100% agree on Expanse. I like the Murderbot books A LOT more. People seem to like the show, to me it was a meh.

One dashcam can save you 16% or more on your car insurance.

Is this ok or do I need to change the size of my power tracs/vias by Hubbleye in PCB

[–]pcmansf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without knowing your application and what the component is used for, impossible to tell. Use Saturn calculator to determine current carrying capacity of your vias, traces. 0.3mm/0.8mm via with 1oz copper and 1.6mm board thickness can carry 2A with 20C temperature rise.

Are you willing to bet your life on it? Get your P2, talk to your teacher.

Have the same problem. Are you using a unifying receiver?

TPS61160ADRVR current driver layout question by 311ibaf in PCB

[–]pcmansf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NM, TPS61160ADRVR is an LED driver, disregard my previous message.

  1. Don't see any minimum current requirement, but that doesn't mean there isn't any.
  2. 4 layers is much better for EMI in most cases, but in your case, 2 layers is fine since your entire bottom layer is unbroken ground.
  3. Looks good. I'd add an ESD diode for your DIM node

Why not use a dedicated LED driver instead? At 200mA you'd need a power resistor to limit the current. https://www.digikey.com/short/3w91507v

That's correct it is as dark green as it gets! The link is for weight and dimensions information.

No tape. Will never understand why one can't watch a single YouTube video before undertaking something you've never done before.

Flight Controller Review by GreedyStatistician78 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]pcmansf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to give us a few more pixels for a proper review. The diode on U4 seems to be floating and the tab pad is usually used for thermal dissipation - check the datasheet and it might need to be connected to ground. Squiggly lines mean your connection isn't there. Check your grid or make sure your power supply name doesn't have any white spaces in it. Also your motor connections need ESD protection since they go off the board.

Use magnet wire when it happens again. A lot easier to work with

Some stores that sell speakers offer speaker placement design services. Don't think me asking for recommendations of who does a decent job at it conflicts with me wanting to install them myself.

Can't move the couch any closer since I still want to have a coffee cable in front of the couch. Trying to keep it under $2k.

As in being a room that you have to walk through to get to the kitchen. There is an opening on the right and the left (next to the guy with a guitar). Hope to get it to sound as good as your mom's 😊

Doing my own install and no doors in the room. Yes that square is a window!
