  1. Why are you adverse from using a pulsed load resistor? Depending on the power bank, the pulse only needs to be once every 15 seconds. The average load will be in the <1 mA range.
  2. I'm not sure they will think much about it. Electronics suppliers and shipping costs go hand in hand. They don't figure the shipping until everything is packed, much after you ordered. Digikey, Mouser and even TI (who IIRC uses Digikey) as prime examples. 9 bucks for a 2 pound package is about normal.
  3. Yeah, VIH levels are tricky. The AVR Mega line is supposed to accept VCC * 0.6 as input high, but that's the minimum. So 3 at 5V. But if your at 5.1V and the input is at 2.9V...
  4. Well, it does have the COM pin, which is typically tied to VCC/Vsup when you drive an inductive load/motor. It's the common pin for the built in flyback diodes. But the ULN2003 doesn't have active logic that needs its own supply.
  5. Mifare classic hasn't been compatible with most galaxy phones from the S4 generation and up. Mifare classic is basically broken out the box by NXP, and since they don't license out, all the phones with broadcom NFC radios can't access them.
  6. I don't think mDNS is what OP wants. More like Dynamic DNS.
  7. Just local? From a single PC, use a host file. This requires a static ip on the device. For a network, try checking your router's configuration. It can either map single static IPs to a hostname, or allow mapping a mac address to a hostname. Or allows mapping a mac to a specific DHCP lease, which can then be mapped to a hostname. From the device, edit the code so that it registers a hostname with the DHCP server. A bit more complex.
  8. And keep in mind to try previous TI coupon codes too. Sometimes they forget to disable them.

    If you are using i2c, and have properly coded the i2c open-collector (output ground and high-z input, never output high), you don't really need the 2231 as a level translator. But this really seems like a coding issue. we can't help without your code.
  10. A small project. G2211 PIR Sensor 5630 LED strips On/Off button Button Doubles as Test Mode Board half way done. Using a Reg104 DPAK (I'll stick to a TO-220 next time) as the regulator, and MMBT3904 sot-23 transistors on a board of my own design. The base resistors should be on the back, but I didn't have the right value 0805/1206 resistors at the time. Quite proud of my clean, flush mount, perfect fit for the button, led, and sensor. Two tricks. One, I used two pins to provide high to low, and low to high interrupts, instead of swapping the interrupt in code, since I won't
  11. Does it? g2211. Or any of the basic valueline launchpad ones
  12. I always use the calibrated 1 MHz DCO as the main code clock. This sets the SMCLK to the DCO. BSCTL1 = CALBC1_1MHZ; DCOCTL = CALDCO_1MHZ; I currently use the Watchdog in timer mode, set to SMCLK divided by 32. This gives me 32 interrupts per second (1 Mhz / 32 = 31.25 kHz). WDTCTL = WDT_MDLY_32; Problem is that this when I am using the Watchdog on the SMCLK, I can't go lower than LPM0 (SMCLK + DCO), which is a power hog compared to LPM3 (ACLK on). I also don't want to use the external crystal. So, how can I use the Watchdog timer on the VLO/ACLK, while keeping the main on the cali
  13. A timer based delay will not work like you are expecting. First, every 49 times the code loops, you run Delay(). Which resets the timer (TA1CTL = TACLR). So the interrupt never happens. Second, You don't do anything in the interrupt. You don't clear the flag. You don't run any code. Third, your expecting it to block your main code. It won't. It runs in the background, allowing your code to continue. That's why you see most Timer based delays using LPM. LPM stops the main code until the timer interrupt happens, and then starts running the code again. If you want something to wor
  14. Nice. Of course, the launchpads run at 3.5V, and have USB/5V available, which in my experience is enough to power the lcd, with logic at 3.5V talking just fine with them. But that's kludgy so nice write up.
  15. Today, while trying to create a motion sensing Pantry light, using a HC-SR505 mini PIR sensor, was the overly sensitive sensor. I was trying to power it directly from the Launchpad's 3.5V line, but it kept retriggering and retriggering for no reason! It has a beefy 22
