I am a BMS Designer, and a mediocre content creator.

@oprydai Time. Mainly time. I've collected enough equipment over the years, and have a space I could use, but the time to remodel isnt there.

Is There A New 2nd Edition Art of Electeonics X Chapters Coming? Found this on Amazon.

@AntonioSitongLi But why???

[Alex Norman @The_eetengineer]

@MakeAugusta Didn't see your first post. Glad your recovering and getting to come home.

@eevblog I think OpenAI will be the first to go. All of the other companies built on some form of business model and not just on venture capital.

@aman_upadhyay_ I use it. Its a good tool, but does take a little getting used to coming from something like solid works.

Its like KiCad is to Altium Designer. Unless your doing really complicated high speed designs, KiCad is all you need.

For #PoppyPlaytimeChapter5, who made the carboard cutouts for Lily Lovebraids?

Obviously Gracie Green was taken in the hour of joy, and it didn't appear she had already voiced the lines for Lily or intended to be that character.

So who made them? Thoughts???

@beaversteever I think most developers should have a good foundation in CS, but not necessarily the AI portion.

Knowing how the system works helps allot when you go into whatever your system's part niche is.

@QVHenkel Thats impressive from a quick proto type shop. I wonder what the durability will be.

[Alex Norman @The_eetengineer]

@simpsoka Those are some good looking displays.

@smartereveryday Feel the same way about eyeglasses. Used to buy the same pair of nikes that lasted years. Now I break multiple pairs a year.

New Mobile Electronics Lab Bag. I need something better to carry my projects and content creation accessories around.

It's a @SWISSGEAR 3636 pro tool backpack.

@eevblog Gotta protect the motherland.

@Itsfoss DuckDuckGo works really well. I use it daily. There are a few web apps I use that only work on chrome though.

I dont think we can every truly be free.

In case you ever wondered, this is what $10,000 worth of Raspberry Pis looks like.

@MakeAugusta How many rows deep?

Here's Our First Gemini Deep Think LLM-Assisted Hardware Design

We've been using LLMs for software and firmware for years... now we're trying hardware. Threw a MAX44009 datasheet at Gemini Deep Think, asked for an EagleCAD library file, and about 10 minutes later it popped out working XML. Loaded it in Eagle, checked the pins and dimensions, rolled with it. Correct pads, correct pin naming, even added a pin 1 dot and sensing element outline on tDocu. Ladyada's still driving... just has a co-pilot now 🎳

@adafruit @eevblog Interesting. 10min seems a little longer than I would've expected, but the accuracy is quite impressive. I'll have to tinker with this myself.

@SawyerMerritt But who's Amazon going to use to put up their satellites at any kind of scaled up volume besides SpaceX? Origin isnt there. It would take years for other companies launch volumes to match starlink's coverage.
