Thanks to everyone who followed me over these past 5 years as the "Gumstix Guru." If you'd like to keep following me, I'm at @CircuitForge

After 5 fantastic years at Gumstix I will be moving on to new and exciting things. I want to thank everyone who followed me, retweeted my content, liked my posts, mentioned me, laughed at my horrible jokes and shared their own content with me over the years. 1/4

When life gives you an angle grinder, make a power drill, right? 🤷

@sahajsarup I will be making a point of it

I may be changing jobs but I am still a computer nerd, family man, computer engineer, and horrible comedian. If you want to follow me where my opinions are my own and as I continue to talk about computers, electronics, and bad dad jokes, find me @CircuitForge. 4/4

Thanks to @LinaroOrg and @96boards for giving me a soap box to stand on so many times. Open Hours was so much fun. 3/4

@MakerEmilyLocke @sad_electronics @Prusa3D It's not so much that it's a delta printer, those work fine and are generally faster than most XYZ printers of their era. It's just a tad flaky and I've hacked on it a bit so I don't trust the quality of its work on even short bridges. I keep tweaking the print params but...🤷

And the built in couch? Can we bring back the bonus furniture?

[henry 🌘 @hdevalence]

this is the computing aesthetic we need to return to

[Gumstix Guru (""":deprecated:""") @gstixguru]

This. Absolutely this! 💻🦖

Jurassic Park is a cautionary tale about how you compensate IT staff :P

@sad_electronics But that would probably have a big impact on efficiency.

[Gumstix Guru (""":deprecated:""") @gstixguru]

@sad_electronics I picture this in an low power LPWAN node with a tiny solar panel and 2 small LiPOs in series. I wouldn't want a button but a voltage threshold circuit that switches the MCU off until the battery reaches >n% charged. Maybe a trim pot to control the threshold voltage...

@sad_electronics Every time you feel that way, remember that you are your own worst critic. No one dwells on your mistakes longer than you do. No one else even sees the flaws you see in your work. Your skills aren't overvalued by others, you are often undervaluing your own.

@sad_electronics SCH in white, BRD in black. Now and for always.

[Gumstix Guru (""":deprecated:""") @gstixguru]

@sad_electronics It would be neat also if it was kind of like a jupyter notebook, where you can tweak your values to match your own design/DRC and run it to get the values you need.

Well, I haven't complained about Facebook lately, so here goes:
I don't use it at all.
My wife recently posted on her wall that the kids were selling raffle tickets.
So that our friends would know.
It ends up on FB Marketplace as a PUBLIC LISTING!

@fixxxxxxer That took a while...

@sahajsarup Most expensive empty cardboard box I've seen in a while...

@sahajsarup It's weird how so many people spell "program" as "app" these days.
