Yeah, modern is a bit of a stretch, the GUI is only modern relative to LTSpice. The syntax suggestion when typing looks useful, and maybe the C++/Verilog blocks would expand the parametrization capabilities. Right now I kinda cycle between LTSpice, PSpice for TI, and QUCS, and the latter two are the most powerful.

Haha I deal with the same thing with my GCP -- waiting 10 mins to warm-up, and then pulling a shot. Some extra warm-up time for this might be nice though, I'm wondering if it will be a noticeable difference.

That's really cool to see. I have a GCP and I haven't yet modified it, but I'm tempted to do this. I've cross-posted to /c/[email protected] :)

To get more into espresso i finally got a used gaggia classic and upgraded it with a replacement controller running the open source gaggiuino project.

Fully with loadcell scales, pressure sensor, pid temperature control and a hand soldered all in one pcb.

You can also use standard arduino style modules for most components but the pcb makes it much more compact and reliable.

In this case the modifications are fully reversible in case a future owner wants to revert it back to stock.

Works great and automates a lot of steps to be more consistent. Now i just need to practice the manual parts of making espresso ;)

Note: this is not my project, i just documented the build process on my machine. Maybe it helps someone to get an overview what goes into such a conversion and inspires more users to attempt it.

The community is already pretty big and many also adapted the project for other machines.

I haven't had Stumptown beans in forever, but they're great. I've had Hair Bender & Founder's Blend, both of which I would recommend. I haven't tried Homestead yet. Do you adjust the temperature of the water at all when dialing in lighter roasts? I've heard higher temps can lead to better extraction for those.

[–] phreedf 1 points 2 years ago

Done! Sorry for the delay.

 

Probably my favorite performance of the latter song, but I also appreciate this for the combination of both. Seeing The Fragile vinyl encouraged me to search for this again.

Awesome! I love this album. What are your favorites on there? I have "The Way Out is Through" and "Just Like You Imagined" on repeat a bit too often...

Is it possible to have a relative link on Lemmy for posts and comments? I've been able to link to local communities with the /c/[email protected] notation, but when I look at the same post on two different instances, the ID in the URL is different, so I'm not sure how to link a relative path to a post (or to a comment).

Thanks for copying over this list! I'll have to share this with a friend who is starting to work with FPGAs.

[–] phreedf 2 points 2 years ago

Yes! How'd you make the lady fingers? I had used this recipe in the past, the hardest part (after getting that desired texture of the meringue) was piping the mixture onto the baking sheet. Getting them consistent was difficult. I might have to get a mold for next time.

Here is the recipe for reference: tiramisu cheesecake. I've also made the regular tiramisu recipe and it was really good.

 

Made this cake today using a recipe from Addicted to Dates. Ended up using animal crackers for the crust since I couldn’t find honey-free graham crackers nor digestive biscuits. Came out great though!

Oh yeah, those potting/epoxy materials can be really annoying to remove. At work we have some prototypes that someone decided needed Silastic everywhere... so half of the debugging time is peeling that stuff away. At least that stuff in particular is easy to peel :)

I had been thinking of making a shittyveganfoodporn community, but haven't had any good shitty vegan food porn to post... also probably don't have time to moderate it. But I'm working on a vegan tiramisu cheesecake (from Addicted to Dates) as we speak, so I'll have some regular vegan food porn to post.

Thanks for starting this community! Maple syrup making sounds fun. What have been some of the most difficult reworks you’ve successfully completed?

For those uninitiated and those interested in Smith Charts, check out this video from w2aew. I recommend his channel for all things RF related.

Calling all electrical and computer engineers, students, and hobbyists interested in the subject. Do you have burning questions about the field (and sub-fields)? Do you have a schematic or layout you'd like the community to review? Did you let the magic smoke out? You did, didn't you? That's all fine. Come share your questions, experiences, thoughts, articles, etc. with us.

Thought it could be fun to get a thread going on what beans we're currently using, maybe with some pertinent details on the brew variables if you feel inclined to share.

This past week I've been using Portrait Coffee's Toni, a medium-roast single-origin from Brazil, roasted in Atlanta. I've been really pleased with the taste of my pulls with a 1:2 ratio. Great chocolatey notes, which is what I typically seek.

 

One of my favorite performances from Radiohead. I feel that this album can bring out some stronger views among fans than other albums. Thom's performance of Bloom at Electric Lady Studios is also a must-watch.

 

One of my favorite performances, the wind moving the curtains and the ambiance makes me feel like I'm transported there. Rob's YouTube channel has a ton of great NIN videos.
