Yes. I learned CAD on my own...not saying "self taught" since I used other people's videos and guides sometimes...but more "self guided" which is how I would probably describe most of my learning. I was also the &

There are iterations...the design isn't usually done. But they evolve as I work on the idea. Taking off parts and swapping out others. It was really nice learning CAD design for this reason...being able to properly get the designs int

It is funny. Until I read Tesla's stuff I had no idea that not everyone does this. I visualize and tear down machines and designs in my head. Design in my sleep...etc. Sometimes when I am describing a machine and how it works my han

A local tech school I work with the teacher does attendance by the phones. They are to be put in a cabinet in a small bin. If they are not there...the kids do not get listed as being in class. Yes...There are a couple kids with no phone...

Well...My town is Coeur d'alene, ID. So not far off from Tahoe. Although, just 20 years ago people laughed if you told them you were from Idaho. This was the place in the middle of nowhere that nobody wanted to live. The majority of

My electronics instructor did this really well. He would use multiple colors of chalk and draw dashed lines perfectly, also just as fast as he could draw a normal line. Really nice to see it done well. I never used chalk enough to develop

Added the video that explains it in the edit above. If you put in the same battery it isn't an issue. You need to recode if you change the size or type.

Buy an OBDeleven or VCDS if you own a VW and are doing any work on it yourself. You can also adjust features (roll up windows with remote, etc). Run diagnostics in real time while driving, test every switch/sensor on the car. Also, it

I bought a Brother HL-2140 at least 15 years ago on sale for less than $100. Still using it. Replaced the drum, toner, etc. with all 3rd party stuff. Prints forever on a toner cartridge, cheap, almost always works. I print regularly for

This actually just bit us on a project recently that has a comparator with an open drain output. STM32H7 internal pullups are in the area of 40k ohm. Datasheet for the comparator called for 1-10k ohm. I can absolutely see I2C having issue

Funny thing about the feedback. It helps the buyer more than anything. It became meaningless when you stopped being able to leave negative feedback for the customer. [1] I remember having a discussion with customer support about this &q
