Minimal and super efficient everything, usually software. Perfectionism.
robots, ballistics, chemistry, electornics and all that cool etc stuff. I love some art and music(classical style melodies) btw.

❤️

I am intolerant to inefficiency, for instance: not compiled programming languages(Python, etc).

Generally do not like AI, vibecoding.

I do not like ranting.(edit: Not always)

I want to learn.

I try to be kind. I am sorry if I offended you.

#kicad #schematic #electronics
I did my first schematic(WIP) ever, in KiCad.

I have to wire it on the perfboard now. I do not want to do that, it will be a mess probably. If only there was some tool to automatically find optimal/close-to-optimal layout. I have 3.3V, 5V, 6V, 12V(battery) on a single board. I did not add buck converters yet(6v, 6v)

Any perfboard layout tips are welcome! :blobcat_mlem:

Complaining⚠️ :
I kind of did not like the workflow.
I wish it was a lot more automatic, parametric like geometry CADs.

Dragging components is scary, it breaks everything:
- wires connect randomly
- things just stay in place, disconnect

I want automatic wire routing and arrangement on schematic, I just specify what connects to what, and it won't change those connections.

I wanted something that feels like writing Rust, when the tooling is smart and robust. This felt very manual like traditional graphical editor, word-processor.

@pabloyoyoista Cool to see young people interested in postmarketOS! That is great. Btw, I was ≈ 14.7yr old when I did something pmos related in github. I mean probably there are more very young people in pmos community than thought. https://github.com/Soupborsh/lk2nd/commit/1111181f6315fe9840557772d615490738098c9a

In my school, there is c#, visual studio and windows forms etc bloat in 10th grade ICT programme and exam.

Thats why I am choosing chemistry instead in 11th grade.

I will do 7 days(or more, idk why 7) no gen ai challenge starting from now.

Will probably use forums, ask people to get info. I suspect it may be socially beneficial to me, although seemingly more time consuming, but maybe still better.

Should I buy myself a fancy soldering iron if I succeed?

I needed it fixed, so I just sticked it to move on.

It frustrated me, so I tried to remove it gently.

I like these small cute breadboards :openbsd: :blobcatheart:

@elly Is this true replacing without chain loading?

@th Is this real? Please do not increase entropy ineffectively, make it do useful work.

Currently, for me embedded rust embassy coding and rewriting drivers is easier than mechanical designing. I know what to do approximately at least.

How do I figure out how to best shape my parts and whole shape of small car robot.

Like how do I figure out design for 3d printing ackermann geometry and attach wheels. I need less friction and more durability.

Figuring out and deciding is far more long and hard than actual FreeCADing, or any process like programming.

@amd@gts.amd.im Alpine linux maybe? I did not use it but want to try because of minimalism. I use Arch with minimal Sway as WM. Good.
