Podcast Notes Derrick from The Current Source sent in his stomp box as some "reverse" swag. Recommend putting an LED in the Bass' eyeball for power notification. Parker Finished and ordered the Raspberry Pi Compute Module LVDS test board. Started researching more about I2S Audio. Inter-IC Sound Standardized by Philips Semiconductor which is now NXP One way to represent PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) Audio TAS5731 Stephen Synthesizer Update Got the envelope working. Envelope controls the volume and signal amplitude. There was a hardware bug in that the envelope turned on before the frequency changed to the next note. Stephen fixed it in software by adding a small 10ms delay before opening the envelope. Pick Of the Week (POW) Kinda unusual this week but DRAGONLOCK 3D printer files for dungeons and stuff. MonoPrice is having a sale on 3D printers. Rapid Fire Opinion (RFO) Heads up – WS2812B NeoPixels are about to change! - By Particle.io 1. “RGB port refresh rate increased from 400Hz to 2000Hz, there’s LOW Frame Frequency and No Flicker appear in HD Video Camera, it improves excellent Large-Screen display effect.” 2. “RGB port current-output reduced from 17.5mA to 16.5mA, it can’t be recognized by naked eyes and won’t affect the mixed OLDs & NEWs. However, it’s recommended to separate these old & new chips if your demand performance-critical.” 3. “Old & New chips go all the way in PINs, application circuits, operating voltage, and PCB drawings, and the software is also fully compatible.” 4. “Old & New chips are exactly the same as in Timing, Data transmission and Data structure. However, the Reset Time increased from >50us to >280us. It won’t cause wrong reset while interruption, and what’s more, it supports the lower frequency and inexpensive MCU. When the “Reset Time Samsung to recycle millions of recalled Galaxy Note 7 phones - Electronics Weekly 4 million phones have been recalled. All salvageable components, such as semiconductors and camera modules, shall be detached for test sample production purposes. Samsung also plans to join the EU’s R&D and test efforts to develop new eco-friendly processing methods. IBM unveils world’s first 5nm chip - Ars Technica notable for being one of the first to use horizontal gate-all-around (GAA) transistors, and the first real use of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. 2D, 3D, and back to 2D First transistors where 2D FinFETs where dev and where 3D GAAFETS are FinFETs set sideways fin is now a silicon nanowire GAAFETs may go all the way down to 3nm, especially when combined with EUV. No one really knows what comes after 3nm. Are you interested in seeing a blog series for the synth we're working on? Let us know! Special thanks to whixr over at Tymkrs for the intro and outro!
