Here’s my (quite) brief review of the oscilloscope received as part of the Forget Me Not -challenge, which includes using the scope to measure powering of the Pi B+ with a cheap DC/DC converter. The review is written as a flow of mind, so I'm fairly ...
Pas Home - Index Hello, this week I did a lot of testing and debugging with the oscilloscope. I try to see and solve the problem of my network of temperature 1-wire sensor. I try first to change my connection to the 5v and 3.3v use, I...
Software developers absolutely love documentation. But unfortunately for me they hate writing it (and I know this, working fulltime as one of them...).Last time I said that my goal for the past week was to write a small prototype for communicating wi...
