@hasanthesyrian Just spread a bunch of flux all over the board and go in with a hot air tool. Can't possibly make things any worse.

Yeah, do not use a stencil to solder big boards. The solder paste dried by the time I had placed all components - which I actually predicted and tried to mitigate by placing all components on a 1:1 scale printout, then moving them from the paper to the PCB.

@SipeedIO @bretweber Amazing stuff. 👌

@BTChannon @bretweber I built the initial working prototype; our engineers will handle the subsequent polishing and optimization.

@BTChannon @bretweber There are other more people working on production related matters~

@SipeedIO @bretweber You are one guy doing everything? 😮 What?!

@bretweber It is me😆

@blind_via Maybe it serves to protect against shorting the can to the MLCCs underneath. I imagine cans that big might have a fair bit of flex to them.

After removing these large shield cans from the PCB. I noticed the kapton tape on the inside of the shield. Looks like themal installation. This might actually help prevent the parts inside from reflowing when removing the can.

@politicswarblog @GreenTextRepost >looks down upon normies >thinks Apu is Pepe You're one of them, newfag.

@GreenTextRepost I posted this on my private Facebook account filled with normies and they liked it quite a bit. I think everyone likes Pepe now.

@GoneFishin8gain @i2cjak Document SLAZ742F, chapter SYSPLL_ERR_01, if you're curious.

@GoneFishin8gain @i2cjak Example: Starting the PLL (according to the errata) requires configuring, locking and then disabling it 5 times in a row, while checking the error bits, to make sure that it doesn't lock to some other multiplication ratio, because that apparently is something that just happens.

sometimes the best part is no part. The MSPM0G150x (yes it has MOG in the name) has comparators fast enough for some applications built-in! Op-amps too! Voltage reference too! A Cortex-M0+ with 128KB of flash and 32KB of RAM. We truly do live in the future.

@TOvermatch @the_engi_nerd @random_scrub @HikiPTG Uh, no. Fiber optic gyros are considerably more resistant to shock damage than MEMS.

@the_engi_nerd @random_scrub @HikiPTG There are also MEMS gyros, which while still technically mechanical last basically forever and are much more shock resistant for the most part.

dad: the gyroscope on this thing was mechanical, so it failed after a couple years me: yeah it's unfortunate that gyroscopes have to be to detect gravitational orientation dad: nah you can do it with lasers, no motion needed me: what dad: yeah look it up me: ...what

@LutherEvel @Deuskek @Rich_Cooper In his defence, he's only ever driven cars in games.

@blind_via We've used blind vias at work before. The cost increase wasn't that significant, because the boards themselves were already expensive and the BOM even more so. For personal projects, I probably wouldn't use them ever.

Blind and buried vias are almost never justified use for the cost increase. Only when you don't care about cost do they come into play. And lets be real, everyone in this community cares about cost. Maybe I am wrong, have you used blind and buried vias on your personal PCBs?

Marketed as an audio power supply filter, but is actually just a bunch of capacitance thrown across the power rail. The majority of the capacitance comes from ceramic SMD caps, well known for their microphonic effect. Audiophiles really are retarded. 🫤

@RusGarbageHuman "He objects to having a cavity search done, so obviously he must be hiding something up his bum. We will use three fingers, to make extra sure nothing is stashed in there."

Digital strip search, zero privacy for you. A red carpet for the blacks and indians. O Canada!

@Habaja126894 @ngxson Those are euros.

@ngxson ….so? It’s only four dollars more it’s not like you have to take out a loan

Thanks to EU, the ESP32-C5 I purchased last month for 6.59€ now costs 10.59€ Throw democracy out of the window I guess?
