It hadn't occurred to me that PATA/IDE could be so simple to speak. Now I'm excited about the possibility of being able to dump a 25 or 30-year-old IDE drive I have that my USB adapter doesn't want to talk to (via anothe

It sounds like the solution was always left as an exercise for the reader in the day-to-day dealings of the group even among the members: "Each participating country was supposed to perform its own decryptions. This is common practice

Anyone getting an air quality monitor specifically because of an interest in CO2 needs to be a bit wary, a lot of them claim to have a CO2 sensor but are actually just predicting CO2 levels based on other sensors designed to measure human o

Seems like there's a bit of room for confusion in the stuff surrounding the two. Would you guess "PYNQ - Python Productivity for ZYNQ" is a set of python bindings for this Zynq's API or for the FPGA? Especially seems lik

Yeah, a 16K Spartan 6, 64MBytes of DDR3 RAM, and an FX2LP USB High-Speed controller is a pretty terrific repurposed FPGA dev board in the vein of the chubby75 or panologic, even if the high-speed ADC turns out to have too many limitations &

There's not a lot of reason to stick with micro USB even for hobbyist projects. You can get USB-C "charging" receptacles that only breakout 6 contacts in any combination of SMD/PTH on the contacts and the mounting pins.

Hmm, that $100K stretch goal is pretty much required for me to be able to use this instead of a yubikey. I wonder how likely it is to be met? The whole "we have to avoid GPL3 code so we're able to keep 'normal' people &#

The Pocket Operators are just a generic DAC+amp chip, the Cirrus CS42L52. The DAC is driven by a 48MHz MCU with just 32K of RAM. If it were purely a question of technical / hardware capabilities it would all fit into an app ten times

My understanding is that A2 cards are generally slower than A1 cards IF you don't have host-side support for managing the volatile-RAM caching that A2 requires. So if the Pi 4 only allows you to run in A1 mode anyway, you're bette

Probably because they don't care if it's made by STMicroelectronics or by GigaDevice. Most likely it is made by GigaDevice, but maybe they thought calling it a GD32F103C8T6 would be meaningless to many people and calling it an STM

It requires you to click a checkmark box for "I agree to the restrictions" to add it to your cart. I suppose that's what they consider to be restricting your usage to their approved use cases, not copyright.
