Yes, they are! I had never seen these kind of caps before.

I didn’t know I needed this, and now I do.

OTOH, I paid for the 16 channel MSO option on my scope, but I’ve never used it. The scope UI is just to terrible and slow compared to a Saleae or DSLogic SW.

The easy of sending data to your PC for decoding and the length of traces. I’ve used a USB logic analyzer to extract the full contents of a large SPI PROM, for example.

I had the 150-in-1. Spent a ton of time on it, but looking back, most of it was building stuff without having a clue about what I was doing. For some circuits, that would still be true today. :-)

Maybe I missed it in the (interesting!) article, but while it mentions radiation intensity, it doesn’t say how it compares to the actual radiation intensity in the LEO where the cubesat resides?

The article is excellent!

The longevity of the Cyclone II EP2C5 is amazing. 21 years after introduction, it’s still the FPGA that I use most for hobby projects.

Yeah, if that’s all you’re pulling it should be totally fine.

The 7805 is a linear voltage regulator. Its power consumption will be the current through it times the voltage drop. You have a pretty large drop of 14V, so the heat produced in the regulator could be significant. Something to keep in mind.

My projects that require custom PCBs are on hold. 🥺

“… and a baby alligator.” Because of course.

"Application of AI for modelling and structural analysis of a parametric 2D frame with voice assistant"

This has nothing to do with anastruct either.

My only explanation is that the authors used AI to hallucinate a whole bunch of BS.

I want my money back!

The paper is behind a paywall. But since the suspense was killing me, I bought the paper. There it in a black an white: "[anastruct] was developed by Tom Verbeure with the aim of making structural analysis available, ..."

I'm flattered!

It uses [16] as reference. Let's check that out...

Not very typical, I hope?
