@willreil True, it's a bit dated... But hopefully it will provide you with ideas on what is necessary and what you can improve.

all this work to install flatcam and it sucks. Going to try pcb2gcode next, but if that sucks I'm just going to make my own.

@will_whang Curious... Is it a dynamic range / quality issue? Or noise?

To be honest TLV320AIC3100 doesn't sound good and I might have to look for something else later.

@lemah_c_j @DabsMalone You are wrong, not AI... R/C model helis can be flown in "3D" fashion by accomplished pilots. I have a good friend with this level of skill decades before AI was a reality. Alan Szabo is one of the all-time-greats and this video is 12 years old: youtu.be/PptMrBFAO-A?si…

@DabsMalone AI... Helicopters do not fly this way...

Quadcopters dominate today because they’re cheap, simple, and disposable But physics hasn’t changed Electric helicopter style UAVs are far more efficient, carry more, and go farther As autonomy improves and cost comes down, we’ll see them play a much bigger role in warfare🤝

@movie_tvshows_ Betty Gilpin is such an uniquely attractive woman. I enjoyed her character on the TV series Elementary too.

@learning_yohei 2 of my favorite automobile translations: 🇺🇸 / 🇬🇧 hood / bonnet trunk / boot

For example, 🇺🇸 / 🇬🇧 elevator / lift cookie / biscuit fries / chips soccer / football gas / petrol movie / film pants / trousers👈 underwear / pants👈 Which meaning of “pants” is actually correct?😭

As a Japanese person learning English, which one should I write?😵‍💫

@phoebeisg1nger Wow, that's a lot. Unfortunately, a negative side effect of posting replies to your tweets is inevitably one of those fake accounts will try to follow or DM. 🫤

Just woke up to this video message of more fake accounts here on X and I’m sick of it… I’m sick of X letting them create fake profiles knowing fully well it’s fake

@atticus_ripley @Irenezhao_ Yes, definitely one of the best US chicken places. Unfortunately, still yet to be found in Europe. So when I travel back to the US, my goal is to locate one in the airport for a "welcome back" snack.

@Irenezhao_ If you want the best chicken in Singapore, check out this charming eatery on Victoria Street. No Michelin stars, but they do have air conditioning.

Singapore is the best country in the world I like it all: 🇸🇬 Culture: Joining a 45-minute queue because "if there is a line, it must be good." 🇸🇬 People: Professional complainers who will still defend the country to the death if a tourist joins in. 🇸🇬 Hawker food: Sweating under a plastic fan to eat a $5 Michelin-starred chicken rice 🇸🇬 Safety: Using a $2,000 iPhone to reserve seat at a food court. 🇸🇬 Efficiency: Touching down at Changi and being home before the flight crew has even left the plane. Name a better country, I’ll wait

@askaya Not something I judge someone by, people are free to make their own choices. Like anything else, just don't try to push your beliefs on me. But FWIW, I can only wonder if my pig-headed father would have taken it, would Covid have killed him?

When someone tries to give you advice but then you remember they took the Covid shot

@leap_71 @HBDAdditive2015 Very beautiful and impressive rocket engines designed by a very beautiful and intelligent woman. Eh, I guess her partner deserves some credit too. 😉 100% respect.

It’s great to finally see the manufactured result in person: the largest monolithic aerospike ever produced, 200 kN, 1 m tall, generated by the Noyron Large Computational Engineering Model and produced by @HBDAdditive2015 on one of the world’s largest metal 3D printers.

@willreil Also - take a look at FlatCAM flatcam.org

It's time to become a machinist. I need to go to the hardware store to get some wood that I can use for practice.

@za_usrt Usually the top of his head

What does she see in him? 😏

@Hot_Pepper76 Herbie Hancock = a pioneer.....

"Rockit" (1983) Did you know this track helped bring turntable scratching into the pop mainstream? It was mostly instrumental, wildly futuristic for its time, and the artist won a Grammy. Do you know the artist's name behind this?x.com/calmalgodown/s…

@KeanuReevesYaga I find it sad that an honest and good man like Keanu is being used for engagement baiting. True, he's had his accidents and survived, but the last recorded injury was 2024. Folks, I think he well healed by now....

It was painful but i survived .

@KeanuReevesYaga These are the types of "fake news" posts that dictate the need for a👎Dislike button...

After a period of silence, Keanu Reeves — the beloved star who has touched millions of hearts — has finally shared an update on his health. The surgery has taken place, and while there’s still much recovery ahead, he said it clearly: “I’m fighting. But I can’t do it alone.” 💚

@kureha_pmb I like the look...

本物の前髪もオン眉にしたくなってきたあかんやっていい❓後悔すると思う❓やっていい❓❓

@TaraBull Scratch another musician/performer from my playlist...

BREAKING: Pearl Jam is calling on its fans to urge sentors to vote AGAINST the SAVE Act

#CounterPoint Another fine example of how humans hate change, especially if forced. Auto Start-Stop has never been officially mandated in Germany. Yet most of the autos mfg'ed from the early 201x time frame come standard with this feature. Auto mfgs designed and install starter motors with a considerably greater cycle rating and other required components too. Batteries were upgraded to higher capacity units and oil systems design for better drain control for bearing lubrication. Manufacturer testing and SAE papers show no significant extra wear even after simulated high-cycle tests (e.g., equivalent to 100,000 restarts). Real-world tests (e.g., AAA, SAE) show 5–7% fuel savings (or up to 7–26% in city driving), with no offsetting major durability penalties in modern cars. And fuel not being burned obviously reduces emissions. In a way, this ranks right up there with the seatbelt law. Everyone complained about it at first, now it just is...

@Cat5SMASHICANE Ouch....

Here's the perfect example of a very bad idea. This guy was knocked completely out. I wonder if he ever woke up? 🤔

@blind_via I feel the overall external dimensions factor should be based on needs like limited PCB space. Arrays generally do not compete pricewise with discreet passives, even if PNP costs are included.

Custom PCB packages are at the discretion of the manufacturer. No real standard for resistor packs, so the manufacturers can do it how they see fit. If you know of a resistor pack footprint standard share it. Which is better: overall external dimensions, or 4x discrete method?

I've utilized PartsBox for ~5 years and it's served me well. A hair over 1k part numbers, 1.7M comps in inventory and hundreds of projects. PartsBox was created and is run by Jan Rychter, who is the founder and primary developer/engineer. It's his personal bootstrapped project and I'd bet he's open to feature requests.

@HiFourPac I mean build or buy depends heavily on time-to-build, a lot of software is very easy to build now. This is not too easy but you get the added benefit of just adding on features whenever you want. I will probably end up buying for a couple months (at least)

chat do I just pay for partsbox or vibecode it my self? any alternatives for electronics BOM management with built in cost breakdown integrated with most suppliers?
