Hi all I have serial data in 14 byte packets on which I'd like to detect and correct errors. Two bit errors would be nice. I can put 2 extra EDC bytes on the end to make a 16 byte packet. I don't have the resources for Reed-Solomon. I could use a 16 bit CRC, these are easy to generate with a small/moderate LUT. In the past, I've used a CRC16 for single bit error detection and c...

I suppose I should ask what is Putin thinking, really. I read Russia has moved missiles close to Finland's border... nuclear capable missiles! Is that supposed to make Finland more comfortable about not joining NATO? Finland may not have a choice. Turkey is making noises about vetoing their application. But that may just be posturing to gain some concessions. Working the system... I'm...

Today the electric cars are the quickest on the road. The classic petrol muscle cars are vying for the silver medal. Was it obvious to the designers, from day one, that this would be the case? Is it simply a power/weight calculation? I'm congenitally leery of simple explanations - -- Rich

Here's a paper on the theory of crystal ovens: There's a lot more to it than just slapping a crystal & heater in a metal box and calling it a day! There are probably some pathologically bad geometries even a really fast control loop can never stabilize very well. The part about the outer can acting like a Faraday shield is interesting, shunting

Any Tesla drivers here? I heard of this silly incident where someone forced the hatch shut by hand rather than pushing the button, and by doing so immobilized the car. Apparently, when you do that, it believes the hatch is still open and refuses to move. Don't you love modern cars? Comments? Jeroen --the driver should always have the final word-- Belleman

Elon Musk taking over Twitter will be just another brand of censorship. BTW... About a week ago, for some strange reason YouTube went ballistic with shadow banning. Apparently they are trying to cut down on replies to original posts (similar to what Amazon did with product reviews), in the most unusual way. As long as there are censors, there will be corruption. Letting people decide ...

John Durham's team asked the judge to p

Hi, I am experimenting with ultra-low power ideas and I was able to simulate a 30Hz relaxation oscillator running at 45nA/1V. I am waiting for the delivery of high-value resistors, but the same oscillator with resistors scaled down 10x works on the bench and consumes ~380nA/3V/360Hz which is still pretty awesome. This real device has been made of BSS123/BSS84 operating in the subth...
