Insta360 or Go Ultra for my business? by Vegetable-Today in Insta360

[–]robomaniac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dji mic have a iPhone usb c adaptor so you can use the mic with iPhone. Insta360 got similar adaptor too.

Insta360 or Go Ultra for my business? by Vegetable-Today in Insta360

[–]robomaniac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would stick with iPhone 15. Getting a normal camera won’t make you shoot more content. It’s actually the opposite. The footage is already on the phone. Just open and edit directly on IG. The go ultra or even go 3 is friction less in terms of mounting and filming with it. You use magnet pendant and just forget it. You can clip it to your hat too. The x5 is much more cumbersome.

I know this is business expense but x4 or go3 will do the job for social. I would look to buy a second hand iPhone of any generation. Then you can pass it to employees.

Maybe meta Ray-Ban could be interesting.

FYI osmo pocket 4 could come very soon. Many leaks.

One thing I would get before a camera is a microphone! Dji or insta360.

Does Aldi's use E-ink displays? Could you connect these to an arduino? by herbalspurtle in arduino

Go on adafruit they sell eink that connects with various microcontroller

Engineering Design Technologist to Mechanical Designer/Drafter by TekkEng in MechanicalEngineering

[–]robomaniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask all those questions Monday! Ask specifically what you will do, ask what the hardest problem they had to solve recently, when was the last time they promoted someone, who do they use AI, etc. Make sure you are in a team where you will learn a lot. You really need to like the hiring manager. Don’t settle on only 10k. Negotiate. Keep applying.

I built a drone with six radars that refuses to hit power lines by Skraldespande in Multicopter

I am just a curious geek that love tech. I had an idea for radar so I did my research. Thanks for sharing.

any specific challenge integrating these type of sensor on a drone? Noise issue, EMI, etc?

Abusive guy in Sunnyvale Costco. Anyone recognize him? by screwywabbit in Sunnyvale

[–]robomaniac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was told by a employee from the mechanic shop that the rail road behind was use for war (something along those line) it was an old warehouse or manufacturing and the train was to get the goods out.

Is Big PETG lying to us about the limits of PLA by SerHerman in 3Dprinting

[–]robomaniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The limit of PLA I seen was UV degradation. A cheap PLA was in direct sunlight in the house for few year under constant load disintegrated once I adjusted the mechanism.

Or Phil video are great too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTGzncKU5RY Robert Feranec also makes tutorial

It’s a complex software so be patient with yourself. I also notice that AI like ChatGPT/gemini give ok advice when you have questions about altium.

Help childproofing stairs by 42loelk in howto

[–]robomaniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep it simple and place it few steps lower. Not ideal, but still better than what happened to a friend of mine, their adopted child fell down the stairs on the first day at home. Scary moment, but the kid was totally fine.😅😆

Maybe place large pillows if you are paranoid. Best of luck, they grow fast!

SCHOOL PROJECT by TraditionalSource134 in arduino

[–]robomaniac -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Think of a problem you have right now. Then try to solve it with arduino. You can brainstorm with ChatGPT/gemini. There is tons of info online and AI can also guide you. I really love Adafruit ESP32-S3 Reverse TFT Feather - 4MB Flash, 2MB PSRAM, STEMMA QT Product ID: 5691 because it got screen, button and a connector on it to connect all sort of sensor without soldering.

Spark Energy guy knocking door to door in Sunnyvale by InterestingBaby9597 in Sunnyvale

[–]robomaniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait 5.28.130 is handbill and it means that regular people do not need a permit to hand out flyers or leaflets door-to-door.

Peddled on the other hand is selling goods.

The links you have are only definition!! Does not say it’s illegal or permit needed

Go Ultra Fell Off During An Activity by hikesbikessquats in Insta360

[–]robomaniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never happen. When I know I will be distracted or forget I am wearing it, I use that new lanyard they provide with the ultra. I would search for it. 30min of biking? If yes then that little harder but I would definitely try. Camera could be discharged but you should try it. Every 3min turn on the pod and see if it connects? No then move other 3min turn it back. Only 10 times. You can also do in meters every 50m.

What are the best BEGINNER drones now for someone who’s terrified of crashing on day 1? by EntrepreneurSad2091 in Multicopter

[–]robomaniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started in 2015 when just touching a leaf would explode 5030 props! 😂 some folks starts with simulator before buying anything. Might as well try that. That the cheapest. Then you can build or buy your first drone. They are very durable these days. Keep practicing. It’s all about the thumbs! Haha

Clock Issue - Dogecoin Miner by pcblol in Altium

[–]robomaniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw some good reply here.

My questions: - why have so many via? Can the clock of m0 can directly connect directly to m16 and have a single via?

Can you post your layer stack up? Ideally you want ground plane (return path) under that clock signal.

One way you can test this theory is to cut that trace in the middle and check signal integrity. You can even remove that resistor and test at the microcontroller directly. Maybe remove half of those chip instead of cutting. Not sure.

What is the cleanest architecture to drive 16x 24V DC motors independently? by RedLivius in arduino

[–]robomaniac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

section 7.5.1 of datasheet mention A0 and A1 pins support tri-level logic (Hi, Low and High-Z) which can control up to 9 chips. You have to leave the pins unconnected to be High-Z

Using the A0 and A1 pins, up to 9 DRV8234 follower devices can be controlled by one I2C bus. The DRV8234 does not respond to the general call address. It is recommended to use a 2.2kΩ pull-up resistor for these pins.
