    why does the R4 wifi have a Quick Connect I2C port if it has limited I2C speeds. The logic behind the R4 series just confuses me. Yes, I do use them for certain projects, but if they instead kept making the R3 but with an ESP32 that can work with it or an affordable ESP32 like everyone else, they might actually do better. Literally the only benefit I find is a 5v pin, but most projects could just use an ESP32 shield, and if you use the Mega, you get far more pins. The R3 with a Wifi Shield is objectively better for more projects, the way they do it with two different microcontrollers on it, it just makes it far inferior to a standard ESP32 development board for most projects because of how much more difficult it is to communicate with the board.

    The most terrible video about pointers.....Kinding : there's a lot out there.... Your exposé is confusing, not clear at all. Be more practical. Memory operations, via pointers, are easy you just have to keep in mind what's involved when you use them and that's all!!! The first idea is : YOUR PROGRAM NEEDS A MEMORY PLACE TO BE LOADED INTO BY THE SYSTEM THAT WILL EXECUTE IT. SO THIS SYSTEM WIIL LOAD YOUR PROGRAM IN HIS MEMORY. The second idea that goes along these pointers is : USUALLY, YOUR PROGRAM NEED SOME MEMORY THAT HE DOESN'T HAVE TO WORK ON SOME DATAS. SO IT NEEDS TO HAVE IT BY THE SYSTEM IN WHICH IT IS EXECUTED But your variable isn't a pointer that your program will use to retrieve it's value from too? Sorry but as time goes by I hear different kinda-fashioned-thing about pointer that scratch my ears... Althought pointers are not so complicated to undestand, don't need a so long video to explain it's almost the dumbest thing in computers stuff...) you just need to keep in your brain these two first main thing and, this : A so called "pointer" is a variable that store a memory cell number!!! And that's it!!!! The type that all language want you to put in front/or nearby is just a matter of language : a strong typed language is just a help for the programmer to write better/bigger programs whith ease and to let you intentionally wrtite/built it.... Assembler deals with memory adress all the time but does'nt have the ease of type C (or others...) has!! But assembler is the fastest!!! But he must request an extra memory place to work with by calling a system method. How a system can run different program in its memory if all use the memory as they want : it will be a mess!!!! And that's all it's simple common sens!!!

      Thanks for your feedback! You're right that pointers become easy once you understand them - but that's a challenge for beginners. This video specifically targets Arduino Uno beginners who are often encountering pointers for the first time. I focus on practical examples because I've found that pure theory can be overwhelming for newcomers to programming. While experienced programmers like yourself might prefer a more direct technical approach, my teaching style aims to build understanding through hands-on examples that beginners can relate to.

    Would the RTC mismatch account for a timer triggered by holding a button to take longer than intended? For instance, instead of it taking 10 seconds, it takes 10.2 seconds?

    • @playduino
      @playduino 8 днів тому

      without knowing the details, I'm pretty sure that the answer is no. Your timer will most likely run on the HOCO oscillator which has a tolerance of 1.5% (worst case would be 10.15s but very unlikely) I think there is some other code issue that causes this issue in your case.

    Hilarious. The R4 minima actually HAS all the proper pads to place a proper crystal (so you can literally buy, and add it back yourself)... but they decided to penny pinch on that!? It's not placed on the board. If it had a proper crystal, and then the RTC based on the high speed clock, it would use normal chip power, but it should be as accurate as many other RTCs. Of course most MCUs also have their 'XTAL' pins, which allows operating the chip at very low power mode with a specific 32khz external crystal, which is nice if you want battery operation with decent timing. The R4 Wifi, well they decided they needed to sacrifice the crystal-stabilized high speed clock source entirely in order to use those pins for the LED display. Hilariously, the R4 Wifi is effectively two MCUs in one, it has an ESP32-S3 onboard as well. Because that is a chip-on-board module, it comes with its own honest-to-goodness 40Mhz crystal inside the metal can, that Arduino don't believe in. So if you can program it, the ESP32-S3 MCU's timing and RTC abilities are probably streets ahead on average better than what the RA4M1 can do, simply because the latter got gimped of all crystals by the board design. If you give these chips proper crystals on either of their high speed or low speed clock pins, they will have a reasonably accurate timing/RTC just the same as any other. For this reason all the ATMega328 Arduino Unos will be roughly accurate (as you found), operating as they are from a bog standard 16Mhz crystal. But at least they were given a crystal! If you calibrate the older Unos' frequency out (i.e, software correct the initial frequency error of the crystal as it is shipped in the board), they'll probably be just as accurate as any normal quartz watch. 10 years ago, I could forgive a lot of Arduino's design mistakes/decisions. But now, to see they can't even be bothered giving their chips proper crystals for timing? It makes it very hard to want to support them with a more expensive purchase from their shop. If I buy an ESP32 or RP2040 board from China, you know what I know? All those boards will come with a crystal...

      I hear you. unfortunately placing the main oscillator does not even help because it cannot be used as clock source for the RTC. www.renesas.com/en/document/mah/renesas-ra4m1-group-users-manual-hardware?r=1054146 and they just left the pins for the sub-clock oscillator unconnected, very hard to solder.

    The millis() drift is interesting. Given that it is interrupt driven, I rather suspect that any sketch which calls Arduino code where interrupts are disabled temporarily, will affect the drift too.

    No computer should be used for clock reference w/o resorting to a proper clock. I use GPS if possible (1 sec tick interrupt - or faster - such as 25Hz in some applications). Properly setup I can get the interrupt in less than 100 ns (Rasp Pi, not sure for Arduino). (Stand alone RTL, no Linux). Of course with GPS you need access to a sky view. Or, use NTP for sub 10ms accuracy. Or - get a GPS disciplined oscillator - still needs a sky view.

    • @playduino
      @playduino 9 днів тому

      My MacBook's clock gets synced to NTP at least every hour, I believe. Looking at the graph, I would expect to see noticeable jumps if the onboard clock was significantly inaccurate - which I didn't observe. I agree though, using GPS would be the best solution for these kinds of experiments. However Arduino Uno R4's RTC is so poor that you could probably use a McDonald's Happy Meal watch to measure the deviation

    • @AlanTheBeast100
      @AlanTheBeast100 9 днів тому

      @@playduino It depends. When I use a random collection of about 50 ntp sites, the board timer (RaspPi) will drift 10 uSec over a period of about 1 hour, but then jump back (usually closer to realtime, but sometimes away) when the NTP hits. In these tests, Apple, Microsoft and some other "big name" NTP's typically come out with 1 - 3 ms error whereas others spread over about 1 - 10 ms. So your Apple devices benefit from Apple's "aggressively good" NTP service (unless you change the name of the NTP server to something not so good). This is based on very - very accurate - dedicated to task, single purpose code that owns the RaspPi (and of course getting 1PPS ticks from a GPS).

    Great fun. Thanks for showing the failures, that taught me a lot about trial and error

    The reason why you had to increase your output voltage might be the lower ambient temperature outside. It naturally cools the wire and prevents firing.

      Yes, however the biggest factor I think (i did not verify it) should be the resistance of the long wire to the rocket. It was pretty thin

    All those great improvements are nice but not worth the price. I'll stick to ESP32 for now.

    Does anybody know what tool is being used for the visualization at 2:52 ?

    • @playduino
      @playduino 19 днів тому

      It's called Altium Online Viewer. You can download the Arduino design files from arduino.cc and visualize them there.

    Tbh, I don't even know why to use Arduino, especially original one. Raspberry Pi Pico is much cheaper, has choice of using more SDKs (C++ cross compiler and some tools, Arduino, Micropython, maybe FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ...), extra wifi/ble is for like 1.5EUR, it has way more RAM and Flash, less EEPROM, much faster CPU. C++ and Python code can be prototyped at PC. I like Arduino Pro Mini for some battery powered projects, but I'm getting curious about Nordic Semiconductor nRF52 line.

    Esphome's remote transmitter does have a repeat option you can use instead of pasting the command repeatedly.
