@inner spade: i was looking at the wrong channel on my mixer; indeed reading 20dB lower than nominal as it was referencing output and not the youtube stream....

young adder Oct 25, 2018, 8:37 PM

#

A neotrellis plugged to a Raspeberry Pi zero configured as a gadget (seen as a keyboard from the PC) and you get a nice interface to send commands to OBS or a music composer software

inner spade Oct 25, 2018, 8:38 PM

#

@eager sapphire That's what I figured. I'm looking directly at the stream audio.

The mixer said it was looking at raw WAVE input, but it certainly wasn’t; I used a reference -6dBFS wave file and saw it was being a bit shy

#

Thanks to @haughty quiver and @cinder wind , I'll be using USB connectors and terminal adapters for future versions. What a great idea!

#

The 4-pin mini DIN is okay, but not very reliable.

eager sapphire Oct 25, 2018, 8:45 PM

#

Those DINs are the old Apple-style connectors?

young adder Oct 25, 2018, 8:45 PM

I'm running out of micro controllers.. I'll have to replenish my stock !

eager sapphire Oct 25, 2018, 8:45 PM

Or full-sized hifi-era DINs?

Oh you said mini right there

@eager sapphire The old Apple and IBM keyboard-style.

eager sapphire Oct 25, 2018, 8:46 PM

#

Roger that

#

Those are also used on my Icom equipment, so saved a bit of cash by just salvaging old keyboards/mice for the radios

#

Now, i can coil them.

inner spade Oct 25, 2018, 8:47 PM

#

Yeah. I used them 'cause I had some left over from pre-historic times.

eager sapphire Oct 25, 2018, 8:48 PM

#

inner spade Oct 25, 2018, 8:48 PM

#

Trying to resist coiling everything now. Must. Resist.

eager sapphire Oct 25, 2018, 8:48 PM

#

#

Yes

#

Especially if you buy a 10 foot cable so that it’ll reach exactly 10 feet. Coil it and....not so much

cinder wind Oct 25, 2018, 8:49 PM

#

RJ-45 jacks as interconnects are also pretty cool because everyone has Ethernet cables hanging around. Too bad they are so huge though

eager sapphire Oct 25, 2018, 8:49 PM

#

You could go with the older RJ-## for telephones

#

##=??

#

I can’t recall

cinder wind Oct 25, 2018, 8:50 PM

#

RJ-12?

inner spade Oct 25, 2018, 8:50 PM

#

I have stock RJ cables but no crimping tool. Most of my RJ cables aren't very flexible, though. Maybe if I coil them...

cinder wind Oct 25, 2018, 8:51 PM

#

I have some flat RJ-45 cables that are very nice, but I think they actually may suck as Ethernet or Neopixel cables 😃

eager sapphire Oct 25, 2018, 8:53 PM

#

I finally bought a crimping set for ethernet cables as I kept needing assorted/odd/short/long sizes, and the prices for cables then were a bit much. Really handy to just build one when needed.

#

Also a biiiiig roll of cat 6, paid too much for it but....

#

Came with a tool for stuffing wires into the jacks, too. Works well, recommended. Just keep the jacks and plugs in stock, and you’re done

inner spade Oct 25, 2018, 8:55 PM

#

I found that my big roll of RG-6 and Cat5+ kept showing up in pieces in every project. Had to give the spools away to the local makerspace so that I could use silicone wire.

waxen thistle Oct 25, 2018, 8:56 PM

#

@inner spade Very nifty 😃

eager sapphire Oct 25, 2018, 8:56 PM

#

Nice, a plus for both you and the maker space

#

But I’m always running short on coax; I’d be hard-pressed to give any of that away.

#

Especially this LMR-400; got a great deal on it from Universal Radio

inner spade Oct 25, 2018, 8:57 PM

#

Understand. I won't give away my bulk RG174/u spool!

eager sapphire Oct 25, 2018, 8:57 PM

#

Ok so you’re not crazy

inner spade Oct 25, 2018, 8:57 PM

Selectively, perhaps.

@inner spade Your pre-labeled images -- are these part of a guide?

Nope, just for my own use.

Very slick, I have to say. excellent fit and finish, and labeling too

inner spade Oct 25, 2018, 8:59 PM

Thanks. It's been a passion of mine. I did write a general "front panel" guide for the learning system this year.

Build a Custom Front Panel

Your project works! Time to tuck it into a nice enclosure and create a front panel for all those knobs and lights.

waxen thistle Oct 25, 2018, 9:03 PM

#

I remember seeing that (to be fair, i haven't dug into it because....sigh....time). But my first immediate reaction was "woah. purdy."

#

Out of all the first reactions one could have, that's not too shabby 😸

inner spade Oct 25, 2018, 9:04 PM

#

I can live with "purdy." Thanks!

waxen thistle Oct 25, 2018, 9:07 PM

#

I'm a big supporter of workmanship/craftsmanship. There's a time and place for an irreverent cardboard design....but to really turn heads, a beautiful fit and finish will usually beat out a bunch of extra half-implemented features.

inner spade Oct 25, 2018, 9:11 PM

#

Agree. I like to take my time and enjoy the handwork part of the project -- it's therapy after <ahem> stressful years in industry.

Q?: Are I2C devices PCB only devices or can they be located at the end of a cable? I would like to have a single temp/humidity sensor with cable length about 10 to 20 feet long. Is that possible and what should I plan for to accomplish this? Is there a maximum length?

#

@river peak thanks a lot, this will indeed change how I design boards

river peak Nov 1, 2018, 11:32 AM

#

Happy to be of help!

waxen thistle Nov 1, 2018, 11:54 AM

#

@river peak I don't design boards, and I found their reasoning to be sound -- I learned something new 😃 (which wasn't a lesson derived from a personal failure -- a refreshing change of pace)

rare shore Nov 1, 2018, 2:15 PM

#

I definitely wasnt going to get 'board houses say they can do 6/6 mil but you'll have a lot of duds' out of calculations. So oneoffs you can somewhat safely use 6/6mil, but anything you're thinking about producing it'll end in tears

waxen thistle Nov 1, 2018, 2:20 PM

#

It all comes down to cost vs. yield.

rare shore Nov 1, 2018, 2:41 PM

#

rather than determining the electrical appropriateness of a given set of parameters

waxen thistle Nov 1, 2018, 2:57 PM

#

Well, as we all know, you're going to get non-working units. No matter what you do, in any manufacturing, you'll have waste and defects.

Processes like LEAN and Six Sigma help reduce those issues. Good companies obviously have higher yields, and can command a higher selling price of their products.

But with any business, you have to set an acceptable rate of waste/loss. Restaurants throws away spoiled foodstuffs, retail accepts a certain percentage of theft, and electronics products will have some DoA.

Doesn't matter if it's an overseas discount manufacturer or tightly controlled in-house production for NASA. You mitigate your DoA & losses by designing around failure points -- larger traces, for example.

rare shore Nov 1, 2018, 3:22 PM

#

Yea, but also none of those factors are linear, there are different factors and rates that have disproportionate impact. What I'm takimg from Lady Ada's answer is under 10mil, failures are substantially more common, because the house "can" do 6mil, but only in the technical sense

#

An example of that is intel, they've been making 14nm nore size processors for years, but they cant get saleable yields at 9nm, they spend twenty years reducing the process size at a reliable tempo, but somewhere in these 5nm the difficulty goes from "oh god why" to the sound of demons crying

#

Taiwan Semiconductor 'has' 9nm process, because as I understand it their definition of node size works out as 9nm being about 11nm in the way Intel defines node size

waxen thistle Nov 1, 2018, 3:49 PM

#

Exactly -- just because it can be technically produced at 6mil, doesn't mean it's the best idea if a successful yield is a priority. Now, if the 6mil was because of a technical limitation -- well, depends on your overall cost tolerances.

rare shore Nov 1, 2018, 4:24 PM

#

6mil is substantially easier to route around in small spaces than 10mil

#

under some conditions you can fit 2 6mil traces between 0.1" spacing pins, so you can fit 4 through on a 2 sided board; but you're definitely only going to fit 1 per side at 10mil

#

I feel like this has continued too long for this channel, but we're generally finished anyway so.... victory

I use a community 3D printer and they don't have that. 😦 But, I will make suggestions!

#

I just want to make this build so bad!

pearl shoal Nov 7, 2018, 4:34 PM

#

I'd love an itsybitsy m4 part 😃

#

Why the MK2? Why not an MK3?

#

I've found the Hatchbox wood filament doesn't do that... but it doesn't change color on temp changes either

oh have you tried one with a bunch of "islands" - its all the retractions that made it stringy @pearl shoal

got something for me to test?

#

My printer's free

#

Link to the antler?

pearl shoal Nov 7, 2018, 9:29 PM

#

So, I decided to try the antler design just to see... it's my first time w/.6mm nozzle and wood and it does string more... but nothing like what you showed (yet at least)

#

@pearl shoal Thanks Bill, appreciate the share. Pedro forgot to mention our string is most likely from the Octolapse plugin for OctoPrint – The toolhead moves away, parks the bed, takes a snaps shot, and repeats for every layer. That's gotta contribute to all the long strands of hair 😃

pearl shoal Nov 7, 2018, 11:21 PM

#

Gotcha - I'll try to get better pictures... it was exactly what I expected, but Discord didn't let me save the file for other avenues (YT)

#

I had a failure (you can see it in the pic) - not a big deal, but I think if I switched "external infill" to "concentric" it would be solved - will try that on the other antler part

#

And sometimes you get this instead 😃 #failart

In short, to avoid scammers -- and please, share this with your family/friends/grandparents:

Never trust anyone who cold calls you -- never give out a scrap of personal information.

Demand to call them back via their official number (which you find yourself on Google/their legit business website).

And ask questions -- scammers get frustrated the more you try to poke holes into their story -- if it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't.
