I've been pretty quiet lately! Conference season pretty much wrapped up after the 16th, and I've continued the headlong #KiCad / #PCB design streak I started a couple months ago.

Since fixing my @kicad setup ~3 weeks ago, I've done...
- 2 new #Charmware designs (will post tests soon!)
- Upgraded my #ESP8266 programmer planchette! (ordered yesterday)
- New modified Joule Thief board for the holidays! (ordered tonight)

...And various other things, like this #Hades gem concept :D

Happy place. <3

A group of master's students had a problem with serial communication between #ESP8266 modules. They asked #ChatGPT for help.

The wise LLM argued that serial communication can only run at 9600 bps (very wrong) which would be too slow for their use case. ChatGPT then suggested that the students should switch to I2C instead - which would have cost them a lot of time and would not have worked well for their use case.
