Hello everyone, I have some concerns bothering me.I would like to know how one can estimate the lifespan of a microcontroller (for example AVR). And can microcontrollers work 24/7 ??
Microcontroller lifespan estimation depends on operational and environmental conditions. Properly designed microcontrollers can work 24/7 with adequate power management and cooling.
@TIETIBIEKA Moussine@Fiqih Prawida @ryanc3282002 Hi, welcome to the community! We'd love to hear more about you. Could you introduce yourself and share your profession with us?
Hello, I'm working on an article about why you should consider .8mm PCBs over 1.6mm PCBs (mostly in the context of 2-layer boards). Anything I should mention?
I'm not advocating that in all cases over 1.6mm thickness, but seems like something that beginners especially wouldn't even consider I think the most obvious factors are weight, volume, and cost, but I know captive issues come into play as well. Any insight/references on capacitance that I should look at?
Also I saw some mention of how it affects solder joint fatigue, would welcome your thoughts on that too!
Actually, one thing I'd looked at a while ago is the RP2040 design guide https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/rp2040/hardware-design-with-rp2040.pdf, section 2.4.1, where it talks about the differential impedance for the USB spec and having a ground plane nearby. Not certain if the distance to the ground plane actually affects characteristic impedance, or if that is a separate solution for minimizing crosstalk. Thoughts?
Hi @everyone! Looking forward to seeing you at this week's Office Hours Meetup! @barafael will be sharing his experience as a Rust programmer, @wafa_athmani will talk about micropython, while other devs touch on their language of choice.
Hi, I'm trying to let Google Gemini access a codefile that is too large for ChatGPT4. Gemini has a larger context size compared to GPT4. However, I can't upload a text/code file to Gemini. I try to give it links to a publicly available text file so it can read it from there. I tried the following:
a link to a text file on our own server
a link to a text file on a public Github repo
a link to a (publicly available) text file on my Google Drive
But Google Gemini fails to read any of them. It always says that it can't access the file.
Has anyone here achieved to get Google Gemini analyze a text file?
PS: the text file (code file) is too large to copy-paste into the prompt.
Calling all @PCB & Analog engineers: Don't miss the premiere of our next Ask a Developer Demo with @ShreeshaN on April 3rd at 15:00 GMT (in 10 hours). He walks through selecting an LDO with LTSpice, comparing an Analog Devices voltage regulator and Linear Technologies voltage regulator in a theoretical battery application.
A great place to start if you're just getting your hands dirty in electrical design.
We're playing catchup so the first episode from February is currently uploading but we'll get current over the next couple weeks. Thought you'd want to know.
As a successful IoT professional, you not only have to be an experienced technologist. You also need a decent amount of domain expertise, business savvy, and preferably all three.
