Re: Nothing In Particular

Just started playing with this in anger... It's lovely. Here's a screen grab of it decoding a 400kHz I2C connection from an MSP43FR5969 ultra-low-power (uAmps) TI uProcessor talking to a DS3231 RTC chip: WaveForms I2C test.PNG Among the cutenesses from the GUI is that the pin identifications on the ...

Something left-field. They may look like Mafiosi, but it's deceptive - just lovely - highly emotional. Will be there later this year and hugely looking forward to the cultural side... https://www.facebook.com/Basiani/ http://www.basiani.ge/ - They are the State Ensemble of Georgian Folk SIngers http...

Re: Dropbox is ending public folder support

Yes - I was a VERY early customer of Plus.net, so I have web space - I don't believe they offer this any more, so I mainly use GoDaddy for other sites. I started on Demon Internet Services - my username there was "OldNick" (notice the pun!) - Demon's support line numbers all ended with the...

Re: Dropbox is ending public folder support

Third-party hosting is always going to be a potential problem due to "Free" and "Forever" being subjective terms in the connected world. I only link to picture I host personally, e.g. on my Plus.net or other sites, or I resize them and upload to the forum so they're hosted by t'o...

Re: DNS at home

Sorry about that - not trying to be a pedant, but I spend a fair bit of my day job getting my team to implement systems that hopefully can't be got round easily, so i have a real interest in this... I'm paid to think like a devious little sh*t :) (*) Having said that, I've been playing with pi-hole ...

Re: Pete Millett ATEST

This is my circuit, it's simple enough. Yep - that's the same as the App Note one, however, a tiny (semantic) point... The symbol in your schematic is for an N-channel enhancement mode (normally off) MOSFET, and DN2540s and similar are depletion mode (normally on) devices - the symbol is subtly dif...
