Installed Kicad for a personal project of mine. This is the very first time I'm making a schematic from scratch. Let's see how it'll go 🤓

@chrysn I didn't draw the edge cutting yet, that may also be the case 😅 no worries. I'm still learning and this is my very first PCB design attempt 😊

arda,
@arda@micro.arda.pw avatar

After a little bit tinkering, changing board thickness, adding a rough edge cutting and re-aligning the length of data pins, it's finally starting to look like something 😆

It's going to be 0.8 mm, 2 layers PCB, which you'd use directly like a usb-c extender.

Hmmm :thinking_rotate:

I may not populate the male side, and add only 5.1k ohm resistors to female side, and it would theoretically work as well.

The PCB Design / gerber will have pads for both cases, at worst case I won't populate them.

Tried placing and routing on my lunch break today. Only except one pin it's okay, but I didn't like the outcome. There are a lot of VIAs than necessary, and I cannot route that single data pin on the male side, so I'm scratching this and will start routing from scratch.

I'll try to rotate resistors (they are not polarized but the schematic's pins are fixed)

FYI, this is my very first attempt on my life on routing, and I'm a software engineer who has a chemistry degree 😅

Schema is going so far so good.

This will be a "USB Dummifier".

I have various USB-C devices that inherit usb-c connector but designers did not give a damn about the USB standards, so only old usb-c to usb-2 cables work, and not usb-c to usb-c cables.

If you plug this in between, it'll complete the missing resistors and (hopefully) allow your device to work with usb-c modern cables.

Even the famous Planck keyboard, which I've used for a long while, has this issue.

The schema so far.. Since the USB-C females are reversible by the internal wiring of the connector, I didn't have to worry about the second side. However, for the males, the situation is different. That's why I had to wire the male ends of the connector. This ultimately made it more complex.

By the way, I will open-source this when it finishes 🙏

New routing revision:

A lot of suggestions on this revision are from @ozkan 👑 🙏

I've changed the connector from mid mount to more generic 12 pin, so ultimately I have space for routing pins on the female side. Additionally, I've modified the traces of data pins so that the length of male and female ends are same (0.04 mm difference, cannot go lower, but I'm almost positive it's tolerable).

I'll try to make VBUS and GND lines thicker, and then keep on edge cutting. 🤞

arda,
@arda@micro.arda.pw avatar

@chrysn Sadly, the connector I've chosen for the design is mid-mount, so there is actually nothing for me to re-route. However, I'm seriously considering to fall back to generic connectors without mid mount cutout, so I could utilize that area.

arda,
@arda@micro.arda.pw avatar

Aand it's done!

Behold the Dummifier! Where it fixes your dumb usb devices who refuse to utilize modern cables😆

I'll open source this quite soon. It'll have v3 license.

@arda@micro.arda.pw avatar

Since Twitch.tv is banned in Turkey, due to ongoing gambling concerns from National Lottery Administration (💩), I cannot sign into igdb.com 🤦‍♂️. I simply mark the games I've played/playing on IGDB, so it's a valuable service for me.

So what I'm wondering is that do my fedi friends have any alternatives for IGDB ? I can/prefer to selfhost it anyways, so this will be a good reason to jump on, just like I did with maloja from last.fm

I tried ryot, but it's buggy as hell.

@sn0n Yup, it's only for tracking and marking as "played", "want to play", "dropped/gave up" etc., but I don't want to maintain a table for myself as well. Airtable and similar are my last resort though, thanks for the suggestion.

Meanwhile, I found this, but I believe it's quite early to jump on:

I booted up my PC and this is how my monitor is ⚰️

I heard that during the day a tiny thing has touched the panel 🥲

I'd appreciate any monitor suggestions from you guys.

I used to use this for dual usage. 2 machines were connected. Gaming on PC, and coding on Macbook.

The model is Samsung CHG70 27" QLED.

Can't believe my instance is down due to storage being full.. Apparently I messed some offline backup retention rules.. Well if you can see it's up again.

With the inputs of GitHub actions, if you bind it the checkout action, your manual triggers could be as flexible as you want.

Example is to show how flexible this can be. In the image, I can use the workflow chore/branch, and deploy the codes in the main branch to the staging env.

I was not expecting whiskey (Glenfiddich Vat 01) and roasted chestnut complementing each other this good.

I poured a litre of water into a bowl, then added a teaspoon of salt into the water, then mixed them. Then I added half kilos of chestnut, pre-cut, into the solution. I made chestnuts soak the water for like 30 mins. After that, I took them out, and fried them on my Air Fryer, cooked them for 15 mins at 200 Celsius, on the top steel grill thingy.
