Problem Few years ago I started with Keil + STM32 dev boards. Than STM32CubeMX was released and I started using it, generating Keil project as output. This was good enough for a couple of years, until Keil free version code size limit became a problem. Than I discovered VS Code editor and with a little effort, […]
UPDATE: Windows now has multi-slot clipboard built-in. It is great. The Inconvenience A very common issue while editing any text-based work is copying and pasting more than one string, eg. replacing one item while not overriding system clipboard and still perserve this one item for further use. So far, we solved this issues with: copy
UPDATE (29.12.2021): after a couple of weeks of testing, I can confirm that all he things covered in this project are now replaced (and even better) with VS Code Makefile tools plugin. Anyway, 3 years in a such rapid changing SW development world, I consider this project a success, even though closed. This is
variable: variableType = … The Problem I’ve recently switched job and I was “thrown” into a large project(s) based on Python. I had to implement only a few simple functions, but since I was/am a newbie there, this task wasn’t so easy. The problem was, that we use a giant custom “library” – numerous files,
There was a game called Labyrinth Ljubljana, and part of its technical solution was a Control Unit which controlled our custom made flashlights over RF link with cheap chinese module with nRF24L01+ onboard. We need to cover (one way: Control Unit -> Flashlights) an entire Labyrinth house (a stall actually), about 500 m2 in two floors
This is a post about what we think is the right approach to make an indestructible cases for your DIY projects. Imagine this scenario: take a group of people and lock them in a room. Give them a flashlight and tell them that the only way out of this room is up the ladder and
Here is a reason why we used Cene the CNC for plastic milling. And here are few tips and tricks for CNCing plastics, in our case polyethylene: Use the sharpest drills you can find. Similar to milling aluminum, plastics tend to melt and stick on blunt bits and drills. Very important. We used all, 2, 3
There are numerous RC filter pole calculators online and I happily used them for a quick calculations while DIYing. The problem is that these online calculators calculate frequency pole where gain decreases by 3dB, which is fine, but what if you need to know the frequency of some (first-order) filter while given only the specifications about
