Looks cool. Is there a link to more build info? I googled VU3PAT soldering station that gave a link to "pcbheven" that starting spawning "congratulations your are the five millionth search and click h

Interesting article, thanks.

I had no idea that clone handles existed and only cost around five bucks. That would be a good starting point for such a project. The only reason for switching off the heater during temperature measur

What an interesting idea. As a fun project I wonder how well this would work to control the temperature of an old generic soldering iron I have laying around. Building some kind of circuit that can sw

Hi, I've used this in some Arduino Nano designs: https://github.com/prampec/arduino-softtimer It is not a full RTOS but is very lightweight and allows you to break up your system into separate tasks.

The thing that would drive me nuts, was when transparency was introduced to desktops widgets (Linux and Windows), and semitransparent backgrounds were introduced as defaults. Trying to read text in a

This is really cool. And when you figure out the audio, definitely let us know. Been thinking about the same thing. I think moving up to an ESP32 would be necessary in order to get some extra analog p

Yes, "acquire anti-skid properties 90 minutes after application". I hate it when my code skids. Tom, wb6b

That's good to know. Thanks for finding and summarizing the additional information from the documentation. Tom, wb6b

Yes I believe 1.1 volts is the correct voltage, not 1.8 volts as I stated in my previous post. It will be interesting to see what folks do with these new boards. Tom, wb6b

Hi Jerry, There is a schematic in this file: https://datasheets.raspberrypi.org/pico/pico_datasheet.pdf Here is a link to the getting started you get sent to when you clink on the "htm" file in the "f

Hi, It was a good day today. I went out for lunch and saw footprints up my driveway from last night's freshly fallen snow. But, rather than being from visiting tourists deciding my driveway is a free

Jerry, Ron, Thanks for the great links. Tom, wb6b

This code is sort of a one stop shopping center for many digital processing techniques for analog signals. He uses PWM for his analog outputs. https://github.com/threeme3/QCX-SSB Tom, wb6b

It seems like the build system has been designed to makes assumptions based on the name and layout of the directories. As I try this attempt to pack my project and the libraries I want to lock down to

Sorry, my cat was repeatedly trying to jump up on keyboard and started scrolling the mouse in the middle of my sentence. Should be: For some reason the libraries did not work unless they were in the "

Hi Jack, For some reason when the libraries did not work unless they were in the "src" directory. I believe the build failed at the linking stage. Tom

Hi Jack, I'm working on another project and want to include the libraries I actually used when developing the project, bundled with the project. After much looking around and reading, I think I may ha

At one time all sorts of PhD theses were written on how to refactor algorithms to work with multiple processors, and if a general multiprocessor architecture and automatic multiprocessor compliers wou

With Python and Perl, the software design approach is not to work at the bye by byte level. But to work at the buffer by buffer (or array, dictionary, string buffer and such level). This allows fast c
