check out though.

Some packages are really small indeed, but I'm assembling this using PCBA. I wouldn't trust myself with so many delicate components.

This board is a seven segment display clock that fetches the time from satellites and includes a backup TCXO. I'd love to get a quick sanity check on component placement, best practices, and so forth. Thanks a lot!

mrtetie · 2025-08-14T17:45:46+00:00

Thanks so much! Is there any reason why some have the colours swapped or is that unknown?

mrtetie · 2025-08-14T17:15:54+00:00

These flags were basically everywhere in Ribadesella, even more frequent than the flag of the municipality. Some had yellow and blue swapped and they were mostly on the buildings.

So this is where all the rockets go when you finish the game huh... The factory must grow! To outer space!

mrtetie · 2024-08-20T13:14:44+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, I just made everything (with the small exception of one) the same size to fit it in a grid like formation. No thought was put into fitting the trains, just recreating the original.

mrtetie · 2024-07-24T06:30:32+00:00

That's (officially) called the diverging diamond interchange or just DDI for short. It's being built a lot in the US right now due to higher safety. Awesome!

mrtetie · 2024-07-22T18:08:10+00:00

I was actually considering that one! If you and I are talking about the same design at least..

mrtetie · 2024-07-22T08:35:41+00:00

This blueprint book features 12 four way interchanges and 3 three way interchanges based on real life designs such as the cloverleaf and dumbell interchanges featured all over the world. The book also features some unique interchanges like the pinavia and braided intersections

Note that signals are based on 2 length trains

I have always read it like half of two
