@Marla sounds like he advocates doing difficult heart surgery to cure a cold for first semesters to see what could go wrong

It looks like American express tries to get into the German/European market again aggressively... Let's guess if it turns out the same as the last times

Q: Does this appliance break UK safety laws?

Sod AlmightyGood evening. I recently purchased this active suction SMD pick-up tool from AliExpress: When it arrived, it seemed to work fine. However, when I opened it up (to investigate the feasibility of adding a switch), I was less than impressed with the build quality and safety of the unit. (I was a...

@Asmyldof I'm not going to spend $20 for a rotary encoder for an arduino project.
I made it work reasonably well with some really interrupts. #CloseEnough

@Allenph Given that you are disinclined to spend $20 on a component, are we expected to spend $howmuch of our time debugging your cheapshit Arduino project?

@NickAlexeev Didn't ask to debug. Just asked if you'd seen that behavior in a rotary encoder before.
