It's computer vision focused and might have been suggested previously, but I think Halide is a pretty good/mature demonstration of one way to approach this - writing the algorithm …

Agreed. Tooling like this also needs far more careful structuring of the inputs than a thin wrapper like this. It burnt a bunch of tokens and filled the context reading all datashe…

I'm your target market - averaging a few dozen board designs a year with complexity ranging from simple interposers to designs at density limits with large US+ FPGAs. I'm always lo…

Enjoyed the paper, thanks. While there was brief discussion about environmental influence due to temperature and environmental EMI, it would be nice to get an idea of how this appr…

Mostly used for biological targets, laser induced ultrasound is pretty impressive.

For two DRP (dual role) devices connected to each other, I believe in a default case the one that happens to advertise as a source first just becomes one. The standard allows for a…

There’s a lot more to it, but I attribute a lot of ‘better in some way’ to microcontrast followed by how the lens handles the transition to out of focus detail.

Yep, variations have popped up in the DIY community over the years. Slightly modifying/abusing the cheap DLP resin printers is more effective because they're essentially a controll…

This is all fairly normal in robotics, under a subset of (slightly overloaded naming sorry) “impedance control”

You might enjoy https://github.com/scottbez1/smartknob The complexity of this approach (ignoring the display and flair) unfortunately means you won’t see this used too often due to…

Their single board computers intended for robotics/edge have had a history of being poorly supported and stuck on old kernel versions.

It’s less torturous with other brands of 2D printer. Both my Brother laser and label printer have worked first time, every time with Linux, Windows and iOS AirPrint.

Some people have different views on what’s an embedded system, but hardware serial, USB and Ethernet are tablestakes for interfacing with any most industrial hardware or for roboti…

For some/smaller parts. Once you start going higher than Artix or the token Kintex parts you need to pay up.

Have a look at this (and other repos/website) https://github.com/30hours/blah2

That sound has a name - sibilance

You just buy the microcontrollers and put them on your custom PCB. The devkits aren’t suitable for resale but there’s no additional licence when you buy an ARM micro from pretty mu…

Just tacking some detail onto "promote open science". CERN was/is a large early user and supporter of the open source KiCAD electronics CAD tooling. The downstream impact of improv…

As CAD tools go SW is on the lower end of the scale. Though the price increases have been feeling pretty abusive in the recent years. Creo has come down relative to it's ProE days …

Also in the more recent ‘Light and Magic’ ILM doc series.

While it’s probably not perfect for everyone, I know hyprland exposes the events you’d need for this, accessible via IPC.

I’ve been bitten before but the risk/reward is probably worth it for parts like that. Thanks for your write-ups btw, been following glScope development for a while.

That's low-end Zynq and Artix and I'm thinking more >676 Kintex, though I appreciate any discussion on sourcing. In the way that that Aliexpress vendor lists the 7010 parts at 1/10…

Will do. Not too worried about trying low cost parts to gain some minimal confidence in a possible source, they're compelling for weekend side-projects at least. I've previously st…

I was interested to see, or at least what state they're in so I grabbed a couple. Might try to compare them against some genuine ones with CT and destructive inspection. On the cha…
