Re: Mikroe AlphaNum R Click (TI TLC5926) component

Hi

Totally agree on the rapid development aspect. Modules from know quality suppliers can save time and money.

Once it arrives we won't hear from Martin until he figures it out :)

Re: Mikroe AlphaNum R Click (TI TLC5926) component

Hi

I looked at the link and think it an expensive purchase (around £90+) especially as the associated datasheet informs it has a DB25 connector for connection to a computer's printer port and is compatible with OS's that disappeared decades ago :lol:

Clearly documentation hasn't been updated ...

Re: Anyone using Mikroe Click boards on this forum?

Hi

I do like the idea of them for precisely the reasons you give, but decided that Matrix eBlocks offered a better fit especially as I was already using their multi-programmer.

Re: Wireless module!

Hi

Mine were bought cheap... So quality would be questionable.

It didn't have an antenna coil, you had to use a length of wire.

I am not condemning all of them, just that the ones I had were way too much trouble for what they offered. For little more I could get reasonable LoRa modules that ...

Re: Wireless module!

Hi

It was a few years back I played with the units and what Martin writes sounds familiar.

I needed to use a long preamble and you do need to know exactly how your data will be transmitted so you know how to decode it (e.g. each bit will have a width of x-mS or such like). Best to use a slow rate ...

Re: Wireless module!

Hi Jorgen

They look similar those cheap (really cheap) modules available from all the usual places and if so, they are truly terrible. They may not be the same though so I'm not going to put you off.

The ones I looked at a few years back were probably OK-ish for simple On/Off over short distances ...

Re: Using FVR on a adc channel

Hi

You mentioned issues with your breadboard but personally I have found far, far more issues with jumpers.

Many you get "free" are a complete liability as the quality is non existent. The pins are close, but not exactly the dimensions to ensure reliable connection.

A couple of years ago I went ...

Re: So Obvious.......

Hi

I can get quite into the RPi family but then my attention is forced away, more so if travelling but I can still write / simulate in Flowcode so things aren't too bad.

I bought a micro-windows machine, about three inches square in size, years ago and have never found a use for it. It runs W10 ...
