Electrical Engineering. May post a thing or two every now and then.

Working weird looking clock

[Electro707 @electro_707]

probably the most odd-ball "clock" I am about to design...

[Electro707 @electro_707]

sim time

If anyone is used Piskel, I just made a fork with an extra exporter to a bit-per-pixel C array to directly draw on LCD controllers

If you have a Ulanzi VL-49 with a broken OLED screen, a direct replacement is this one. Just replaced it on mine after the OLED somehow broke

Fun fact, there is a hardware "bug" in Waveshare's ESP32-S3-PhotoPainter design where if one shuts down the power to the audio ICs, it also takes down the I2C bus with it, which is also attached to the PMIC that controls that power line in the first place!

If you use KiCAD and KDE's Okular pdf viewer, below is a quick patch to allow copying the value from a schematic's info box that pops up

bee and duck for scale!

[Electro707 @electro_707]

it's nice when I no longer have to worry about re-doing a n entire model if I modify or delete a previous CAD step like a pad operation I no longer need in FreeCAD 1.0.0RC2, used to be such a pain point

[Electro707 @electro_707]

@sad_electronics pong!

[Electro707 @electro_707]

here is what I wanted it for.

The adapter board is so I move the tube to different circuits as needed, hoping to make something somewhat universal (castellated holes are expensive :( )

[Electro707 @electro_707]

a IV-8 VFD tube in FreeCAD.

didn't have time to make it pretty, wanted a mechanical step file for KiCAD

[Electro707 @electro_707]

@sad_electronics I don’t see the issue here…

[Electro707 @electro_707]

@DanielBogdanoff @cursedconnector @MuzafferKal_ Curiously awaiting for sim results

[Electro707 @electro_707]

@kevsmac @SGirl0311 @PCBWayOfficial This just gave me an idea: have the keys on springs with an optical distance sensor per key for a linear and “analog” press

[Electro707 @electro_707]

Part 2, where I go over some firmware stuff

This signal is directly generated from an Arduino Uno.
I’ve started a blog post series detailing my rabbit hole in this project if you want a read: https://t.co/pP7xpsOnui

@kataze @PawprintProto So this is where the cows from my physics problem went to…

[Electro707 @electro_707]

@defconpunks @beneater @OpenSauceLive Ran into the same issue when making a kit. Had to pre solder it myself before giving the kits to students which they definitely will short out (had a hard time myself)
