Good day, who knows any LCD display vendor, that has small LCD around 20mm*20mm rounded shape. Or a rectangular shape around that size that uses I2C or SPI protocol. Need it in a design. @PCB & Analog @MCU, MPU & Firmware

Ok let me do that

Hii guys,
What is the best burner/programmer for the AVR microcontroller that is universal and can program most of the AVR chips?

I use AVR ISP MKII Programmer but if you want to save a few $ then the AVR ISP Programmer with USBasp firmware would also do the job.

Camila_99$$•3/7/24, 5:39 PM

Aah yes actually that’s what I’m looking for

Camila_99$$•3/7/24, 5:41 PM

@Umesh Lokhande Thanks for the quick response

CCamila_99$$Aah yes actually that’s what I’m looking for

Umesh Lokhande•3/7/24, 5:46 PM

Welcome! I've used both programmers with Windows and Ubuntu Linux with AVRDude both work like a charm

Considering the saying "jack of all trades, master of none".
What have you achieved mastery in?
If none yet, what would you want to become a Master of.

I like that question. I want to master the honesty towards myself. If we are talking technology it is ARM, U-Boot and Linux.

techielew•3/8/24, 2:08 AM

Nice question. I'd really like to master HDL

techielew•3/8/24, 2:09 AM

How about you?

Budweiser•3/8/24, 2:09 AM

I'd like to master rf circuit design, I have worked on the digital signal processing/software side of RF, but not done the hardware side

Budweiser•3/8/24, 2:10 AM

@techielew you ever heard of ModelSim?

techielew•3/8/24, 2:11 AM

Oh that's a good one. That's like a dark art only known to the Scandinavians lol

BBudweiser @techielew you ever heard of ModelSim?

techielew•3/8/24, 2:11 AM

I thought it sounded familiar and then looked it up and yes I have. Have you/do you use it?

Budweiser•3/8/24, 2:11 AM

when I worked in FPGA development I used it

Budweiser•3/8/24, 2:12 AM

I used VHDL, before doing anything further down the pipeline, I'd make it first work in ModelSim

Budweiser•3/8/24, 2:12 AM

if you want to e.g. learn VHDL, I extremely recommend using that, you can learn VHDL on that level much like you learn a software language

Budweiser•3/8/24, 2:12 AM

try out implementing basic digital circuits, simulate them, validate them..

Budweiser•3/8/24, 2:13 AM

you can also feed in data from files, and save output to files, so can already simulate signal processing stuff there

Budweiser•3/8/24, 2:14 AM

this is not going to get you all the way to making (functional/good) FPGA designs, but if you come from zero and have nobody else to guide you, then having all steps at once is a bit much, maybe do this, afaik ModelSim is free (at least it was some years ago)

Budweiser•3/8/24, 2:14 AM

so you can just download it, write your code, and simulate it

techielew•3/8/24, 2:14 AM

I was just looking for a free version

techielew•3/8/24, 2:14 AM

looks like it was when altera was still it's own version of altera

Budweiser•3/8/24, 2:14 AM

so just get an old version

Budweiser•3/8/24, 2:14 AM

for this purpose that won't matter

techielew•3/8/24, 2:14 AM

yeah i'm on the hunt

techielew•3/8/24, 2:15 AM

thanks for that tip. i'm in the process of slurping navadeep's brain but i'm sure he'll get tired of that soon haha.

Budweiser•3/8/24, 2:15 AM

it's just a way for you to get started very fast, and just get going with trying things out, also simulating VHDL by other people, on opencores or github

Budweiser•3/8/24, 2:15 AM

and alternating it

Budweiser•3/8/24, 2:15 AM

as a next step

Budweiser•3/8/24, 2:16 AM

I think that is a really neat way to pivot into digital design

Budweiser•3/8/24, 2:16 AM

also there should be a bunch of code examples in there already

techielew•3/8/24, 2:16 AM

techielew•3/8/24, 2:17 AM

Thank you! This looks fun

Budweiser•3/8/24, 2:17 AM

do that for some time, when you are confident with doing digital designs up to that level

Budweiser•3/8/24, 2:17 AM

get some low cost FPGA board (under 50€)

Budweiser•3/8/24, 2:18 AM

do some very simple designs that are small relative to the FPGA, those will probably run even without any tweaking, or only minimal tweaking

Budweiser•3/8/24, 2:18 AM

when you aren't on the limits of your hardware.. things are fairly benign

Budweiser•3/8/24, 2:19 AM

lots more to say of course.. but that's a good starting point I think

techielew•3/8/24, 2:21 AM

yeah that's great. tbh we are getting a couple fpga-based eval platforms sent to us under embargo. i was going to give one to navadeep and give the other away after an unboxing, but maybe navadeep will have to give his away now

techielew•3/8/24, 2:21 AM

thanks i really appreciate it

techielew•3/8/24, 2:21 AM

so, what type of rf?
