March 2022 wrap-up

🇺🇸 · Spark Studio Salem · Spark Studio Salem

FIRST TUESDAY SOCIAL – MARCH (featured image: Gary working on a COB light) 11 people attended (including a first time visitor) We talked about the large collection of electronic parts that Microportal has been sharing at their meetings (aka, ‘The Dragon Hoard’), and talked about how to use pulse-width modulation to dim some of the COB (Chip-On-Board) lights from the hoard. One person showed off his Pico Pi, $4 for 132Mhz board with 8 IO pins. Another person shared his progess on doing a custom battery ‘torque/endurance’ upgrade for a mobility scooter. It was mentioned that EDX.org currently has a free course on ROS (Robotics Operating System). Discussed details / costs to turn our mill into CNC when we’re ready, could have a nice implementation for around $700. It was noted that Microportal Electronics Club is having their 10th anniversary open house meeting at Chemeketa Community College on March 22. Contact [email protected] for details.

Por qué necesitábamos una nueva forma de construir sitios web Cuándo Apple lanzó el iPhone en el 2007, el desarrollo web no estaba preparado para tan sustancial cambio en la realidad de usuarios y programadores. Tener una tienda de aplicaciones con un gran mercado de clientes y una gran suma de pagos, hizo que Apple optara por cerrar su ecosistema y controlar prácticamente todo en el desarrollo de aplicaciones. Dejando fuera del juego a millones de programadores potenciales. Al pasar de los años, la web ha ido creciendo y afinando. Cada vez son más las APIs nativas que podemos usar directamente sobre los navegadores, por ejemplo, usar la cámara, grabar video, grabar audio, obtener la ubicación del dispositivo, entre un montón más. Hoy en día podemos ver un gran avance en el conocimiento medio de javascript entre los programadores, esto garantiza un sin fin de recursos y documentación disponible para los que se van iniciando, además de garantizar también la solución de problemas fuertes como la optimización en la carga y procesamiento de sitios web. Un ejemplo claro es

Here are some common issues and resolutions that may help. Common Issues Vinyl Cutter issues and resolutions. Problem Resolution Cutter is running very slow. If you look at the LCD, the top of the readout is the speed in mm/s. If it is at 100, someone accidentally hit the down arrow and set the speed very slow. Ideal speed is 300 mm/s and 80 to 100 grams of pressure. Try hitting the up arrow to increase the speed.
