minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink37•9 days ago“the serial output from my test unit turns into garbage and it happens at completely random times!” “Did you make sure they were plugged in all the way?” “WHAT?!?! ARE YOU SUGGESTING I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M DOING?!?!” Some time later “Yeah, it turned out to be the serial connection was loose.”

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•5 days ago“Where does this green wire go?” I appreciate HW engineers and techs. I’m not afraid of datasheets, circuit diagrams, or a mso and they’re always patient enough to explain things to me so I can make the rocks behave. Or at least tell me how to go from diagram to board lol.
