@martinfasani @gojimmypi @fast_code_r_us @unexpectedmaker That is a buck converter, not a boost - but yes something like that is a better option if you need the higher current.
And I presume you used the SGM6029C variant, as none of the others can do 3.3V out.

[Kean Maizels @KeanM]

@martinfasani @unexpectedmaker Best not. Split the loads if you can, else pick a different LDO. Agree with what @gojimmypi said.

[Kean Maizels @KeanM]

@martinfasani It is even worse when the power pins are swapped

[Kean Maizels @KeanM]

@WTFJHT Only the best. LOL!

@peckmaths @abcnews That may be a bit misleading/confusing, but it isn't wrong. The PM interview is with Albo.

@w4www_raker @nuclearlighter But he said wrong answers only 😉

Big launch day on my #livestream tomorrow!
I'm finally making #RGBTouch Mini and #OMGS3 available... and I'm not even nervous about it, much ;)

@gudnotevl The zoo is indeed quite good.

[Kean Maizels @KeanM]

My wife’s sewing machine has suffered from RIFA madness. What a mess!

@LiKimmo @electrokean @digikey @arduino Works ok in separate browser, but fails within the embedded browser of Twitter/X app. So it is location cookie related, and not gracefully handled by DK websites.

[Kean Maizels @KeanM]

@LiKimmo @digikey @arduino Ah, it works in Safari but not within Twitter/X app embedded browser. So the problem is likely cookie related.

[Kean Maizels @KeanM]

@LiKimmo @digikey @arduino That link fails for me also, with error too many redirects

[Kean Maizels @KeanM]

@unexpectedmaker OMG, WTF, WOW, LOL 🫠

@General_Boobies @eevblog @senatorbabet It wasn’t Jack Black who said it, but his bandmate Kyle Gass

@GregDavill I think mine was delivered today. A pity I’m stuck in hospital…

[Kean Maizels @KeanM]

@toybuilder @MakeAugusta To get around this I’ve swapped the Prolific PL2303 to an FT232RL on a few pieces of test equipment that came with isolated RS232 to USB adapters. Same pinout but doesn’t require external crystal.
