Currently working on the power section of my schematics design. Am using a voltage regulator of 3.3v 500mA. The total power(current) of the board at full load (when operating at full capacity) is 470mA, and the regulator has a drop out or leakage current of about 50mA. Will it still be ok for me to use this regulator or I should change to another. But the device will not always operate at full capacity, just once in a while. Will it cause any issue on the board. @PCB & Analog @MCU, MPU & Firmware
Hi, my name is Marvin. My hobby is programming and some other tech-related stuff I am not a pro, but I know some things in some areas. I joined this server to help people if I can and ask questions if I need help.
For butter results and the regulator won't heat up you have to add at least 25-30% that means you're consuming 450mA you should use 563mA - 585mA more is better , also it is recommended to use a heat sync with some thermal paste on it, because the heat effects regulator by time
Hi, I have problem about bad voltage coming from the sensor.. If i convert it to ppm I will get 400 ppm CO, that´s not possible. Do you want to see my diagram?
Hi all, I'm currently working on a computer vision project. I've written code to measure distance using a single camera, but it's not performing well. I need some assistance in adjusting some parameters. Can anyone help me with this?
What's the use case? And what stage of development are you in? If you're looking for a USB-based eval module, you could check out Arducam: https://www.arducam.com/?s=usb&id=98994. They have a decent selection of affordable evks. If you are looking for something more professional it may be good to look into a higher end camera and combine it with a carrier. Connect Tech Inc creates such carriers and they have partnerships with commercial-grade camera manufacturers. lmk which direction you're thinking.
Someone who has been working on a lot of this type of stuff is @Yash Naidu but he's been busy for a while. Let me see if I can get him to jump in for a bit.
What parameters specifically are you looking to adjust?
Its better to go with regulator of higher capacity about 1A. If you have some inductive load then current consumption could be high at startup and this could bring supply voltage down, causing digital circuit to reset or go to error states, so better to go with regulator of 2 to 3 times of peak current
@techielew The range of blue color in HSV, or I just need to change the method of detecting the circle. Also, I want to estimate the position of x and y using optical flow
@Vizsla Geek Welcome! Can you let us know a bit about your technical background, what brings you to DevHeads, and what you're looking to learn/contribute?!

Hey all.....i wanted to advance my skills in VERILOG language and FPGA's, any roadmap that you can provide me on where to start and how to proceed will be really helpful.
Hi @gKarthikSai I hope these books will help you: Programming FPGAs: Getting Started with Verilog” by Simon Monk FPGA Prototyping with VHDL Examples” by Pong P. Chu
Hi gKarthik good to hear from you. @Navadeep might be able to recount some of his experience to set you on a path but @JohnBudweiser and I had a conversation about this a while ago and he suggested getting started with ModelSim. Then Navadeep jumped in with a free web version: https://www.makerchip.com/.
Combine this with some foundational reading and QA with the experts here and I think you have a good set of tools to get started. But please let us know if you have specific questions.
An MPU6050 from Digikey for $8 (about 640 Rs). But when I got the breakout board for it from Robu, it only cost me $1.4 (around 113 Rs). Why is there such a big difference in price?
Usually, surface-mount components like the MPU6050 are cheaper. So it's surprising that it's more expensive on Digikey.
It depends on how long the device will be on at full capacity. Literally I will say you should get another regulator of 1A, which will cover all your power requirements so that there won't be a power flunctuation in your board.
To add on, my personal favourite is https://z-lib.io/book/17737154 From a very basic A for Apple level - me as an ultra novice to this, found it graspy.
