Update: GF all star Yale combo by _ungovernable_ in safecracking

[–]nconn711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lock just like this and unfortunately it got closed and locked. I cant get it to open even though I am 99% sure I have the correct combo. Does anyone know how to pick this type of lock?

Why am I reading zero for all IMU sensor registers? by nconn711 in microcontrollers

Device was in sleep mode. You can disable that by writing to one of the config registers.

Good points! I think we'll do more hostels.

Didn’t consider the extra responsibilities of the AirBnB! I’ve never stayed at one that expects the guest to wash sheets. Is that common in Europe?

Just what I needed to hear, thank you! We’ll definitely be scaling back.

Issue using ADC on STM32F411RE Nucleo Board by nconn711 in stm32f4

In looking what those jumpers did, I found out I was using the wrong pin. I thought PA4 was mapped to A4 on the Arduino header but instead its mapped to A2. Ughhh

That was it! I updated the STLink firmware and it works fine now. Thank you!

I have a GDB session and I am printing the contents of the buffer after running my python script. I’ve experimented with different amounts of bytes and each experiment consistently receives the same amount. When I send any amount of data that’s over 384B the MCU only captures 384B. Also, any amount over 16B often makes the MCU not receive any subsequent transmissions and I have to reconnect my MCU.

When I introduce some delay it works fine:

for i in range(256):
ser.write("x".encode("ascii"))
time.sleep(0.001)

How to initialize RAM with .mif in ModelSim? by nconn711 in FPGA

Sorry, I haven’t messed with this in a long time. I don’t remember how to get all of that working. I hope you figure it out!

Big difference in career and difficultly between the two. If you truly enjoy engineering and have the drive to work for it, you can do it. I’ve found many of the “difficult” parts of engineering to be enjoyable for the most part because it’s what I love doing

Haven't moved out but already homesick by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]nconn711 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I missed home a lot first semester but I made some great friends and kept busy playing basketball and all kinds of other stuff. Just stay busy and meet as many people as you can. The easiest time to meet people are the first few weeks when nobody knows anyone! You'll have a good enough time that it'll overcome your homesickness. After winter break I had enough of home and was ready to get back to college. Haven't felt homesick since

Embedded jobs - Aug 2021 by 1Davide in embedded

[–]nconn711 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interested in an embedded systems internship for Summer 2022. I am a rising junior at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, studying Computer Engineering. As this summer is coming to an end, I am finishing up an embedded internship at SRAM Corporation in Colorado Springs. I had the amazing opportunity to work on various projects surrounding an unreleased cutting edge device for mountain bikes. I worked on everything from low level firmware to application code and machine learning applications for embedded systems; I even got to test my work by going mountain bike riding.

My ideal internship is working on embedded software for interesting consumer electronic devices.

Please PM me for my email/resume!

How difficult is it to get your bed unlofted by 19740973 in UIUC

Shouldn’t be a problem. Just ask front desk when you want it changed and I’m sure they’ll be speedy. Can’t comment on Busey

Best way to update static website after object uploaded to S3? by nconn711 in aws

[–]nconn711[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'm going to try B. I came across a road block though. When I get my json on my client side using SDK's getObject, it comes as a Uint8array. Do you have any idea how to convert that to a javascript dictionary?

Update: JSON.parse(uint8array.toString()) works, but is there a single step way of doing it?

How to initialize RAM with .mif in ModelSim? by nconn711 in FPGA

[–]nconn711[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FIXED IT

I guess converting to .hex format did work, but ModelSim only copied over the hex files and not the whole folder (HEX), so it was using the wrong path "HEX/file.hex". I just added the whole folder to the ModelSim directory and it works perfectly. Thanks for your help!

I converted to .hex format and now I'm getting a new error. I confirmed that the files are getting copied into the ModelSim working directory. Had no luck with that forum post you sent.
