@Marla Don't forger Dave Tweed. He's a juggernaut of a moderator, although it may not be apparent from the member's standpoint. Perhaps that makes him a stealth low observable juggernaut moderator.
@NickAlexeev thank you Nick. I meant all of the contributors, and Dave Tweed is certainly among them. I am amazed at the quality of people the EE SE has
@Asmyldof I posted a question in META that I now am embarressed with. I asked that the giants hesitate before asking questions, so that others like me could answer, so that future moderators could be bred
I now know the scene in this SE, and regret my question, but I wouldn't erase it
Good news is the Boss and I made a plan to get some of that back into me (the part time job is full time wearing me out last weeks), so who knows
Well, often I don't think they can be answers.
They may answer the main issue at hand, but I find I want some body to my answer for it to be worth reading/accepting/voting on and staying there for the ages
Or as others here may put it: Jeeeeeeezzzz shut up already!
I got SO tired of the "help me" blogs and sites. I mean no dis-respect, but the android communitiy is such a bag of gas, "my phone won't do this", I feel so much at home here with professionalism
And I love the fact there's is weirdness and shoptalk mixed in chat
Like, one moment finding in @PlasmaHH a great help to get through a horror freelance job, and the next seeing people star me misusing a Keysight in a tipsy mood
@Marla Which is why the girls actually end up doing better if they stick with it in college --- because they don't think they already know everything, they will actually learn stuff.
Random question: Does anyone here use Segger's JLink debugger? I've had one for a while now and have been happy with it in Linux. I tried downloading the software package for Windows recently and it's not passing the Windows Defender virus scanner.
Wondering if anyone else is seeing the issue. I reached out to Segger and they were able to repro on older virus signature definitions but claimed that the problem went away after downloading new definitions. I've updated mine and am still seeing a problem :/
If someone knows of a prototyping solution for driving several LED's at >75mA I'd be grateful.
I've taken 8 LED's out of an existing product. They appear to expect 70mA to 100mA for max brightness. I've looked around for breakout board solutions to dimming or driving these LED's but most breakou...
Asking for a reference/link to where I can better understand the logic behind killing a question is pretty fare. Calling this a "shopping" question isn't clear — gesell23 hours ago
SE has rules. He doesn't agree. He leaves. Problem solved.
Oh, and now he's misreading my comment to think I agree with him. Just, great...
somehow each se site has similar "problems". at least those that should be taken seriously. so maybe that is a good inicator. if people complain about not being spoonfed, then its a good quality se.
it is possibly because on cr you don't have people with that deep and big amounts ot knowledge as well as questions requiring it to do so, thus you don't have the amount of, ahem, personalities that we need here...

He is very 007 about the fact he ought to be an Engineer
If you have a low noise pre-amplifier, which you connect to an oscilloscope (already raises my ??!?!?!?!?!?-hairs), and you don't know what red, black and neither of those mean...
Quit. Start knitting
As I thought, he's using it wrongly anyway
With that amp he'll only be measuring switching noise
And also, if your current signal is below 10mV.... boost it to 10mV with a different. what I strongly suspect to be 5% resistor
@PlasmaHH There's no reason for the earth connection to be positioned in between positive and negative, especially not when bipolar supplies are common enough. — pipe6 mins ago
This whole train of thought (that I was just put on by the other question) is an exercise in X-Y problem solving. First of all is your amp made to start at 100kHz, at which point you measure switching noise at best. Second of all, if your DC current causes less than a mV, you just need a bigger resistor, possibly followed by a bigger capacitor to take the peaks out. Total cost less than a dollar, savings 98%. Unless of course you have one of those fabled FPGAs that runs on 0.1V — Asmyldof37 secs ago
Hm, I have been wondering... the house owners said that one day they want to install solar panels so in a certain area we need to leave some way to access it... when they really do it, I could tie in there with a dummy load that instead of dissipating it as heat, boosts the voltage up to whatever that solar things currently need... 10kw dummy load without having to sit in underwear in the lab?
point being that I dont like wasting electricity plus it gets horribly warm when you constantly dump hundreds or even thousands of watts into resistance
In fact, you could hybridize our discussions into storing it into a battery array (that also feeds your stair lights!?) and when they're full run a mid-V DC peltier based climate control on it
Heck, you could store all of it in heat or cold of your choosing in an insulated vat and blow air into your house of elevated or lowered temperature using it
I'm starting to think I might, after all the other ideas you and @Marla gave me the last month, build a peltier based dummy load. :-P
@PlasmaHH Actually, it's very easy to extract energy from a molten blob of copper, seeing as molten copper is insanely hot, you can use it to boil water to make tea, or soup. Or you can throw the blob in a filled bathtub to heat the water and have a bath, in a futile attempt to wash away all the cynicism.
I dont know if they were ever real expectations or mere hypothesis; no one said yet taht the experiment was a failure, just that nothing meaningful is produced anymore and we could reuse resources
@BrandenBoucher Old news. And somewhat yes, but, you know, we work with what we have and get, and it'll always be a level playing field for those who keep learning
@Asmyldof, as far as ARM, I think that's one of the benefits, actually. I don't thing MC has ARM-based procs. But it's the overlap that I think is actually going to hurt developers more.
@BrandenBoucher I'm not too worried. It'll take long enough and I'm already only using about 3 different Tinies very actively, next to an XMEGA or two and then there's the ARMs, which apparently will be safe for a while
