> if a musician plays a piano in a closed room with no one to hear it, does it make a sound? I get what you're after, but that's not a very good example. If a musician is playing an instrument, then of course the…
Aside from the old-man-in-a-wooden-rocking-chair-on-a-porch tone, it seems to me that the author's beef is mainly about back-patting, and how the "Whatever" machines are flooding the pat-me-on-the-back platforms with…
This is cool, but still lagging behind VS Code. I still can't the enterprise/premium models in VS (I can in VS Code) so no Claude 4 Sonnet. I even went so far as to try some C# dev in VS Code just to see how the Claude…
It seems to me that the fundamental tenants of "education" are being disrupted here. I have always found learning in order to do things far less intuitive and interesting than doing things in order to learn. The…
OpenDTU is an open source project using an ESP32+CMT2300A for talking to Hoymiles Micro-Inverters. Local Only.
One step further. I just installed the Emporia Vue 2 in my distribution box. 16 CTs plus the three mains phases. It's ESP32 based and there is a great ESPHome project that you can flash it with for local only reporting.…
This would be great. Were using Grafana dashboards for thermal vacuum testing. Everyone is always asking for simple SCADA functionality.
I had a close friend with T1D who asked me to help him set up, and dial in a closed loop APS about two years ago. I took a deep dive into it and found it to be much, much more complicated than the PID type regulation I…
Yes, that's the role I'm looking to fill at the moment, but it's a small company, and the horizontal coupling is tight. A SWE here will be confronted with many hands-on EE and ME challenges as well (hence the on-site…
Indeed, the length of this antenna required some creativity. We have some really cool, high-tech solutions [1] for these "1-G challenges" as well. [1] https://carbospacetech.com/innovations/zero-g-robot/
We designed and built the RIME antenna for this craft. It deploys to 16 meters long and weighs only 1.5 kg! See [1] for some more info. If you are already in, or are willing to relocate to southern Germany, I'm looking…
SpaceTech GmbH | Immenstaad DE (Southern Germany) | Onsite | Full-Time I'm a SWE at SpaceTech GmbH trying to get our solar array factory up and running, and I'm looking for another SWE to help me out ASAP. We're a small…
For folks interested in a more basic, low level, open source approach to this topic, check out Electrodacus [1]. I built a small system using the SBMS0 in my camper van and have been pretty pleased with the results. If…
I just this week shared my Open-Source DIY Eurorack Module [1] with the world, so I can fully relate to the article. It is a TON of work to pull off what Thea is doing here, and then to execute it all with such exquisit…
Same here, although I find the expense of Eurorack gear (and HP even more so) limits the depth of the rabbit hole a bit. Still, I spend a lot of time reading manuals for modules I don't even own, and even more time…
Being an exemplary candidate for this article, and a hobby musician myself, I listen to new music searching for that effect where on the first listen, the hair on the back of my neck stands on end. It's exceedingly rare…
Eurorack modules are so expensive because they are mostly niche products made by one man shows (like Émilie Gillet). The exotic takes on synthesis and user interfaces are exactly what makes them worth every penny to me.…
If I might just gush here. The work made available here by Émilie has been just so damn valuable to me over the last few years. From simple but effective circuit design, to very efficient and easy to follow DSP code. I…
The village I live in has a "Kloster", with nuns making up about 15% of our population. The article is accurate in that the number of practicing nuns is sinking and certainly not sustainable. Here they have diversified…
Unequivocally yes. Most of the problems mentioned in the article simply do not apply to the single threaded, and (almost) deterministic nature of microcontrollers. The Teensy 4.0 clocks at 600Mhz with a true double…
I just yesterday managed to compile a little utility program of mine in java using openjdk 10 and then via https://github.com/moditect/moditect link together linux and windows binary packages which run on both platforms…
