I haven't looked at bluesky for a while. Anything new?

I'm going to build a stationary garden protecting robot. Solar powered with battery. Wifi and a camera. Plus a motion sensor and noise emitter. Some ability to make abrupt motion. What processor/platform would folks recommend? #electronics

#Caturday Franklin should not be on the counter!

Bad things come in threes: 1. Chip (8 pin) installed backwards 2. Inputs to said chip swapped 3. Wrong SPI mode Fab error, design error, software error All good now 🙂

#electronics Got some boards back from fab on Tuesday. One rail didn't come up to voltage. Took me until Friday to find the culprit. Chip installed backwards. Orientation marking was not as shown in the data sheet:

Hey @bluesky Why is my feed empty?

I'm looking for a microprocessor eval board for an ST32 family that has USB and LAN interfaces plus a SPI port and a few GPIOs. Any Bluesky microprocessor gurus out there? Sorry for the long sentence!

@bnguyen1.bsky.socialwhy are you following me but have zero posts?

I'm about to release a 6 layer, 3"x3" board to fab. I always get nervous. What mistakes did I miss? In my entire career, I've had 3 perfect PCBs. I call them gems 💎.

So, I learned something recently. If you use a RF (or optical) detection diode that produces an output proportional to the input power (not input amplitude) and then measure the output - you need 2X the dBs on the observed output to cover X dBs of the sugnal input.

@dremikoaidaichi.bsky.social How do you have 100+ followers with just 3 posts?

Merry Christmas to all

I hope Syria can install a reasonable government and be happy.

I did my first lead free hand soldering today. Way more challenging than I expected!

Here is my first technical post on bsky: Looking for a USB dongle that has a SPI interface and 4 (or more) GPIOs. Any suggestions?

Lights are well distributed! Ornaments next!

Frankie wishes everyone a happy Thanksgiving

Can anyone recommend a USB dongle that has a SPI interface and at least 4 GPIOs?

My wife has adopted two rescue kitties for her office. Cali and Emma.

I like seeing RF geek stuff on my feed! Bring it on!

Question: Am I weird not caring how many followers I have? I just like seeing what others are up to who have similar interests. I used to be really impressed with my Twitter feed, pre Musk. I'm starting to get that impression with Bluesky. I hope it succeeds.

Shadow was a good kitty.

@cszhu.me is this you from Twitter? Different photo...

There should be a way to make photos appear as thumbnails until you click one. I prefer a more compact format.

Any other RF, DSP, FPGA, feedback controls, PCB geeks out here?

The photos on my feed are too large!

I'm curious to see if Bluesky has a bot problem or if they prevent it. AI could be used to detect BOTs. If they get this right, it will add tremendous value to the app.

Is there a way to make the feed more compact? Smaller photos?

This is my sister-in-laws cat, Franklin. He likes getting pets. Until he doesn't. Then he bites you. The end.

This is my first post on Bluesky. Twitter is dying. I hope to connect with other tech geeks 🤓
