Wrong Variants
- Derrick from The Current Source sent in his stomp box as some "reverse" swag.
- Recommend putting an LED in the Bass' eyeball for power notification.
- Parker
- Finished and ordered the Raspberry Pi Compute Module LVDS test board.
- Started researching more about I2S Audio.
- Stephen
- Synthesizer Update
- Got the envelope working.
- Envelope controls the volume and signal amplitude.
- There was a hardware bug in that the envelope turned on before the frequency changed to the next note.
- Stephen fixed it in software by adding a small 10ms delay before opening the envelope.
- Pick Of the Week (POW)
- Kinda unusual this week but DRAGONLOCK
- 3D printer files for dungeons and stuff.
- MonoPrice is having a sale on 3D printers.

- Heads up – WS2812B NeoPixels are about to change! - By Particle.io
- 1. “RGB port refresh rate increased from 400Hz to 2000Hz, there’s LOW Frame Frequency and No Flicker appear in HD Video Camera, it improves excellent Large-Screen display effect.”
- 2. “RGB port current-output reduced from 17.5mA to 16.5mA, it can’t be recognized by naked eyes and won’t affect the mixed OLDs & NEWs. However, it’s recommended to separate these old & new chips if your demand performance-critical.”
- 3. “Old & New chips go all the way in PINs, application circuits, operating voltage, and PCB drawings, and the software is also fully compatible.”
- 4. “Old & New chips are exactly the same as in Timing, Data transmission and Data structure. However, the Reset Time increased from >50us to >280us. It won’t cause wrong reset while interruption, and what’s more, it supports the lower frequency and inexpensive MCU. When the “Reset Time<280us”, don’t mixed up and kindly please make necessary amends.”
- Samsung to recycle millions of recalled Galaxy Note 7 phones - Electronics Weekly
-
- 4 million phones have been recalled.
- All salvageable components, such as semiconductors and camera modules, shall be detached for test sample production purposes.
- Samsung also plans to join the EU’s R&D and test efforts to develop new eco-friendly processing methods.
- IBM unveils world’s first 5nm chip - Ars Technica
-
- notable for being one of the first to use horizontal gate-all-around (GAA) transistors, and the first real use of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography.
- 2D, 3D, and back to 2D
