#circuitdesign — Public Fediverse posts

Oh, joy! Another snooze-fest about circuits 🎉. Apparently, the "Schmitt Trigger" saves the day by doing something with #hysteresis (is that a disease?) to stabilize outputs in circuits📉. Because who doesn't love an article that feels longer than a PhD dissertation and sounds like a lecture from Professor Boring? 🙄

Ah, just what the world needed: yet another "minimalistic" language promising to revolutionize circuit design by... regrowing it? 🌱🔌 Because obviously, what engineers were missing all along was a way to sprinkle some digital fertilizer on their HDL and watch it blossom into a full-grown circuit. 🌼🙄

🚀 Wow, who needs cutting-edge CAD software when you can have the sultry thrill of #KiCad in your browser, amirite? 🙄 #PCBJam is here to spice up your life, because what we all really wanted was to add the excitement of a sluggish, crash-prone web interface to our circuit design experience. 🛠️✨

Next-gen integrated circuit expert Kaushik Sengupta, writes this piece for IEEE Spectrum detailing the laborious process for designing rf chips, and the state of the art of AI-assisted rf chip design. I find it interesting that they chose reinforcement learning and difussion models over genetic algorithms for this task. Good read.

🎉 Wow, because who hasn't wished their childhood fantasy of being an electrical engineer could be fulfilled in a browser with questionable latency? ⚡🔌 Just what the internet needed: a virtual breadboard to simulate the frustration of real-life circuit failure, now with loading screens! 😂🛠️

Clarification for developers using the KT142C voice playback chip:
If you're measuring a very low voltage (~0.2V) on the BUSY pin when the chip is idle, your hardware is likely fine! This is a key feature.
After about 5 seconds of inactivity, the chip enters an ultra-low-power state, drawing only 2 μA. In this mode, the BUSY pin becomes high-impedance, leading to the low voltage reading.

@arthurfox I am deeply fascinated by #electronics and the different timbral effects that result from the #CircuitDesign choices and how this influences #MusicProduction and the appreciation of #ElectronicMusic by the listener. I also love #WoodWorking as it applies to #violins and #WoodenBoats

I could use some suggestions from electronics geeks.

I've got a need to control two active-low inputs to a buffer IC in an 'exclusive' fashion: only one of them can be low at any moment in time. I've already got pull-up and pull-down resistors to ensure that they start that way during powerup.

I'd been planning on just connecting them to a pair of GPIOs from the microcontroller, but I'm concerned that during reset, if the normally-low pin was being driven high, there will be a short time when both inputs will be low as the MCU outputs move to high-Z... I can't guarantee that the reset in the MCU will cause both pins to go to high-Z simultaneously.

Is there a straightforward circuit I can drive from a single GPIO to generate a low signal on one of two outputs in a 'break-before-make' style (to abuse an old relay term)?

The reason that I need to do this is that two of the buffer's outputs are connected to two of its inputs, so if both control inputs are low at once that will generate a circular connection and I have no idea how the buffer chip will behave.

Ah, the burning desire to warn your past self with a listicle of regrets 😂. After a year of toil, you finally realize building the “world's fastest autorouter” in #Typescript was just an elaborate way to procrastinate on actually routing circuits. 🚀 What a revelation!

As I always do... next revision started while I wait for the previous to be made. As can't believe NO bugs and was able to tweak some things for power efficiency

Just ordered parts for a very (very) old project of mine. I started this well over a decade ago to support a platform of different display types for clocks (my time nut phase.) It's unfortunately large to fit that format I had before. Moved from a PIC18 to an ESP32-S2-Mini and hoping to get back to my Nixie Tube Clock project. (Don't bother to google as never published it).

Feeling inspired after #Teardown2024, gonna do a little schematic and hopefully PCB design with #KiCad, and since one of my goals is to demystify this kind of stuff and make it less intimidating, gonna practice explaining what I'm doing, assuming no pre-existing knowledge.

So if you're curious about how electronics stuff comes into existence, come along and let me know how I'm doing, especially if you don't know anything about it yet! #pcb #circuitdesign #makers #livestream #owncast
