  1. A good pin reference is like a map for hardware development. Here's a verified pin mapping for the JL JieLi AC6966B (AC696N series) development board, straight from actual hardware testing.

    Whether you're reviewing schematics, bringing up a custom board, or debugging firmware, having this reference handy saves hours of probing and tracing.

  2. When it comes to getting at least close to all my basic needs & wants met in a degoogled smartphone setup, I've got basically the blackberry #Key1 or Key 2, or #Unhertz titan with at least #PostMarketOS with those options having a $200-600 price range, most being $400-500.

    Or #Motorola phones and a separate mini keyboard, with #Calyx or #PostmarketOS, with a $70- $700 price range, most being under $250.

    On #smartphones heavier for me is always better, so if as I suspect the cheaper option is also heavier, that's another selling point for it.

    When an $800-900 item & setup is inferior to a $70- $250 one, this isn't anywhere near a matter of my being too picky, but rather a matter of the ridiculousness of insisting that everyone has the same exact needs!

  3. For the #electronics and #embedded crowd: a concise summary of the hardware design guide for JieLi AC695N/AC696N Bluetooth audio SoCs.

    It offers crucial DFM advice: you MUST provide test points for the programming pins (USB, power), as the small QFN package necessitates programming after SMT assembly via a USB connection.

  10. A quick public service announcement for my fellow hardware tinkerers and embedded developers using the KT148A sound chip.

    When you interface its one-wire serial port with your microcontroller, always include a series resistor.

    The Rule: Use a 1KΩ resistor for a 5V MCU, and a 100Ω resistor for a 3.3V MCU. This simple step makes your design more robust.

  11. For developers and engineers working on #SmartLocks and #IoT devices: Choosing the right voice prompt solution is critical.

    Most use buzzers (low-end) or OTP voice chips (mid-range). The limitations of OTP—inability to change audio, inventory issues—are a real pain.

    It simplifies #HardwareDesign and inventory management, making it a robust and cost-effective choice.

  22. After getting a basic ALU design done yesterday & starting a **very** rough start at a microcodeish thing, today the first design of the controlunit & overall cpu design comes together, so it can actually calculate an addition from two arbitary registers and store the result back into a register of choice! :3

    Still a lot to go but excited it works already somewhat! #hardware #fantasyconsole #diy #verilog #systemverilog #software #cpudesign #hardwaredesign #fpga #fpgadev
