I wish I had a barn. There are so many random weird cars on craigslist I would like to buy.

1961 DKW Auto Union 1000? Yes pls.

@MLE_online with the old Opel its tricky. most of them do not carry one piece of metal that is not completely rusty.

thomashauer,
@thomashauer@mastodon.cloud avatar

@MLE_online opel was known for his rust problems back in the day here in central europe. it was so severe that they almost had to close their business. still remember all the old cars and the welders who took care of them.

I miss eggs. I wish the price of eggs would be normal again

thomashauer,
@thomashauer@mastodon.cloud avatar

@MLE_online whats the price for 10eggs across the pond now?

thomashauer,
@thomashauer@mastodon.cloud avatar

@MLE_online so 0.28€ around per egg. here it starts at 0.35€ per egg (farmers direct price). so, still not bad from a european POV

Traveling north past a lot of fields that have transformed into duckponds from all the recent rain.
Basically from the train, the entire east side of the country seems to be under water.

@Extelec @Dtl followed it in the news. some end in sight or will it continue this way?

@Extelec @Dtl ok at least something. its the pain of mostly flat lands i guess ...

Midi parser working great now, a few tweaks to force monophony (and may need a few more) sound is via a piezo across the mosfet driver.

A few problems (non midi related) I need to check gate drive voltages whilst it's running, and occasionally, both cores are using the same code and accessing the a2d at the same time.
Annoyingly both are very time critical :(
Probably need to make a thread to do the monitoring in the background and pool the results.

@Extelec nice one though! been a decade or so since i played around with these things. whats the 12V-340V inveter topology?

Mosfet loss calculation can get to a proper science thing.

thomashauer,
@thomashauer@mastodon.cloud avatar

@gsuberland i agree with so many points in that video.
he uses LTSpice there and unfortunately lots of the FET models are poorly made. dont know about the new ones though. those ones who are incorporated in the power switchers though are really well worked out and thought through.

thomashauer,
@thomashauer@mastodon.cloud avatar

@gsuberland hmmm so far its the best one I've seen. in some LTSpice user groups there are tipps and tricks for good mosfet models.
there is a new kid on the block though : QSpice (also done my Mike).
haven't tested it though so hard for me to recommend - but i'm sure Mike did a good job on this one. he explained to me the improvements but i'm not a numerics person, so being brutally honest, i have barely a clue what he explained me :D

thomashauer,
@thomashauer@mastodon.cloud avatar

@gsuberland oh! pity! for me it worked a few weeks back. maybe spam filter?
but, it reminds me to put it back on my todo list and reserve a week or so to play with it.

thomashauer,
@thomashauer@mastodon.cloud avatar

@gsuberland yeah its a little odd but they probably want to beef up their email list for future advertisement on their products. ROI is always around ...

My National Grid: Live site at https://grid.iamkate.com now includes data for Viking Link. This 1.4GW electrical interconnector between Bicker Fen in England and Revsing in Denmark is currently undergoing commissioning and is expected to be fully operational from 29th December.

@kate need to check where the neg transfer in 22 with france is coming from. my guess is the refurbishment of the nuclear power plants in france. not sure though could be wrong.

People on Mastodon: I don't get why more people don't join the platform. We are very relatable.

Top post on Mastodon: If you spend 72 hours reprogramming the 1982 Commodore 64 computer using a long-forgotten latin coding language, you can make it display a pop-up window that you would typically only see on the original 1984 Apple Macintosh. Go ahead and try it for yourself.

I'm really frustrated with Altium Designer (lack of) support and the cost. Thinking of KiCAD. Any thoughts? This is for professional use.

@chris_gammell

thomashauer,
@thomashauer@mastodon.cloud avatar

@wa7iut @chris_gammell basically yes i‘d say. A thing that is lacking in kicad which annoys me at times is that there is no layout reuse (as far as i‘ve found out so far)

thomashauer,

@chris_gammell @wa7iut just for linux i assume?
