Proof of concept #KiCad addon: #Datasheet Application Notes.
You edit the form with the component values, it calculates the parameters from them and injects them in the schematics that is copied to the clipboard.

(oh, and it's using KiCad's new plugin API so requires 9.0 with API enabled)
My latest blog post: Make Cisco Catalyst 2960-X switches run almost silently
https://mikecoats.com/cisco-2960x-quiet/
Cisco Catalyst 2960-X 48-port PoE switches can be had on eBay for under £100. This seems like a great deal until you power them up. They have a single blower fan and it screams; during normal operation they're unreasonably loud for most homes.
Great conversation between Steven Claeyssens (Koninklijke Bibliotheek of the Netherlands, @sclaeyssens ) and Beth Knazook (Digital Repository Ireland, @bethknazook) on the the use of Datasheets for Digital Cultural Heritage Datasets
Trying to understand a datasheet of a NTC, Murata NXFT15XH103FEAB021. They specify the beta/B value, very good, I understand how to calculate temperature / resistance with it.
But they also mention other B-Constants as "Reference Values" for different temperature ranges. I don't understand what they want to tell me with them. Can anyone explain?

@lamp Well, #Apple really are assholes in terms of #longevity because they literally will run the silicon to the #datasheet-spec'd maximums even if that hurts the lifetime of the hardware...
Add to that the fact that they don't know how to design shit, and you get these results...
I have a #chip which doesn't exist on the internet.
Can the Fediverse help me find a #datasheet ?
It's marked as AM330, from the Chinese company Amicro Semiconductor. The website has no info, but it seems to be a #microcontroller for navigation.
Makes sense, I found it inside a #robot #vacuum, OEM model KK320.
I'd like to reprogram the robot, but I need to know at least the pinout. Help, Fedi!
Who can help me identify this chip?
#electronics
It's from an mp3 player and I need the pin layout or #datasheet #schematics
Someone I know is looking for the #Sony CX1063AP #datasheet… Anyone?
So I dug around until I found a #current part that exceeds all the #specs of the old one. Of course it's a different size, and a completely #incompatible #pinout, so I'm going to have to #bodge it, but I half-expected that anyway.
Just getting a #datasheet for the old part, to figure out what specs it had to have, was surprisingly #difficult. What is it with some companies thinking the specs for the product they want you to buy are Top Secret?

These Lumex 1602 character LCDs (LCM-S01602DSR/C) I found in #ewaste have the polarity of pins 1 and 2 swapped when compared to the more typical Hitachi HD44780U 1602 displays commonly used in #Arduino projects

Good Morning, fellow #RetroComputing #Fedizens !
Let's start the day with some #NewRetro goodness for motivation, shall we?
Yesterday, I built a small test setup to connect the #My4th machine to a #Breadboard which is equipped with a #BMP180 #Temperature #Sensor.
Then, I went ahead and used what little #Forth I have learned so far along with the My4th custom words 'i2c-start', 'i2c-send', 'i2c-recv' and 'i2c-stop' to try to read raw temperature data from the sensor. And: it works!
I now need to figure out how I can get a reasonable temperature value from it, checking the BMP180 #Datasheet again ...
Obviously, looking through my junk stack, I found what is probably the successor of that chip, the TK9207. No idea about what's different, because for this too there's no #datasheet...
Anyone with Infos or #datasheet for PLL52C05S or TK9107-2 ICs? Should be PLLs found on some 386/486 #motherboards. I'm collecting components to build https://github.com/Marco-Both/M396F-Replika, but these seems to be made of #unobtainium
I finally got to scanning, processing, and uploading the TMS 99532 #datasheet that I bought a few weeks ago, in order to #liberate some documentation for it for #retrocomputing enthusiasts.
