    I’m the winner of the last - FPGA - giveaway.
    His giveaways are legit.
    Also his style makes him a strong contender to overthrow Daniel Ricciardo as my fourth favorite Aussie. ( incredible achievement indeed )
    I’m just here bragging before he does a collab with Dave from EEVblog and explodes in YT fame.
    Furthermore, my very trusted sources in China inform me that anytime he swears PCB way machines are blessed with 10% speed boost so they can spit up additional 5 PCBs per minute. Man is single-handedly keeping PCB industry afloat. True story.

      This is the ticket for that then! I've got one customer interested in something similar. The hardest part would be setting up the CI/CD so any plates it doesn't recognise goes into the queue, then occasionally all the new plates go into the MV model, gets re-trained/compiled, and then uploaded to the eSBC and then rebooted.

    Great tutorial!
    I bought Pico Max to replace my OrangePi Zero and use it as a more energy efficient home print-server for my old HP Laser printer. The OrangePi was consuming 0.8W idle even if to switch off all the interfaces in Armbian-config and using the conservative governor for CPU, I was not able to get it lower...
    Following Wiki, I managed to flush the Alpine linux into Pico's internal SPI memory (no need for SD card), install CUPS print server and Avahi-daemon to make it discoverable in LAN. My wall socket power meter showed it consumed 0.1W, I was very happy! But for Pico there must be some additional things to be done that involved soldering, i.e. to add additional USB for power-supply (as the printer does not supply power via its USB port). This is where I messed... something was fused and the Pico burned, with nice smoke and smell... Perhaps I need to get my next Pico with presoldered GPIO pins))
    I would have to check if the battery slot can be used for power supply while the usb-c port used as a host for printer, before I burned it.

    • @PlatimaTinkers
      @PlatimaTinkers  4 місяці тому

      Nice one re getting Alpine onto the SPI flash, that is some damn low power consumption!
      That really sucks you let out the magic smoke though. You can get them with pre-soldered headers, but I've not actually seen them stocked anywhere - just referred to in the stock codes with a 'H' at the end from memory.
      And yeah the VBUS pin connects to the 5V from USB-C, so you can give that 5V directly to power it :)

    A little hint on mounting these... put the pin headers pointing up. Then setup a pcb with headers such that the module plugs in upside down. If you leave a notch on the PCB to allow for the ethernet connector, then the entire assembly is a very solid way of mounting. I discovered this method using WT32-ETH 01 in a design.

    • @PlatimaTinkers
      @PlatimaTinkers  4 місяці тому

      Interesting idea! I used to do header pins pointing up, as I did in the Pico Mini video from memory, but then have found that makes some things difficult.
      Primarily I'd just love some M2 mounting holes, or even notches that can clip into a 3D printed case. That's a very insignificant feature request though!

These boards then have easy mounting for 3d printed cases. The only down side is the buttons etc are hidden, but we don't want anyone pushing the buttons anyway. Also the space between the socket headers has some room for the interface stuff. The Pico Max may be a good alternative to the WT32-ETH modules.

But it's important to note that if you use a UVC device such as a USB camera you likely won't be able to use the ISP processing for object detection/recognition, encoding, etc. You'd be subject to the V4L2 tools and similar.

      Yeah Pico Max/Pro/Plus all quite similar, just slight RAM/CPU differences.
      For the USB, it can be in host or device mode, and is not just power. So you can either use it like that, or use a USB hub with power passthrough (as I usually do), else you can just power it from the VBUS and GND pins - these literally connect straight to the USB-C power rails. Ref: wiki.luckfox.com/Luckfox-Pico/Luckfox-Pico-GPIO
      You can only use the Luckfox cameras with these boards though. I am working on an adapter for it, but the Luckfox MIPI-CSI connection uses a non-standard pin order unfortunately.
      I hope that helps!

    My nephew works for google, so he's always raving about AI this, and AI that. It's a bit of a dick fest really, the younger generation challenging us old farts. Needless-to-say, next time I go back home, I have to be completely up to snuff on all things AI. Lots to learn.
    What would I use the LuckFox for? It would help me keep the young whipper snapper in check, so I can maintain some dignity, next time he drones on and on about what a fantastic job google is doing with AI.
    What? You thought I'd be monitoring birds or something?

      @@PlatimaTinkers Of course ... I meant it rhetorically. I restated the question which you asked, and then answered it.
      As for the AI, I agree with you to a point. For consumers, I'm pretty sure it's nothing but hype. Uses include enhanced web searching, smart assistant devices etc., which we mostly already have. For big companies, governments, police and the military ... I'm much more concerned about the uses it will be put to. Big Brother types of things. The only consistent message is that it either 'will' or 'will not' cost a lot of people their jobs, depending on who is being asked. For me personally, not much of an up side, and potentially a huge down side.
      But I'm not making a big distinction between 'AI' and 'machine vision.' Both of these use essentially the same tools for pattern matching and prediction, just on different sets of data. Do a search on 'Lavender AI' to see how israel is using AI to create 'target lists' from the tens of thousands of people the system monitors. I won't get into my political views here. Suffice to say, this system definitely uses machine vision for facial recognition etc. If it's not the same thing, there is certainly a lot of overlap.
      So for me ... all of this is both fascinating and concerning at the same time.

    • @PlatimaTinkers
      @PlatimaTinkers  5 днів тому

      Hey yep that's just due to Rockchip using a different libc than is supported by Ubuntu, so their RKNN toolkit/SDK only runs on buildroot.
      If you're wanting additional packages in buildroot you can quickily and easily cut your own images and flash it, then pretty any package you desire can be included: github.com/LuckfoxTECH/luckfox-pico
      Else, you can always cross-compile from your system and copy it over: wiki.luckfox.com/Luckfox-Pico/Luckfox-Pico-SDK

    Do you think these/milkv duo would work for an autonomous surveillance drone?or would it be better to use a board with more memory?

    • @PlatimaTinkers
      @PlatimaTinkers  5 місяців тому +1

      I think 128MB and above is plenty. As you could see it was only using 9-24MB of the ~190MB doing nothing. Plenty of headroom to run web server, comms apps, etc. With the Milk-V you could also make use of the 2x RV64 cores, and have one core with the UI, and the RTOS core running the drone firmware you write.
      Memory is usually chewed up by processing media on the CPU, which these do in the ISP, so the CPU and most RAM is left there doing nearly nothing.
