Hey @Petr Dvořák the other day in the Low-cost but still excellent oscilloscopes for SOHO thread you got on the topic of Smith charts.

Do you still use them in your hardware development efforts? Can you explain how you'd use a Smith chart to determine something like load input impedance?

Curious if @pallavaggarwal @Joseph Ogbonna @Aditya thakekar or others use these methods as well and when/where they apply them.

Ttechielew Hey @Petr Dvořák the other day in the https://discord.com/channels/1130679493799...

Joseph Ogbonna•1/17/24, 1:50 PM

my last design i did using Nordic nRF52840 which had a BLE on it. Wanted to use the smith chart, but found it a little bit difficult, but was recommended to use VNA device instead for my antenna tuning it get my desired value. So i dont actually use them in my design, but its helpful to a certain point.

Petr Dvořák•1/17/24, 2:20 PM

@techielew Well, the Smith chart is not a calculator. It is a special format of logmag chart in a round form. The Smith chart gives you information how the impedance varies with frequency. For the given frequency, the Smith chart can help you with finding a corrective matching network for your antenna feed point or transmitter output. The Smith chart can help us designing a matching network. It can help to design a matching network for all load impedance values because the Smith chart is designed for a normalized values. Our equipment use 50 Ohm or 75 Ohm. The Smith chart can be used to display the impedance characteristics measured by the given instrument and the given component, transmission line, impedance etc.

Aditya thakekar•1/17/24, 3:23 PM

Aditya thakekar•1/17/24, 3:37 PM

Basically, Smith chart is built by considering impedance, it can be used to analyze resistance and reactance parameters in both the series and parallel.

Hi,

I am looking into whether I can encrypt a python script so the code is obfuscated. it should decrypt it when the script runs.
I have seen few packages to do this, like:
https://github.com/Falldog/pyconcrete
https://juanlao7.github.io/codeclose/documentation
https://changsin.medium.com/how-to-protect-python-source-code-5892a153d0ac
https://pypi.org/project/sourcedefender/

I was wondering what your thoughts are on this and suggestion for a approach you would take?

Why 10-bit I2C Slave Addressing is not widely used in device libraries and example codes? Even, I often use a 7-bit slave address. It seems to me that either 10-bit addressing is only for special cases or it's a bit of a challenge to implement in code. Appreciate any perspective, experience @abhishek awasthi @Navadeep @ShreeshaN @Aditya thakekar

Ttechielew By “when the code runs” do you mean encrypt the binary?

brotherjoons•1/18/24, 6:11 AM

Hi @techielew , encrypt the .py source code or .pyc compiled code and decrypt them on the fly so the Python interpreter could run it.
I was curious about the best practices in doing so. Thanks

ShreeshaN•1/18/24, 6:14 AM

My guess is that use of 8-bit or 10-bit slave address will add a byte more in every communication packet of data and considering slow speed of I2C, devices using 8-bit or 10-bit are not popular and adding extra implementation of addressing will increase I2C device library for small microcontrollers.

Most mcu work on the assumption that slave disables itself on not receiving matching address. 10 bit is used in STM32 series but not all support. NACK is disabled function.
