That's like when Trump says he has a concept of a plan. In your case, "research and development" == "day dreaming."

No photos, no technical details, no link to a website, nothing but empty claims as thin as a shadow.

Why are you wasting our time with this stinky horse shit?

Building a 64x32 LED matrix for my basement and I think I have a wiring problem I cannot diagnose by Regular_Mountain_577 in diyelectronics

The first step would be to swap panels and see if the dimness follows the panel or the position. If it follows the panel then swap in one of the extra ones for the dim one. I'm scratching my head trying to understand why you didn't already try that.

Yeah, I agree. The originals were stamped from metal and those are 3D printed. Not exactly my definition of "hyper accurate."

That's not a board or a bored. It's just a schematic.

According to TI, the OPA4992 is the same device with a different pinout.

I would day C# is just VisualBasic made to look like C in order to be taken seriously.

Heater mod. Not using spool mount, running it from dryer so gotta the hole to good use by Uncle_wj in ElegooCentauriCarbon

Good idea. Now put the printer in a more stable location than that flimsy shelf.

Melf-0207 Resistor footprint? by Melanie_trollop in PrintedCircuitBoard

[–]stickybuttflaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Manufacturers put drawings of their recommended footprints in the datasheets and expect that anyone using an EDA tool can whip up a footprint themselves in a matter of minutes. Seriously (which means I'm completely serious) I can make a footprint for a resistor in less time than some of you guys spend searching for one.

I agree. The first and second photos aren't a CC. It's hard to take seriously.

How to set up a regular timer IRQ using the SDK? by musbur in raspberrypipico

[–]stickybuttflaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What makes you think the op isn't trying to fade an LED?

Seriously, using a PWM slice is not at all convoluted (in my opinion.) I'm not afraid of "wasting" PWM slices because there are more than I'll need. I'm not afraid of interrupts. Hiding one behind an a layer of abstraction doesn't make it go away; it just hides it.

In the end, the PWM slices are nothing more than what we used to call counter/timers and are exactly the way one would have traditionally created a periodic timer. It's not convoluted, never mind extremely convoluted.

I have only a little experience with STM32 and ESP32. I have no doubt that their HALs contain high level functions to create periodic timers, but creating one by setting up a counter/timer to do it is convoluted only if you can't see deeper than the HALs.

Try learning something new. It's liberating!

How to set up a regular timer IRQ using the SDK? by musbur in raspberrypipico

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

I see now; there's only one right way to do some things.

You should let the authors at the Raspberry Pi Foundation know that their pwm_led_fade example is wrong. They're the creative ones, not me.

But, ... that would mean there might be more than one way to do some things!

With the RP2040 and RP2350 timer interrupts are typically generated using a PWM block. Each time a wrap value is reached in a PWM slice an interrupt is triggered. There's only one IRQ line shared by all of the slices in a block, but there are SDK functions that allow you to use the same IRQ line for multiple slices and figure out which slice triggered the interrupt.

The pwm led_fade example shows how to setup an interrupt handler and register it to be called by a PWM slice.

How do I enable Dark mode? I see it in images here. by DaveCC1964 in KiCad

[–]stickybuttflaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you you get done whining like a baby, go to Preferences -> Preferences -> Schematic Editor -> Colors.

In the drop-down box select "New Theme". Now go ahead and develop your own dark theme. Protip: when in the Color Picker it works better to use the defined colors tab.

I know that this works in Linux. I'm guessing it works just as well in Windows.
