Pixel fonts with extended latin support - u8g2, AdafruitGFX compatible

I've been using those fonts for many of my projects and I think they're nice so I put together a library that can be easily used with any Raspberry / Arduino project. The fonts support extended latin = wide language support. The fonts are meant for tiny low-resolution displays or dot matrixes. AdafruitGFX, u8g2 and BDF formats are included.

Feel free to try them out and let me know how you like them!

Made a library of pixel fonts with extended latin support

As a big lover of various dot matrix displays I couldn't find a good set of tiny fonts, so I made my own. They are hand drawn with some help of AI with generating different variants and AdafruitGFX header files. They have extended latin support, so diacritics and special characters also work!

Github is set up, so let me know how you like them!

Dolce gusto picollo keeps dying during warm up

I’ve already fixed the machine a year ago - dead triac. Now it started doing this. I suspect it’s a dead capacitor but I thought someone might’ve encountered this issue and know what’s going on before I open it up. It blinks normally, then starts to fade and turns off. I can keep pushing it and eventually it starts up. Once it’s finished heating (button goes green) it works normally.

Using 74HC595 as serial in parallel out memory

I had this idea today and I haven't seen this done anywhere on the internet. QA-QH outputs are tied together. You use ADD_A, ADD_B, ADD_C to select which register to read from via OE pin, inactive registers stay high-z. What I'm unsure is relying on the tri-state with OE transition, propagation delays and potential brief shorting of the outputs.

To make this addressable also for write, the 74HC138 could also gate CLK pins of the registers.

I'll test it out either way but I'm contemplating adding a AND gate to the 74HC138 outputs with a monostable that will add a small delay to let the OE pins settle.

Any thoughts?

Time to act is now

It's clear now that the dems are in the same situation as the Republicans 10-15 years ago. You have a extremist underbelly that infects positions of power from the bottom up, and suddenly you get Trump. It starts on the internet, people laugh about it, then in a few years its the reality.

I honestly believe if this isn't delt with NOW, there's going to be a isolationist tankie government in the US in just a few election cycles.

So IMO there needs to be an organized call to action, just crying about it on twitter won't help. The leaders need to call on the community to go overboard with contacting the DNC people, media people, anyone in any way possible. Do everything they can to publicise the issue.

As we can see, some (if not most) youth orgs are compromised already. So this needs to come from the top, from the positions of power when they still hold the power. There needs to be mass firings, otherwise banning destiny in some convention will be just the beginning.

EDIT:

One thing I forgot to mention is the parasocial nature of the socialist extremists. Because they are extremists they live on the internet, spending all their time plotting and scheming, it's their life. So we need to somehow try to match this energy either with more numbers (many people do a little to match few extremists doing alot) or outright bot the shit out of it as far as internet goes.

Evropský automotive

Poslední dobou se dost řeší nekonkurenceschopnost EU automobilek, propouštějí a restrukturalizují. Takže velký špatný.

Čistě z hlediska consumera a SW/UI vývojáře mi to přijde jako long time coming. Prestižní automobilky jako BMW mají zasekaný prehistorický software, nudný okoukaný design, nesmyslné instalování LED podsvícení všude po autě, propojení s mobilem někdy funguje, někdy ne. Elektroauta jsou tlačena legislativou, ale automobilky je neumí, až to skoro působí, že je dělat nechtějí.

Jsou k tomu důvody, jako několikaletý lifecycle návrhu a vývoje, je to např. důvod, proč mají evropská auta prehistorický klidně 10 let starý android i u nových modelů. Atestace pro automotive je příísná a drahá, tak prostě používají to co mají X let.

No a pak tu jsou nastupující čínská auta, kde navrhnou a vyrobí model auta víceméně od základu během 1-2 let. Moderní systém, moderní featury v interiéru, od základu primárně dělají elekroauta.

Na jednu stranu je pravda, že Čína ten development dotuje, to ale není důvod k pasivitě ze strany EU automobilek.

Need help with PWM fading logic circuit

The project

A no-mcu, purely logic based nixie clock with some cool features including fade-in, fade-out colon.

Basic theory of the fade function

PWM counter is fed 2048hz square wave, divided by 16 (4 bits) results in 128hz, 16 steps pwm. Fade counter is counting up until PWM reaches max value (all bits are 1), it starts counting down until it reaches all 0.

The problem

Fade counter is not counting properly, it seems to switch between about 25% and 75% duty in 1s interval. Note that I only have a multimeter here, no oscilloscope so those measurements are pretty much eyeballed.

Discovered issues so far

U5: DOWN counter pin should be tied to VCC, this has been botch-fixed with a 10k pullup

Full schematic in pdf

And finally, please excuse the atrocity of the schematic.

Nenávidím je

Foukače na ruce na hajzlech, nejodpornější vynález posledni doby. Sliz a bakterie co se tam usazují a zrají, ti lítají přímo do ksichtu a i když to nepoužiješ tak to na tebe nafouká někdo jiný. A to za předpokladu že se toho hnusu přímo nedotkneš rukou.

The Connor situation is crazy.

I am that mythical fiscally conservative, socially liberal being. As such, I'm consuming both D and Connor, depending on my mood. But from a purely human perspective, when it comes to friends having their family and friends stalked and doxxed by a group of crazies, it's unfathomable to let some of the crazies fester in my discord channel.

I listened to most of the conversation until D disconnected. I very much liked earlier part with Moot who seemed just as flabergasted as myself, trying to tap into some humanity in Connor.

You can't call someone a friend and scream at them directly to their face in front of one of the stalkers in the call. I just keep thinking about how crazy that whole call was, I'm not going to see Connor the same way.

Honestly I'd feel personally insulted and disrespected if someone did this to me while at the same time calling me their friend. Just crazy man.
