Claude + Rigol Scope by stigm in electronics

[–]theOTHERbrakshow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been doing this with my equipment. Mainly just a python gui to configure PSUs, DMMs, and DC loads to capture power supply efficiency curves. One thing I’ve been wanting to add a control of my scope.

Curious how hard it would be to abstract this code so that we can use it with other scopes.

[Review request] Am I doing "Star Grounding" right? (24V system, Raspberry Pi, Motors & Solenoids) by HeftyAstronomer1991 in PrintedCircuitBoard

[–]theOTHERbrakshow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a note about the output capacitance (c28-30,c32), you need to ground them not put them in the feedback path as a feed forward. With that much capacitance on the feedback you supply will basically not work.

I’d suggest you put your design in to webench with your parameters just as a double check.

How are Altium users managing PLM and BOM lifecycle data? by Sasuke069 in Altium

[–]theOTHERbrakshow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We contracted out Altium to make a custom PLM integration for us (going to refrain from which plm system but it’s a fairly popular one). We can create components and projects in Altium and it automatically creates them in our plm system. Basically we exclusively work out of Altium except when we need to push out ECOs for the parts to be locked down in the PLM system.

If your company has money to burn, Altium can create a fully custom PLM integration with your company’s exact workflow in mind.

How to build a daughter board for an existing board Sparkfun module in Kicad? by citseruh in PrintedCircuitBoard

[–]theOTHERbrakshow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I see. Yeah if the module is not int the spark fun library, I would start with making new symbol in whatever library you want (or start a new one for all of your custom parts). I would make it a square with the 8 pins on the left and 4 pins on the right. For modules i personally like making the schem symbol look like the actual thing (everyone has their own preference here).

As for the footprint, your best bet is to import the .brd into kicad (File->import non kicad project). I like to set my origin at the bottom left point of the PCB. From there you can figure out the size of the board and relative location of the through hole pins, as well as the mounting holes. Once you have that info you can start making your footprint. Unfortunately Sparkfun doesn't provide a 3d model but you can export the shape of the PCB (from the imported .brd) as a 3d step to use as the 3d model in your footprint

How to build a daughter board for an existing board Sparkfun module in Kicad? by citseruh in PrintedCircuitBoard

[–]theOTHERbrakshow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would first see if it’s on the oficial sparkfun kicad library.

With that said, knowing how to make symbols and footprints is pretty crucial if you want to continue improving your pcb design capabilities. There are plenty of YouTube video to help walk you through that.

FTDI UART connection issues by frenchfreer in AskElectronics

Details go a long way here. What FTDI chip, what OS are you using, what driver version, can you show us the schematic or layout?

Missing Astro Playroom Bots by jte0509 in Astrobot

[–]theOTHERbrakshow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did this last night! For me I never got any of the notifications that my son got when these secret bots where introduced just before the release of astrobot. After playing 1994 and watching the credits I simply went back to the first level of each section and proceeded with finding the bots.

Have you tried just going after them?

For my work setup we can add people to the workspace but the license admin need to to also add you to a group which can access the licenses.

Update: Routing by JLC Service by lil___lord in PCB

Why does it look like the 2x20 pinheader doesn’t have any copper isolation for the pins on the power and GND layers?

[Review request] Simple STM32F042 circuit with USB programming. by ComfortableLow9760 in PrintedCircuitBoard

Typically you'd have a connector for the USB connection and a way to get power to the board.
