Experimenting with RISC-V is one of those things I keep postponing. For those are more versed, is this really a general problem? I was under the impression that the real bottleneck is memory, and things like this would be fixed in real app

After thinking about this, I realized it makes a lot of sense given what LPL is saying. After all, if you spent a fortune in some lock and the locksmith can open it in 5 seconds flat, you’ll feel ripped off. It’s possible that a lot locksmi

I think you and I have different bars for what “expensive” means. Manufacturing things is expensive because of the fixed costs. To make it cheaper you need to make enough sets to dilute the fixed cost among N buyers. If at N=20 the price is

Ground planes are not only for high speed, the EMI performance of going 4-layers is easily one of the cheapest gains to be made in modern electronics. The other gain in this scenario is that you could tighten up the rebound times, which red

I see a lot of red flags here. They claim it’s “over-engineered”, but it looks like the opposite. The cheaping out: 1) 2 layer board with two modules (one of them a DIY arduino board). Given the price tag they could have spent $2 in going 4

I’m not that sure. Nowadays you can get runs on the cheap, that’s why group buys are even possible in the DIY community. The fully machined aluminum case probably plays a part in there too.

I don’t want to tell you what to do, but I hope in my heart that you’ll keep doing this recursively until the mask falls off. I wouldn’t even be mad if you kept the money.

Yeah, I’ve done it myself. I’ve given price estimates for complex PCBAs before designing them within 0.5%, but I don’t attribute that precision to talent, I probably get the estimates in the +/-10% and got lucky in that case.

Off topic, but I feel obligated to comment each time I see the “GAMMA” acronym. We either change according to parent company, and then we need to take the G and put an A. Or we don’t and leave the F. GAMMA makes no sense.
