    Re: JLCPCB ordering tip

    I don't have the same definition of stacked and staggered as JLCPCB.

    Re: Filtering noise from a wire

    My plan was to keep the resistors and accelerator chip right up against the PIC.

    I don't recall seeing location requirements, but I wasn't looking for that info last night either.

    Re: Filtering noise from a wire

    Thanks, that's what I was hoping.

    Just checked and JLCPCB doesn't have any in stock. They don't have any other I2C accelerator chips (that I can see). Now I understand the gripes on the...

    The graph at the bottom of page 1 of the LTC4311 shows a total rise-time of about 1uS.

    Re: Filtering noise from a wire

    What do you mean by active pull-ups? I couldn't see a meaningful description on google.

    I'm not using weak internals, I'm using 4K7 externals.

    Re: JLCPCB ordering tip

    If you keep messing up the "comma-separated" file prep like I do (the SAVE feature from Open Office is not smooth), consider using a script if you are I.S. savvy.

    This is what I do to prepare PCBs...

    Re: Securing Dupont connectors to headers

    I did not know that.

    I don't want unnecessary fumes in my workarea. Not just for me, but also for any plastics or synthetic materials.

    Bi-directional I-O Expander circuit

    I was originally planning on making 2 sets of MCP23017 circuits; 1 for input with debounce, 1 for output. But even with JLCPCB it comes out to $1 / PCB. I'd like to lower my cost more, and not have...

    Re: Securing Dupont connectors to headers

    Yeah, I've done some light hand tests using new parts; Dupont cable clip and header pin, that clip is relatively firmly secured.

    It's mostly to prevent any problems during shipping.

    This is for...

    Securing Dupont connectors to headers

    Have you ever used Loctite to secure a Dupont socket onto a header pin?


    My initial plan was to do like many and use hotglue, but this particular situation requires a liquid that's less "thick",...

    Re: Charlie-plexing

    Sorry, I took a break for a few years and didn't see this post.

    At first glance, your grid does look functionally like my leaning pyramid.

    It's weird, your design looks more confusing to me. :D

    Re: JLCPCB ordering tip

    Yup, you can pre-buy parts from suppliers by JLCPCB.


    Pre-order the required components in advance to ensure sufficient components are ready anytime.

    Place a PCBA order with confidence at any...

    Re: JLCPCB ordering tip

    I was checking prices on JLCPCB for a MCP23017 circuit, and I noticed something when I entered their part numbers.

    Thanks, I'll keep that one in mind if I ever try to simulate a circuit again. :D

    Re: CircuitLab simulation

    Just a clarification, KiCad uses ngspice.

    Turns out KiCad has a few "features" that you quickly pick up on when you read about spice:

    I just completed the first lesson as I was watching the video and I'm really impressed. So far it seems to be free.

    Re: New project - MSFS C++ USB interface

    That's always an option, but it's a slower mechanism.

    And I still have the issue of having sufficient torque to activate the switch. The motor has a stroke length, but no mention of force.
