  • Which electronic kit should I get ? Absolute beginner
    1 project | /r/AskElectronics | 10 Dec 2023
    I learned from looking at example code in the Arduino IDE (a really good and free code editor https://www.arduino.cc/en/software). The Arduino IDE allows you to add more boards (like ESP32, ESP8266, Tiny etc.) so you're not limited to using only their Arduino boards.
  • Robot Tour Software Problems
    1 project | /r/scioly | 6 Dec 2023
    Based on what I am seeing from the Keystudio website, the software you need is just the Arduino IDE. This can be downloaded from Arduino.cc for most operating systems, including Mac OSX. You may need to install support for other boards or install libraries to make it work with the Arduino and hat included with the kit.

    Download and install the Arduino IDE. After installation, open the IDE to the first sketch.

    Well, your first course of action would be to download the software - https://www.arduino.cc/en/software

    1 project | /r/arduino | 13 May 2023
    You can download the IDE from here.
  • arduino leonardo
    1 project | /r/arduino | 13 May 2023
    You will need to download and install the Arduino IDE to do that. I would suggest the Legacy 1.8.x IDE or the Arduino Web Editor (which will still require that you install some software on your computer to help transfer the program to the Arduino).

    Wiring: You're on the right track with your wiring assumptions. The red wire should connect to the 5V pin, the black wire to the GND pin, and the green wire to one of the analog input pins (A0-A5) on the Arduino Leonardo. For example, you can connect the green wire to the A0 pin. Programming the Arduino Leonardo: To translate the handbrake input to Assetto Corsa, you'll need to program the Arduino Leonardo to act as a USB HID (Human Interface Device). This will allow your computer to recognize it as a game controller. First, you'll need to install the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) on your computer. You can download it from the official website: https://www.arduino.cc/en/software

    You can also use Rufus. It has options to customize Windows 11 and one of them is to disable the hardware module requirement.

    You can use Rufus: https://rufus.ie/en/

    To modify the ISO to turn off hardware check and TPM support for Windows 11 to install it on an unsupported PC.

    Besides Linux and BSD Unix there is: https://reactos.org/ https://aros.sourceforge.io/ https://www.haiku-os.org/ and https://www.arcanoae.com/arcaos/

    I know some third-world nations still use DOS and the BORLAND DOS compilers because people donate old computers to their nations.

    With the right OS, old computers are still usable. Please don't throw them away, e-cycle them so they get used by poor nations that cannot afford new PCs.

    3. NVMe drives may not gracefully handle sudden disconnections, because USB connections are inherently unreliable interfaces prone to physical disruption and loss of power.

    If your drive decides to stop showing up, first try loading up the boot device selection screen in the UEFI, and then insert the drive. It may take several seconds to show up. If trying that a few times doesn’t work, the drive may be stuck in a bad state, and might be recovered with the power cycle technique https://dfarq.homeip.net/fix-dead-ssd/

    Always set up automatic backups if you actually have non-replaceable data on the drive. They can and will just suddenly die forever with loss of all data, just like thumb drives. You have been warned.

    All that said, there are generally less issues if you are simply putting ventoy on it to install from a loaded iso.

    I have a dual raid1 sata enclosure that I use to boot a windows to go install created with Rufus (https://github.com/pbatard/rufus), which makes testing and benchmarking so much nicer to deal with. I’ve even stuck games on it, and other than relative filesystem slowness it works pretty great.

    The author has extensive documentation and tutorial content. First steps: download CD image, download Rufus (http://rufus.ie), write the image to the flash drive, remember that this will clear the data on the flash drive and it will not be recoverable.
