The RP2040 and RP2350 have dedicated debug pins. These pins are accessible on the development boards. This interface can be used to watch the processor working in real time and identify the location where a program gets stuck.To get access to all details, an in-circuit debugger, for example, the official Raspberry Pi Debug Probe, can…
Soldering is easy, especially if you have already done it several times before.
During summer, I had time to read several books. One of them was “A Mind at Play”. A biography about Claude Shannon, which was great to read. This book tells the story of a fascinating scientist. His main research topic was to understand what information is in a mathematical way, which led him to become…
What happens if you trigger on a very noisy signal for averaging?
How does a PAM4 would look if you could freeze the time? I have recently extended my 3D-printed models of eye-diagrams.
Each innovation started once with a smart invention. This small seed can grow into a successful product, provided there are the right circumstances. One aspect is the protection of the intellectual property of the invention so that it can be defended against competitors. Therefore, I’m glad that there is an efficient process to obtain this protection.…
What is That was a question that I recently saw on YouTube, but the answer is quite obvious if you remember that 100 % is just equal to 1. Here, I would like to do the same with the decibel. That unit also describes a ratio. 0 dB is again equal to 1, so that…
Breadboards are great and easy to understand. You just insert your components, make the proper connection with jumper cables, and you will find out if your prototype is working. When I was young, I decommissioned a few old computers and scraped their parts. From that moment, I had several IDE (PATA) cables lying around, which…
Spoiler: I was young and had time. 😉
