I had my rpi2 setup with a cheap usbsoundcard and guitarix for a while. I used a tool called xming and ssh to open the program and configure everything on my windows desktop. It worked surprisingly well. I'd love to try it with the rpi3 in the future.

If you like assembly then it's great. Arduino allows you to get into micro controllers the lazy way, which I really like because I'm lazy.

>>57972674
True. After ANSI C in uni Arduino was such fun. The simplicity was probably the thing I enjoyed most about Arduinos. And if you can't waste cycles you can still program them in C.

pretty good learning/hobby tool, can recommend. But get ESP8266 boards, Wi-Fi gives you so many more options for projects.

ARDUINO SUCKS ASS with sensors
The analog inputs have serious fucking issues.
First thing I encountered was that most shields will fuck with the analog inputs.
Second thing I encountered is that the cross-talk between analog inputs is significant
Third thing I encountered is that you have to put in a mini-loop when sampling analog to manually clear the charge so you can sometimes maybe but not always get an often still fucking useless reading

just got an orange pi zero,sucks ass so far because the community is still small and mostly made out of pajeets or chinks,so anything you want to do is undocumented or just doesn't work

These are all meme-tier. Real embedded system designers just use Atmel's tools and programmers.

>>57975507
So what do you recommend for real embedded system engineers? I'm genuinely interested in this topic.

>>57972802
Use Wifi, much more flexibility in my opinion.

>>57975625
Use this program: http://www.atmel.com/tools/atmelstudio.aspx.

Use this thing to program it: http://www.atmel.com/tools/AVRDRAGON.aspx

Learn C if you don't already know it and read the datasheet for this chip: http://www.atmel.com/devices/ATMEGA328.aspx

If this is above you're level, try to find an online tutorial or class.

>>57975658
You can do this. It might make you feel smart. The reality is that people use the Arduino (et al) tools because they're actually much easier and efficient for the majority of use cases. It's just another case of a niche being opened up to the masses and inhabitants of said niche becoming butthurt that they no longer have exclusivity.

>>57975687
If you actually want to get a job (a high paying one) as an embedded systems designer you NEED to know this stuff.

If you just want to stick with meme-tier projects, then fine, use an Arduino.

>>57971850
Anyone have a suggestion for a NAS build?

>>57975658

Anybody tried running RetroBSD? I bought a custom Pinguino Micro with a processor with more RAM but haven't gotten around to trying to install it. I just love the thought of running BSD 2.11 on a microcontroller. Going to look into LiteBSD (BSD 4.4 for microcontrollers) but I haven't looked into whether mine's compatible or not.

I'm considering an arduino uno + assorted resistors, LEDs, sensors, etc just to play around with and do some learning projects for fun.

I have a raspberry pi B (first gen) that was originally going to be used in a mame setup, but it seems underpowered. Are there any microcomputers that would be suitable for a mame cabinet? It's more cost and size that anything, as I wanted to make something portable

>>57976111
Just install OpenBSD or FreeBSD and do whatever you want to do. Remember to RTFM

>>57976134
I have in VMs and I always get stuck doing stupid things. PKG has problems for me and so does installing XFCE and having to edit config files for it.

>>57976197
If you install OpenBSD from remote sets it'll set your path to whatever server you choose, given you were using OpenBSD and the path was your problem. That was mine when I first started. As for Xfce it installed fine for me and you just need to edit config files to get better at it, you're not going to learn by not doing it, keep at it with trial and error and Google

Picked up a few Arduino pro mini's to act as DCC decoders for some model equipment I'm building. Would like to find something that supports 16bit audio, but it can't be wider than about 3/4" (20MM).

>>57976328
The website says Numato Mimas v2 dev board will do it. It doesn't seem to have a list of known working hardware. It says that's the cheapest at $50.

>>57976579

>>57976229
why can't you spoon feed me?

>>57976772
Because we're both lazy and you want to learn about this more than I want to teach you. Plus why ask a novice user when you can google the same questions and find better answers?

I love to use PICs for these kinds of projects because of the low level ability of it. The PIC18F4520 is my personal favorite as it comes with a lot of built in functions and is dirt cheap. My only complaint is the built-in PWM register is finicky.

>>57976130
>I'm considering an arduino uno + assorted resistors, LEDs, sensors, etc just to play around with and do some learning projects for fun.
Same. Not sure if I'll get any use out of it, but I like programming so maybe I'll like hardware programming too.

I want one, but I only need the zero because I really have everything you'd need with one already laying around. Sadly I cannot get it yet, as no store around here, not even on the web, sells it.

>cool projects
Sure, lighting effects for my room by manually connecting over 100 LEDs to it. (I got the Arduino when I was pretty new and these cheapo LED strips weren't a thing yet - maybe chyner got inspired by my projects?). Reacts to music, so it's a literal music visualizer, all self made.

Have tried other shit as well, currently playing with the thought of creating a /mkg/ with my 2nd Arduino as it has a USB controller that can act as an HID input device (that means it can simulate being a mouse or a keyboard).

I already tried something with it, but for some reason I couldn't get it running yet. I haven't further fiddled with it though, just 2 days of hacking.

Nice. I could really use that in a 11 - 12 inch form factor. I do not know of any controller able to handle such resolutions, either.

>>57972750
Programming an ESP8266 in C is a fucking pain.
Void pointers and nested callbacks everywhere.

Of course you can use it as just a serial device for an AVR, or others. Here you might want to look at the ESP14, it comes with an integrated STM8, which is also comfy to program in plain C.
All in a tiny module with the same dimensions of an ESP12.

But that's kind of a waste of the strong 32-bit ARM microcontroller inside the ESP.

Picture of your setup? Sounds highly interesting. How do you evenly distribute the light? Lenses?

>Picture
I'd love to post one, but my phone died and the only cam I currently have is the webcam on my monitor. I could make a photo by connecting it to a long ass USB extension cable, but then I'd also need to tidy up my room, which I cannot get done before this thread 404s.

Yes, the light gets evenly distributed by lenses. The lenses are built in in the OHP, the original light bulb however drew 400 watts of power and became extremely hot. So I got myself a PSU from an old computer and xenon tuning bulbs made for cars and bikes. These have transistorthingys that convert 12V (car batteries have roughly 12V as well) to something like 40000 volts or something. Then I had to saw out the old components to make space for the PSU and the new bulbs and located them below the lens. I use 2 bulbs, which I cool with a silent 12cm standard computer fan. That way I lowered the power consumption to rougly 120 watts for the light alone, which makes a really really big difference.

It's really not hard, it's less about understanding, it's more about craftsmanship and being able to disassemble a TFT screen without breaking it. It's super easy, but an overhead projector is big. It takes up quite a lot of space, but I can live with that, considering I can turn 1 wall of my room into a gigantic screen. Gaming is just magical with it. The low resolution allows highest settings all the time. Xbox controller and offblast!

I just learned how to program the freescale HCS12 for a computer architecture class. Seems like way more hobbyists use Atmel AVRs, though. Should I continue with the HCS12 or dump it for Atmel?

>>57979332
AVRs are much more hobbyist friendly.
Cheap, easily available in DIP, decent free tools, cheap/diy programmers.and tons of resources online.

You could also save a dollar by buying an ESP12 and adapter plate if you have something to flash it like an USB-Serial adapter or a Pi.

It's fine for game scripting or similar but it sucks for embedded.
The Lua API for ESPs is also garbage.
Huge mess of callbacks because everything has to be async like node.js.

>Huge mess of callbacks because everything has to be async like node.js.
I don't like Node-style callbacks (there are better options including Lua's own coroutines) but async is a pretty valuable feature if you want to handle socket connections with no threads. Is there a way to write async socket code with Arduino's C++ libraries?

I was thinking of asking my parents for one + a large external. I have two projects in mind, and maybe a kind anon could shed some light since I'm new to these.

1)Secure Server for password manager files
I really want to start using a password manager, but I find keeping it synced across all my devices might be a hassle. I don't know anything about making sure my server is secure though.

2)File server in general
After security is addressed, I'd like something I can set to backup my documents and pictures on a regular basis. Is there a cross platform software that will handle this easily? Something that will backup the folder structures in question (and then could be accessed anywhere in the world)

3)seedbox,but I already know how to do this.

No, unfortunately I don't. I should have documented when I was building it but I wasn't even thinking about it. It's really not that difficult if you have a jig saw to cut the plastic two way mirror and a router to cut the table.

Another tricky part is seeing where the mirror should be placed height wise as compared to the lights for the best reflection. Something else to consider is that the darker the tint on the 2 way the "deeper" the infinity effect. To be honest I wish I had got darker tint because it would hide the components inside better as well.

Currently using an arduino as a timer to water my weed plants. Maybe I'll add some sensors and hook up some more relays to control temps and air circulation too.

I hate that sparse Arduino IDE and dumbed down language tho. The only things useful about arduino are the bootloader and no manual HW initialization required.

Arduino does not drive the electronic components industry. 5V is a standard that will last a long time for various reasons.

Just set up a Ci20 as a bitcoin miner, only have two USB miners connected right now but at least I finally gave it a purpose. Before that I was just using it to program Fortran. Eventually going to use it as a native platform to learn MIPS ASM.

There was a game on here awhile ago, where you use assembly and program microcontrollers. What's that called?

I still haven't touched the neos on the software side, being a bit lazy on my days off. The OPZ was kinda difficult to find an OS image for. The orangepi website has debian images, but all of the download links were broken/missing. Eventually I was able to get an download straight fromt the armbian website. Poked around a bit but haven't set up any further than that since I'm still trying to get my cluster master machine working.

Some notes on hardware; the nanopi neo is considerably smaller than the orangepi zero, and also has a thinner pcb. Unfortunately both boards have a capacitor right next to one of the mounting holes. My metal standoffs were small enough to avoid touching them, but I had to shave off some material from the nylon ones to prevent them from knocking against them when I screwed the standoffs together. Electrically the two boards are almost identical, with the exceptions of the zero having PoE and wi-fi, and the CPU being an H3 on the neo and an H2+ on the zero.

Parallella is a board designed specifically for distributed computing, 2 ARM cores, 16 RISC cores, and an FPGA. There's a version with proprietary high throughput interconnects on the underside of the board, but I've opted for just using ethernet.

If you arent concerned about quality too much, get a car rearview camera monitor with AV in. For HDMI I would go to 7 inches and get 720p.

>>57985306
You can connect ESP8266 for example to the wifi and have them advertise a service via mdns. Then you can find them without needing their IP.

>>57987292
Yeah googled it, thanks anon. Seems quite a bit more expensive than standard sbcs, but special.

>are these good for learning basic electrical engineering?
No, and if you meant electronics also no.
You have to start with more basic semiconductors like single transistors and diodes, learn to make gates and amplifiers, then you can move to opamps, switching regulators, radio receivers, etc. If you just want to get into microcontrollers I'd recommend using the MSP430, there's a lot of documentation, Atmel/Microchip MCUs are ok but avoid Arduino.

>>57989997
really disagree with this one. I started with Arduino and wound up prototyping my own board from there on.

that probably explains why your board layout is so freaking terrible
zero actual knowledge, just throwing components together until something kinda works

>>57990250

As a hobbyist I think it's just fine.Where's your home designed PCB? You're the electronics engineer right?

>>57986208
by components, he probably means little sparkfun breakout boards
designed by retards, for retards

>>57990284
you think it's fine because you don't understand what a decoupling capacitor does and why we put them next to ICs
just one of the many things that are wrong on that PCB

All I do is make prototypes in arduino and employ embedded programmers to design the boards.
Then we send them to china to produce the boards.
Why would you want to be an embedded codemonkey when you can be a designer and employ the embedded codemonkeys?

Currently i'm building an RFID cat door and i also have a couple of lights on my house wired to an arduino relay board, connected to RPI3 with an NGIX server that its controlled through any web capable device on my house. I even got myself a Locked smartphone really cheap, glued to the wall, wired it to a charger, disabled all the battery saving features and i left it with an open browser connected to the RPI server so its like a touch panel for my lights.

>are these good for learning basic electrical engineering?

No, i used to work on PLC development an its completely different from arduino.

Are you just planning to utilize this for debugging and diagnostics or are you also planning to do something fancy like app-accessible live readouts or something?

There are some kits where you buy some adapter for the diagnostics port and get access to it via bluetooth and a mobile device (a tablet in the console of the car is really nice to have) app.

So I've been toying with microcomputers like the raspberry pi for a few years now but I always ran into trouble with x86 based program compatibility. I'm considering buying a Jaguar One with an intel atom Z3735G CPU to run some basic windows ISOs for personal use and entertainment.
While I've seen competitors like UDOO, their products are typically $90+ for anything that isn't ARM based.

Overall, just looking for a cheap and semi portable microcomputer thats capable of running x86 based programs and basic versions of windows. Here's the link:
http://www.jaguarboard.org/index.php/com_virtuemart_menu_configuration/products/buy/accessories-en/207/jaguarboard-detail.html#specification

>>57992620
Good luck running Windows on 1GB RAM and 16GB EMMC. If you want x86, get an UPBoard or something with 2/4GB RAM.

What are you doing on an SBC that requires Windows?

>>57992667
16GB shouldn't be too much of an issue. I ran Windows 8 on a 16GB SSD on my laptop for around a year.

I'm likely going to be using the system as a portable retro computer running basic shit like Windows XP/98 or older. I know its almost insulting to be using that sort of hardware for piss simple shit when it could easily be emulated, but I'm looking to assemble something like a Libretto style retro computer with it.

>>57992808
Looks great, but I can't seem to find anything under $100. Plus I can't seem to find any good sellers for it. My ultimate goal is to find something x86 based under $100, while its a difficult task its certainly possible.

Thanks for the input!
