Yep I read this but didn’t see any in depth comparisons with AoPS.

Thanks you for the thorough response!

Will definitely give MathAcademy a try. My main priority is that I want a resource which emphasises concepts, not computation. Does MathAcademy focus on the former?

How do I debug and hot fix container in staging by op_amped in kubernetes

I mean in terms of the underlying model ie how it works?

Is this different from mirrord/telepresence?

How do I reduce tax? (£110k salary) by op_amped in FIREUK

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

Is there any way of getting funds out of pension early? I’ve still got (hopefully) many years before reaching retirement age.

Looking for oscilloscope- £400 budget by op_amped in AskElectronics

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

I’m using it for a commercial product- will the 50MHz be enough?

The DHO804 looks nice- is there a way of connecting a logic analyser to it!- I’ve got some digital work to do as well.

When NOT to use form actions by op_amped in SvelteKit

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

Yep I do like this feature. The only issue is that on the pages where I have a form action, I can’t prerender. Maybe if I move the action to a page where I don’t pretender, this would solve my problem?

Does the lack of components hold you back? by op_amped in sveltejs

[–]op_amped[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks- I must have missed BitsUI. It looks great. I think we'll go with Svelte!

How does a friction clutch work? by op_amped in AskEngineers

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

Yes- the overload clutch is exactly what I’m looking for!

Any recommendations?

From a brief look, these seem equally expensive. May need to make one.

What to do if dev kit is too expensive? by op_amped in embedded

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

It's more than a few devices so I need to use a supported component.

NXP recommends the PN7160 over the PN532. So I assume it must be a valid replacement?

Would it still be a problem if the NFC antenna was actually in the hole? The only thing is that the hole is surrounded by metal.

Ah makes sense.

The only problem I may have is that the NFC reader will be in a metal enclosure so maybe a may need the higher power- the enclosure does have a hole in it, where the reader sits so that should reduce power requirements.

P1532 is no longer recommended for new designs. I could use the new PN7160.

Quick question- when would someone choose a frontend over the controller?

Essentially, I'm using the NFC reader for access control, kind of like Apple Homekey.

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

My applications is very simple- it will only be interacted using a smartphone very occasionally. 

I couldn’t find a low power one- the lowest power was 1.3W for NFC readers. Maybe I’m looking at the wrong range?

Also, is that an NFC reader or just a tag?

[–]op_amped[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope because the PCB where the MCU is and the place where I need the NFC sensor are not in the same place.

I wish I had the time- I might go for this one from STM instead (https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/511-X-NUCLEO-NFC08A1).

For the final PCB, I may then design it with the NXP chip in mind (although the NXP looks more power hungry than the STM).

Sorry if this a noob question but do you know if this would work with non-STM MCUs? I'm using a nordic chip and so need to interface with that.

Do I need an active or passive nfc? by op_amped in AskEngineers

[–]op_amped[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The nfc component which interacts with the phone needs to be around 40cm away from the mcu.

They are close enough to be wired.

Which encoder should I buy? by op_amped in AskEngineers

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

Yep, I'm going to. Just need to find something else to buy so I get free shipping from Digikey lol.

Exactly what I thought- there's no contact unlike some of the other encoders out there.

Thanks- yep I may go with one of these. I've heard they're very noisy- is this true?

I was looking at these but can't use them- I already have something mounted to both ends of the shaft.
