At that point you're probably blowing up your verification/validation space to where it might be intractable , in both a machine and human sense. People have done research work in formal methods all the way down to the assembly l

Not only are most third-party crimp tools kind of marginal, but if you're buying connector kits of Amazon/ebay/Aliexpress etc you're getting knockoffs too, so you have a lot of degrees of quality freedom between your cri

> Except I don't think there's any services at that price point for cable harnesses. I don't know of any either, but you can design around ready-made cables. Mouser and Digi-Key carry a pretty big selection.

I didn't know about the Cromenco camera but I remember seeing the trick in electronics/robotics books from the seventies. Micron sold a windowed DRAM for that purpose back in the early eighties, and I think a camera too. There w

It's really exciting what's going on with things like Tiny Tapeout/Efabless/ChipIgnite and whatever Google is sponsoring - I have a hard time keeping the players straight - as far as education and ambitious hobbyist use.

It's not bad at all, though the organization is a bit funny. I get the impression of an organization that knows a great deal struggling to get it all down on paper. Specific references to programming languages, tools, RTOS choices, e

Well, now you know where they got it from.

I think they package many of their chips in Thailand, so that's where those chips ship from. I don't know about these chips in particular.

That's very cool. Thanks. At first I thought they were just press-fit pins (see https://www.te.com/content/dam/te-com/documents/automotive/g... ) but they are not! More here: https:/&#x2F

Micrium (uC/os-ii, uC/os-iii) is open source now. Best dead-trees book for an RTOS. I haven't shipped anything on it, so I have no other opinion. https://github.com/weston-embedded/uC-OS3

I wonder how this performs compared to the "voice recognition" VCP200 chip sold by Radio Shack in the eighties (maybe early nineties?). https://21stdigitalhome.blogspot.com/2013/06/vcp200-voice-re...

That's almost certainly an achromat unless you got a screaming deal I want to know about. It's not in the same league optically as the Canon lens, which is more like an apochromat, even though you'd probably be disappointed

It's more of a "that they could do it at all" sort of feat. They're coming in somewhat cheaper (probably) and at lower project risk by using off the shelf professional camera lenses than by having tubes made for the pur

The point is it's not that inexpensive for the optics. I've worked in an interferometry lab where we used high-volume photographic lenses where we could, and yeah, they were probably an order of magnitude less expensive than s

Not that inexpensive - that's a $12000 lens with a nearly 6" aperture. The telescope itself is a fairly specialized instrument. It's more like a redundant array of very fast (for a telescope) lenses. From the paper: "

Good catch. You're right about the antenna voltage if it's system power. But it's not all that clear in the article either! Here's an example: >Most steerable antennas typically use somewhere between 500 watts and

You should show an interview example with engineering questions then. The questions in your example interview are technician-level. Checking a mechanical drawing for consistency is not an engineering task - the job that does that is "

That's -1.5 dB. Or about half the voltage at the antenna. RF engineers will do a lot for a solid dB.

Well, yes, but electric motors and drive circuitry are particularly nasty emi sources. One poor-man's susceptibility test is to run a handheld drill motor as close to your circuit board as possible. In an EV, you're driving arou

The rad lab series basically set the program for electrical engineering ever since. I have a couple too. They are also available on archive.org.
