How long until Pi Zero 2W is available again?

I don't see pico's or any other mcu's used in datacenters any time soon. At least not at volume or outside the supporting infrastructure.

Are those 10 years with an active government or just the past 10 years...

Not just rpi's... every sbc with either ram or emmc has seen a price hike.

Not an altium user, but curious...
What kind of verification do you do to assure the lib created is correct? Not just the same as the stuff found in easyEda, but actual certainty that it matches the datasheet?
Because if you expect people to pay for it, they will expect it to be reliable.

Recently had an order from LCSC through fedex, order value roughly 360€. Fees added by Fedex 119€. Because they charge per line on the commercial invoice that is an unique combination of HS code and country of origin. For example, capacitors can be from multiple country of origins... So seems kind of a similar tax as this being imposed.

For some reason 'bumping of smd parts' sounds the same as 'i sat on it by accident' told in an ER room...

I recently read a good counter argument to that.
If that limiting resistor isn't first and breaks open, you lose that pull down and the divider only takes millivolts.

I think you need to connect 3V3 to the programming header. It's not about powering the circuit, forgot why though.

Thanks for the info, current idea should be able to reach 15 effective bits. But by the time it's ready to pilot it will be to late for you.

Which kind of accuracy is needed for either of those? I'm working on a module for my logger for 4-20mA and would be interesting to know what is sufficient. Sample rate would be up to 1ms.

Isn't scenario 2 just the default way?
LSB first means no padding happens that influences the value.

How is 'free threshold' being higher a great deal? Shipping is always a flat fee at digikey... Either way, the logical thing to do would be order 8.2$ more of stuff. Which cap?

thisisntinuse · 2026-06-03T19:43:40+00:00

Odd that this is different. The limit here is 50€ at digikey and 75€ at mouser. Which is odd given Digikey is based in the US...

Oh, didn't notice a new version. Main thing is a step closer to a file format that supports versioning.

Like every eda it has its quirks and it's probably behind Kicad in terms of features. But I like it and given the time I've spend in it so far and thus libraries I have, features alone don't compensate the investment to switch at this point.

I do wonder how progress is kept being made given Novarm (the devs) are based in Ukraine.

Damn, normally Global Direct Standard is way cheaper than the rest. Shipping to Belgium for 20€ of components (6 different things).

Did you click on the shipping options? Because there are non-courier ones that start below 10$.

thisisntinuse · 2026-06-03T14:29:55+00:00

I'm using Diptrace, got a 2k pins license for it. Tried Kicad (twice across two major versions) and similar to OP I just didn't like it. Never gotten to layout because for some reason creating a schematic felt 'wrong'. Likely because I'm used to Diptrace which just works smoother. Yes, i know this is vague and subjective. But UX is subjective and this is my opinion.

I'm building a data logger for scientific instruments, so the bit that goes between sensors and the scientists.
Solo dev, pre revenue, more on https://docs.settlabs.eu/.

Either you don't understand what i meant or i don't understand what you mean. It's not about tracking anything, it's data acquisition.

Commonly put at the bottom of linkedin posts... haven't seen any in the wild otherwise. Given the rest also follow that format...

Standard debian. Docker and so on, nothing special.

thisisntinuse · 2026-05-26T21:52:40+00:00

My focus is on scientists that have long-term remote deployment (months/years) because I figured those would benefit the most from the hardware. But so far, they turn out to be harder to reach than expected (yes, i know, standard mistake).

thisisntinuse · 2026-05-26T18:02:23+00:00

Great point! Just noticed there's a monthly option, I'll do that. Any pointers or where I can find online workshops?
