@Combat_learjet Obviously my video is not as spectacular but saw 2 jets flying over Windermere in England yesterday. Quite the surprise.

Raspberry Pi has two new chips out – RP2350A and RP2350B. Some quick stats:
- 2 x ARM M33 cores at 133MHz
- 2 x RISCV Hazard 3 cores (up to 2 cores at once, mix and match)
- 512K RAM (vs 264K on RP2040)
- 3 PIO modules (vs 2 on RP2040)
- Hardware floating point unit

@dangerousproto Seems like the perfect design. Mine’s halfway done printing now.

Google has one

@dchote @home_assistant What sensor is that for the chemicals?

[Dillon Nichols @Dillon1337]

@Prusa3D I’ve been getting the USB disconnect notices on Mini too - why is there not a fix for that platform?

[Dillon Nichols @Dillon1337]

@RichDecibels A different genre than the others listed here. https://t.co/VuEBDBvzEf

@adam_casto One of the only reasons I go to Walmart is to get the $5 fruit of the loom t shirts. They hold up pretty well to abuse.

[Dillon Nichols @Dillon1337]

@Prusa3D Very excited for that M600 change.

[Dillon Nichols @Dillon1337]

@Breakdowns120 Definitely has BMTH Off the heezay vibes

We are running an electronic design contest on our community forums! The theme is food devices. We have over $5000 in cash and free prototyping services through @MacroFab up for grabs! Sponsored by @MouserElec!

Until I read this Hal Borland passage a few days ago I never realized/noticed that blossoming plants melt the snow, and it’s because that act generates a bunch of heat

FUNGUS IN SPACE!!! 🍄🚀

Equal parts cosmic horror and nature being metal, let's talk about the lichen that grew on the OUTSIDE of the International Space Station!

Get your tea and curl up, because I PROMISE you wanna hear about these fungal cosmonauts 🧑‍🚀

@dangerousproto Thanks, I found that and ordered. Excited to upgrade from the BP3.6. And I think I had an even older one that I handmade from the free PCB program.

[Dillon Nichols @Dillon1337]

@dangerousproto It looks like the color coded aux cable can’t be backordered. Says currently unavailable. Do you plan to enable backorder on this item too?

[Dillon Nichols @Dillon1337]

@systems_glitch 10 years ago everyone was still designing with through hole parts. How things have changed for hobbyists.

[Alex Lynd @AlexLynd]

My biggest #PCB design gripe is LiPo charging 😡🔋- especially when prototyping w/ #microcontrollers.

There just aren't any drop-in solutions that charge & power on the same pin, let alone a castellated one!

So I designed ⚡️MiniMeter⚡️- a tiny charger & I2C battery meter! ⬇️

@tubechip404 Workaround for a delay problem in an ASIC?

[Dillon Nichols @Dillon1337]

@ATaylorFPGA A place I struggled with is failing timing so general advice around that topic would be appreciated.
