Hi, I just got into tech (actually 1 year in but I still feel like I don't know anything).

I learnt python, R, SQL, Tableau and concepts in Data Structures, Algorithms.

[Just the Basic level of the listed.]

But I can't write my own programs on python or create anything.

I was hella impressed by your microprocessor project, and when I took up tech (ai and data science) I assumed I would do something like that or at least code.

Now, I am just venting but where do I start, how do I make projects what are some interesting projects, what should I learn? A lot of my seniors tell me to have a wide range of knowledge like focus on one thing by depth but add other things. For example: you can study data analytics in depth but have some knowledge in ethical hacking and web development etc. Like an all rounder.

Wow ok a lot to unpack here, I'll get started

Lots of places recommend that you start with Arduino, as there are a lot of good tutorials out there. I somewhat disagree

I think that raspberry pi is better because it's usually a lot cheaper to buy the stuff you want to play around with

But an even cooler way to do it, go to wokwi.com and start a project on a Raspberry Pi Pico (make sure it's the micropython version) and then you can get started there

Google something like "Blink led with Pi Pico micropython" and there will be a tutorial or two

Then, once you've played around for a while you can buy a Pi Pico for very little money and see your stuff work irl!

If you need any more help or have any questions, feel free to DM me and I'll see what I can do

PSA

If you want to use a Raspberry Pi Pico as a debug probe to program another Raspberry Pi Pico without the annoying BOOTSEL dance, make sure that when you run CMake on the debugprobe firmware (in the picoprobe repository), you pass DEBUG_ON_PICO=ON as option. As in,

cmake -DDEBUG_ON_PICO=ON ..

This flag is described in the Readme of that repository (also note that the repository and tool have been renamed debugprobe from picoprobe), but it's notably missing from Appendix A of the Getting started with Raspberry Pi Pico guide. That guide is probably older, before the firmware was split and renamed like that, and nobody has bothered to update it yet.

If you don't do that, the firmware will expect the SWDIO and SWCLK data on different pins than what the instructions say, and you will find yourself spending hours checking the cable connections because you keep getting "Error: Failed to connect multidrop rp2040.dap0" errors in openocd. Ask me how I know.

(Also, fuck Raspberry Pi for making so much of their otherwise really good documentation PDFs. There are several places where you need to cross-reference things, and if it were HTML, the navigation between the sections would be so much easier.)

Other tip, while we're here: Install ninja (with brew install or apt install), then when doing the cmake generating step, pass "-G Ninja" in addition. Then build by just typing "ninja" instead of "make -j4" or whatever. It's a little extra typing but it is faster and better at utilising many cores on your host computer.

Project isn't working

Connect oscilloscope to check if it's generating the signal you expect

See a signal that makes absolutely no sense

Now you're even more confused than before

シンセ開発ログ 2025-01-20: ラズパイPico用シンセPRA32-U v3.1をリリース／ラズパイPico 2用シンセPRA32-U2の開発スタート

ラズパイPico用シンセPRA32-U v3.1をリリース

PRA32-Uは、Raspberry Pi Pico（RP2040）を使った、誰でも自由に作れるシンセサイザー（USB MIDI音源）です。

今回のv3.1では、ポリモードでの空きボイス割り当て方法についてのオプション追加（リリースが効果的になるモードがデフォルトに）、簡易FM音源（サイン波の位相変調）の仕様変更、などを行いました。

これでPRA32-Uのメンテナンスは一区切りにして、これからは新作PRA32-U2の開発を進めていく予定です。

作り方：https://fabble.cc/risgk/digital-synth-pra32-u

PRA32-U v3.1での主な変更内容：

Voice Assign Mode [1|2] パラメータの追加（旧バージョンはモード2と同じ）

サイン波の位相変調（簡易FM音源）：周波数比の単位を0.25から0.5に変更、周波数比を滑らかに変化

Osc 2 Pitchの範囲を拡張（-5～+7 → -12～+12半音）

EG Osc AmtとLFO Osc AmtのPitchモジュレーション範囲を拡大（-24〜+24 → -30〜+30半音）

PRA32-U with Panel：USB MIDI経由でMIDIクロックとコマンドを送信しない（USB MIDIの送受信を同時に行うとフリーズする問題を回避するため）

PRA32-U with Panel：EGページにもFilter EG Amtパラメータを追加、パラメータ名Seq PatternをSeq Modeに変更

PRA32-U with Panel：メモリ使用量の削減（一部のコンパイルオプションでエミュレートされたEEPROMが動作しない問題を修正）

Arduino-Picoバージョン4.4.1でテスト（147.6MHzの代わりに、153.6MHzにオーバークロック）

ラズパイPico 2用シンセPRA32-U2の開発スタート

PRA32-U2は、Raspberry Pi Pico 2（RP2350）を使った、誰でも自由に作れるシンセサイザー（USB MIDI音源）です。

開発をスタートし、PRA32-U v3.1.0を移植したものをv0.1（プロトタイプ）としてリリースしました。ただし、RP2350-E9 Erratumを回避するため、PRA32-U2 with Panelでは回路を変更してINPUT_PULLUPを使用しています。

CPUやRAMの使用率はPRA32-Uの半分くらいで、リソース的にはかなり余裕がありそうです。とりあえずMulti Saw（Super Saw）を導入予定ですが、他の機能は未定です（ネタは色々あります）。ゆっくり進化させていくつもりです。

Keyboard Jiggler with Python and Raspberry Pi

So I did a pretty simple but amusing little project recently, a bit on a whim. Let’s say, I have a few games that it would be useful to just, let idle for experience or whatever. The problem is, that these games also have built-in idle deterrence. Your character falls asleep, or you just time out of the game after five or ten minutes. I initially start off trying to use AutoHotkey, a program…

The programming and wiring is finished!!

Now I just have to make a box

[Btabtablog #4?] - Future of Btabtablog

Hello, it's been a (little) while since I last posted, or even had the foggiest thought of this blog, and decided it was time to go back to it. After my mental health collapsed and I almost lost my mind and have probably failed my degree 🎉 I realised I needed to do something even mildly productive.

Projects in mind:

I have several projects in mind, nothing too bold in the hacker space. Mainly involving working on a small, compact device made for simple games, something akin to the panic playdate. The project will be a small thing, nothing too extreme, just a screen and some buttons bolted into some microcontroller such as the RPI Pico W. The next project in mind is a simple application that will work in the terminal to help build small games (ideally to also provide a backed for the Unnamed Small Pocketable Device).

When will these be?

Honestly? no idea, none. Maybe I won't do any of these things, maybe I will. I might just abandon these project ideas and do some other super cool thing, who knows? Certainly not me!

What type of GPS technology does the iPhone 15 series feature?

The latest iPhone 15 series boasts cutting-edge dual-frequency GPS technology that supports GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, BeiDou, and NavIC. This means that it can receive signals from both L1 and L5 bands simultaneously, enabling accurate and speedy navigational positioning, even in urban areas with tall buildings or dense forests and canyons.

Most notably, the iPhone 15 series is the first iPhone to support NavIC, which is India's regional navigation satellite system. Hence, the iPhone 15 series can offer more precise positioning in India and neighbouring countries.

Overall, the GPS technology in the iPhone 15 series is one of the most advanced in the market, providing reliable and fast positioning in various environments.

Now the technology that you are going to get is the iPhone 15, the same or I would say the more advanced GPS technology is used in Trekko Pico GPS Logger. I have talked a lot about this genius creation and finally, this is in the market. Trust me you can never go wrong with this product and the best part was it got funded to 100 per cent in just 15 minutes of launch, apart from that the company is also providing free vouchers and goodies.
