Sofle Keyboard without rotaries? in c/[email protected]

Try the Lotus 58. You get a bit more options over all.

I love that you can add instances and view them without having to sign into an account for that instance in c/[email protected]

Cool thanks!

Oil draining over the hot exhaust? Sounds good guys, let's sign it off and start production! in c/[email protected]

No, this is not asshole design. If the oil port was sticking further out, it’s gets knocked off if you lay the bike down. And then you have no oil at all, and a blown up motor.

It’s by good design the oil port is recessed. Yes it’s annoying to use a funnel, but it’s the preferable option.

Well the problem with that is when you lay the bike down, the oil port gets shaved off and you lose all your oil. Don’t ask me how I know.

So yeah, it’s a PITA to use a funnel, but it’s still the preferable option.

What am I missing, how is this done?

Lemmy.world was having mayor issues today, so not surprising if something broke.

Is it just me or did Lemmy suddenly became more active now that Sync for Lemmy is released? in c/[email protected]

Actually, I prefer liftoff

Well, I guess I'm making a controller then (lemmy.world)

Having always been somewhat annoyed I can't simply place a Pro Micro (or for that matter any other controller) over on top of a hot-swap socket without either turning it sideways, loosing pins, or some other creative solution.

So after trying to find other smaller controllers, but always ending up with a compromise, I finally got fed up with it, and started designing one of my own that is just large enough to fit the purpose.

RP2040 powered of course, and with a mid mount USB type C, the design is extremely low profile and fairly barebones with no status LED, no buttons, etc. making it easy and cheap to produce. And with 26 pin, there are 23 IO pins available for matrix and other things. VBUS detection for easy use with split keyboards, but beyond that stripped of anything fancy.

The boot/reset signals are available as castellated connections next to the USB, and only really meant for the first flashing/emergency flashing, as the rest would be handled by tapping a keycode to enter bootloader from within QMK/ZMK.

Edit: Added D+/- as jumpered breakouts on pins, se below. Also added a pin high/low for assigning sides on a split (useful for handwiring)

Tesla was so swamped with complaints about driving ranges that it created a secret team to cancel owners' service appointments, source says in c/[email protected]

That’s not he projected range shown on the display. That’s the actual range the battery will give you.

They temporarily removed a bit of the safety margin built in to reduce battery wear, allowing people to get out of harms way without a stop to charge if they were on the limit. But only for people moving away from The affected area, etc. so smart and helpful.
