Beginners / Re: Why are thermal jumpers so expensive?
« Last post by tooki on Today at 10:44:16 am »
Somewhat similar and a possible replacement could be a high resistance SMD resistor, like this: https://www.digikey.de/de/products/detail/vishay-beyschlag-draloric-bc-components/MCA1206MD1005BP100/11196602.
Price is similar, too: 33 cents in 1000s.

Nonsense.

If you look at the datasheet, those resistors are made on Al2O3 ceramic, which is a very different material (aluminum oxide) from aluminum nitride. Aluminum oxide ceramic has thermal conductivity 2-10 times worse than aluminum nitride. Sure, either is better than the FR-4 PCB substrate, but they aren’t substitutes for thermal jumpers.

Other Equipment & Products / Re: Any opinions on the Aixun T420D?
« Last post by Tor Björn on Today at 10:43:43 am »
The c115 handle is connected directly to the station?
Yes, T115A handle with modified plug (with added "stanby" pin #4 and wire soldered to it) is connected directly to the host. Other end of the added wire must be connected to mast with bracket for T115A handle.
Yellow pair must be disconnected from mast's nut because this pair is "standby" pin signal of cradle's plug that also connected with T245/210 bracket and work with other channel (T245A handle in my case).
Sorry for my English, I can't explain it in any more detail or more clearly. 
...
Also I'm impressed you were able to get the device for so cheap. The cheapest I could find before aliexpress coupons was $210 for a T420 with single C245 handle.
Did you purchase a C115 handle version (T405) (which I saw for around $170 on the store you mentioned) and then bought a separate C245 handle?
Astray,
I bought a T420 in the T245A configuration at a bestboard Store for $161.
T420 in the T245A configuration (with T245A handleincluded, but without specific mast with hangle bracket for T115A handle) have a regular price for $181.48 at this store. I used a $20 coupon at "anniversary sale". But similar coupones of promocodes you can get it very often. Aliexpress holds different sales almost every month.
I bought the hangle (mast) with suspension (bracket) for the T115A separately at the same store, $6.67 with coins per pair. The T115A handle cost $5.75.
The T115A handle i bought at the China DIYPHONE Store aslo with coins. Regular price was $8.19.








Additional cheapest T245 handle I bought for $3.03 with coins just to have a "donor's pin".

Add an EMI ground or chassis ground and connect a Y cap, it's no longer a two-lead supply.
Thanks,  and if a metal chassis is added to a DCDC, (ie its enclosure or heatsink) then its a very good idea to always connect Y caps from DCDC circuit to that  chassis anyway, for noise mitigation issues.

I dont  know if there is anyway that would say "i have not connected my metal enclosure  to the DCDC inside it and therefore i dont need a common mode filter"
....this wouldnt happen, you would always connect  DCDC circuit (usually its ground)  to chassis with y caps.

Now if the DCDC's enclosure was entirely all plastic, then it would be a different story.

Here we see a common mode filter being designed for a DCDC

You don't need 24V, it should be 20V. This is a amplifier power. You didn't specify power voltage for amplifier in first post, but label it as +24V, so I decided that your amplifier powered by 24V.
There are 3 voltage source in scheme in total: logic side power supply, floating power supply (from DC/DC) and amplifier power supply. That is all, bo more power supplies (no any +24V)

Microcontrollers / STM32H7 CortexM4 USART DMA issue
« Last post by Diego_2024 on Today at 10:32:11 am »
I'm trying to use USART + RTS only + DMA(non circular, peripheral to memory, DMA1 Stram0) on STM32H755ZIT6's M4 processor. I and D caches are enabled on M7. My code is working on M7 but it does not works on M4.

// u8* dma_rx_buffer_ = (u8*)((u32)0x24000000);
// u8* dma_rx_buffer_ = (u8*)((u32)0x38000000);
u8* dma_rx_buffer_ = (u8*)((u32)0x30000000);

int main(void)
{
    //SCB_InvalidateDCache_by_Addr((u32*)dma_rx_buffer_, 14);
    error = HAL_UART_Receive_DMA(&usart2_dma_, dma_rx_buffer_, 14);
}

as you can see I'm setting RAM_D2's address to the dma_rx_buffer_, but I can't use SCB_InvalidateDCache_by_Addr on M4.

This is M7's Flash.ld

MEMORY {   
         RAM_D1 (xrw)   : ORIGIN = 0x24000000, LENGTH =  512K
         FLASH   (rx)   : ORIGIN = 0x08000000, LENGTH = 1024K
         DTCMRAM (xrw)  : ORIGIN = 0x20000000, LENGTH = 128K
         RAM_D2 (xrw)   : ORIGIN = 0x30000000, LENGTH = 288K
         RAM_D3 (xrw)   : ORIGIN = 0x38000000, LENGTH = 64K
         ITCMRAM (xrw)  : ORIGIN = 0x00000000, LENGTH = 64K
      }

this is M4's Flash.ld

MEMORY
    {
       FLASH (rx)     : ORIGIN = 0x08100000, LENGTH = 1024K
       RAM (xrw)      : ORIGIN = 0x10000000, LENGTH = 288K
       //RAM_D2 (xrw)   : ORIGIN = 0x30000000, LENGTH = 288K
       //RAM_D3 (xrw)   : ORIGIN = 0x38000000, LENGTH = 64K
    }

I also tried to add RAM_D1 and RAM_D2 inside M4's Flash.ld file and use it like this `attribute ((section(".RAM_D2"))) attribute ((aligned (32))) u8* dma_rx_buffer_;

but no result.

I also read DMA is not working on STM32H7 devices, but can't find solution.

P.S all configurations, including DMA are correct .

Also when I'm setting different addresses for dma_rx_buffer_ then I'm getting different data.

Do I need to add MPU region for CortexM4?

Update: Configured MPU region accrding DRAM addresses, but no result, with RAM_D1, RAM_D2 or RAM_D3.

/* Disable fault exceptions */
SCB->SHCSR &= ~SCB_SHCSR_MEMFAULTENA_Msk;

/* Disable the MPU and clear the control register*/
MPU->CTRL = 0;

MPU->CTRL = MPU_PRIVILEGED_DEFAULT | MPU_CTRL_ENABLE_Msk;

SCB->SHCSR |= SCB_SHCSR_MEMFAULTENA_Msk;

__DSB();
__ISB();

MPU->RNR = MPU_REGION_NUMBER8;

//MPU->RBAR = 0x24000000;
//MPU->RBAR = 0x38000000;
MPU->RBAR = 0x30000000;
MPU->RASR = ((uint32_t)MPU_INSTRUCTION_ACCESS_ENABLE << MPU_RASR_XN_Pos)   |
            ((uint32_t)MPU_REGION_FULL_ACCESS << MPU_RASR_AP_Pos)   |
            ((uint32_t)MPU_TEX_LEVEL0 << MPU_RASR_TEX_Pos)  |
            ((uint32_t)MPU_ACCESS_SHAREABLE << MPU_RASR_S_Pos)    |
            ((uint32_t)MPU_ACCESS_CACHEABLE << MPU_RASR_C_Pos)    |
            ((uint32_t)MPU_ACCESS_BUFFERABLE << MPU_RASR_B_Pos)    |
            ((uint32_t)0x00 << MPU_RASR_SRD_Pos)  |
            ((uint32_t)MPU_REGION_SIZE_32B << MPU_RASR_SIZE_Pos) |
            ((uint32_t)MPU_REGION_ENABLE << MPU_RASR_ENABLE_Pos);

What else can I do?  |O |O

Beginners / Re: Automatic golf ball dispenser
« Last post by soldar on Today at 10:30:29 am »
The reason why I want to move away from the leaver is that it moves the bucket. Gradually over time which means it loses alignment with the tee.
Make a base that holds the tee and the dispenser in place? Or just secure the dispenser in place?

And I hate it when people come in and propose a microcontroller for something which very clearly does not require a microcontroller at all. It's like someone with a hammer looking for nails to pound.

Next question:

What are the most common ceramics used for SMT resistors?

It looks like AIN is a fairly common ceramic for thick film stuff.

Test Equipment / Re: Choosing between entry-level 12-bit DSOs
« Last post by shapirus on Today at 10:20:09 am »
this is +1 imho in rigol, lets not forget, the 2 scopes discussed here got pros and cons.
Since the Siglent can into 2 Gsa/s, it could potentially be modded to support at least 800 MHz single-channel bandwidth, if there are no further limitations in digital signal processing and/or software. I don't recall anyone mentioning or trying this though.

Hello , there is a basic confusion I have.

We have a mosfet with 24V drain its VGS i getting plugged with 15V floating from  DB02S2415A floating difference.

But in my configuration as you see the drain of the power amplifier is the source of the mosfet.



So on one side we have the floating value of GIZ but on the other hand you said i should connect to the same node 24V to 20V converter I will try to build.

So we are connecting two different voltage potentials on the same node.

Arent they going to conflict which other?

Thanks.
