I know they are called wood pigeons for a reason but they look so out of place nomming in a tree lol
Watch til the end

You can "see" it here after all, at least through the camera with an f0.95 lens.
Impossible to see by naked eye in the city.

The pigeon cam is back. A circuit breaker fliped during a thunderstorm while I was traveling, ending the stream.

They laid eggs now!

if you’ve written code to interact with a USB device (in userspace, not in the kernel), what tools/learning resources did you use?

right now I’m thinking gousb (and Wireshark to spy on USB traffic) but I’ve never done this before

the USB device in question is a USB-to-Ethernet adapter on a Mac

timonsku,
@timonsku@mastodon.social avatar

@b0rk @mjk I can also recommend "USB Complete", great book to look up details.

@b0rk aside from the all powerful libusb you also have WebUSB available in Chrome and friends.
There is also node-usb which offers a WebUSB like interface.

@b0rk they are all just libusb in the end but the interface is more friendly to use :D

Was more sparing with indoor masking on my last days and got the prompt receipt🫠

E: please no advise, I know everything you can possibly think of. It's my first infection and masked on any indoor thing past that one time where I likely got it (crowded restaurant)

@MisterHW Yea that was good news. Also that other one that can target a virus more broadly so immune evasion wouldn't be as much of a problem anymore but sounded like that was a fair bit out.
I had a booster a month ago so yea, would have hoped that would help longer for actual infection lol

did you ever encounter some RP2040 GPIOs just not... working? i.e. you tell it to output a logic high level, but the actual pin is close to GND? we have some pocket keyboards that are like that. there is no short on the board. so i'm wondering how this can happen. damage during soldering, handling?

timonsku,
@timonsku@mastodon.social avatar

@mntmn hrm, maybe blown ESD diode. Damage like that from reflow feels unlikely

timonsku,
@timonsku@mastodon.social avatar

@mntmn @Laberpferd You can use the diode mode of the multimeter too to get the voltage drop of the diode and compare it to a working pin, will likely be very low or nothing at all.

timonsku,
@timonsku@mastodon.social avatar

@jaseg @mntmn @funkylab @Laberpferd hm yea, if they have floating irons that could def. be an issue. The workers likely wear grounding straps so they would realize the potential if they touch a ground point on the PCB during soldering.

timonsku,
@timonsku@mastodon.social avatar

@funkylab @jaseg @mntmn @Laberpferd They might very well be, PCBWay has no assembly lines, they outsource this to various PCBA places. Which is why they can be quite inconsistent when it comes to assembly quality.

timonsku,
@timonsku@mastodon.social avatar

@funkylab @jaseg @mntmn @Laberpferd wave soldering only becomes cheaper at really high qty where the setup time and dialling in becomes worth it. Wave soldering is really tricky to get consistent and not every design is suited for it.
Not something you do if your joint count is in the thousands.

Bye Montreal it was nice. Weather went from sunny and warm to cold and wet. Perfect time to skedaddle home where its warm and sunny

Had a great time at Open Hardware Summit! Enjoying the city before heading back home tomorrow.

The node.js documentary is really interesting, can recommend giving it a watch.

@jasoncoon nice! I wish node would see more use with hardware and system people. Quite often I feel its more suited for a thing than Python

timonsku,
@timonsku@mastodon.social avatar

@jasoncoon heh yea! There is the whole ecosystem that sparked from Espruino but unfortunately it seems it never quite hit it off like MicroPython did.
Which I think mostly comes down to hardware folks not being very familiar with JavaScript/TypeScript, esp. outside off the browser.

@jasoncoon that was my interest with this poll
