If the encoder is powered from 5V and open-collector, you only need a single pull-up to the Teensy 3.3V supply. It it's output is push-pull you will need a divider from the encoder output to the Teensy - I can't tell from your diagram where...

Well you have lowercase filename despite the comment saying uppercase only... No idea if that's the issue, but it leaps out of the page...

This is the benefit of open source, you can look inside.

Yes, it just needs porting, which may not involve very much. Any hardware-specific stuff would need mapping to the Teensy hardware. From what I see its just reading a serial packet stream and driving some servos.

My first choice for documentation is the .h file itself... At least that should be upto date for the library version... And then I would look at the .cpp file for more details.

The K&H breadboards with 6 way rows (like the AD14 I use a lot) are my go-to well made breadboards, 6-way are so much more usable than 5-way especially when plugging in 0.6" wide devices like a Teensy...

Sonoma 14.4.1 currently, have another machine that's Yosemite 10.10.5, but I don't really expect support for that, its 10 years old and the keyboard has some issues (ESC key completely gone, 'N' sometimes doesn't work!)

My take on a basic piezo circuit, relies on 10k's being high enough to protect the input, low enough to prevent too much analog pin cross-talk: It might not ideal with long leads to the piezo element though - might be better with a stiffer...

Probably my take is that a hardware library should always be written non-blocking, optionally with a narrow shim of blocking methods on top for those happy to busy-wait for hardware. You could even add a parameter to the blocking calls something...

I repeat the piezo sensor is a capacitor so you need to define the DC voltage across it, otherwise it will be at an arbitrary voltage. If for instance you connect two 1M resistors to A0, one to GND and one to Vcc, you'll define the resting...

Can't really figure out your piezo circuit from that description - do you have a schematic? Piezo's are capacitive and shouldn't be left floating, normally a high value resistor(s) is needed to define the quiescent voltage from them. Usually in...

That's because they are not in the update method - update runs as a low priority software interrupt IIRC, so you need a critical section to change the variables that affect it atomically, but interrupt handlers are automatically atomic critical...

No you haven't missed anything, there are only 4 possible microstep settings for standalone, 8/16/32/64, because only 2 pins are available to configure it. For non-standalone see table 5.3.2 and the MRES control register, which gives full...

AudioConnection myNewPatchCord(); Surely that declares a function called myNewPatchCord that returns an AudioConnection object. Try AudioConnection myNewPatchCord;

Updating firmware is not a normal case, once its finished and working you stop doing it, so perhaps don't wear the headphones while uploading code? Perhaps the update is toggling some pins connected to the audio adapter leading to this, or its...

Lots of stray inductance causing signal quality issues? - try shorter wires and bunched together tightly to reduce the large loop areas you currently have.

Why is it a problem?

Audio library on every Teensy, much faster on T4's of course!

20MHz is pretty fast for working with in software... Perhaps you could just about get a boxcar average to work on that as the first filter stage - depends how important anti-aliasing performance is to you. IIRC sinc3 does small cascaded boxcars...

Yes that's fine - although it would be called in-line, not in series as that means something very specific in electronics (!). Keep the wires short and direct if possible to reduce the chance of signal degradation. Any pins not connected will...

Depends how the interrupt is 'disabled' - if a higher priority is set for interrupts I think it should only defer for when the priority is reduced again, if the individual specific interrupt is disabled in the mask then clearly it should not...

Are all pins either OUTPUT or INPUT_PULLUP as required to minimize pad power drain? Floating inputs can drain current.

Some time in 2038 I think for 2^31 seconds past 1970... With 64 bits you can have microsecond precision and last 250 thousand years or so...

Searching for arm_dot_prod_q7 shows it does indeed exist. In CMSIS the floating-point and fixed-point types are indicated by f16, f32, f64, q31, q15, q7 in the function name... But check the documentation, you might not be wanting fixed-point...

Technically now() wasn't called inside printf - all the arguments are computed first, then the call is made. I suspect this is because time_t is a wider type than you expected, ie long long. Try %llu instead of %lu ?? Did you turn on compiler...

Shame their front page shows nothing useful unless you happen to scroll down! I'd call that a classic blunder of style over content, literally...

Another possibility is to use a programmable clock generator chip. Or a DDS tone generator like the AD9850? That's going to have more than enough precision and low jitter too.

This is the 8080 interface? just /WR to write (command or data), just /RD to read data. D/C has to be correct too. However this chip seems to have separate address and data busses, so no D/C pin? I think the diagram that confuses is because it...

What type of synth? Additive, subtractive or FM?

Can you provide a diagram of the geometry - buzzers simply have electrodes on either side so the electric field strength is high with low voltage due to the thinness of the plate. So I don't understand the comment "The film also has to be a...

I'd agree, randomized user ids are suspect...

1/4" to 3.5mm adpators are available in both directions...

This is a cross-post, see thread: https://forum.pjrc.com/index.php?threads/uart-logic-level.75766/

Are you needing duplex serial or only simplex? There are some chips that can do 1.8V->3.3V level translation, but maybe someone does a module that can level shift in both directions 1.8V <-> 3.3V these days? Perhaps some of the 3.3V <-> 5V also...

Whoops, I meant HCT in fact, sorry about that.

The sensitivity pattern of a microphone is due the the mechanical design mainly. Some condener mics are actually two diaphragms back-to-back that can be switch-selected to add or cancel to provide several different patterns.

If you use a 74HC14 to buffer the signal, feed it to one inverter, then use that to drive the 5 others in parallel (net result no inversion and very strong 5V output drive). [ The 74HC family is powered from 5V but its inputs work with TTL...

Baudrate, parity, stop bits all match? You have ground return?

Perhaps go back to basics with the FIR filter example?

Ironically this would be so much simpler using analog microphones wired to a central logger...

The different Teensy's will be clocking at slightly different rates as well, since there is variability in crystals. Why not synchronize by injecting a small short electrical pulse into the microphone analog signal simultaneously for each of...

Its the CMOS power consumption equation, P = nfCV^2, where n is the number of signals, f is the frequency they change at, C is the capacitance per signal, V is the supply voltage. So 8 signals at 100MHz driving 20pF at 3.3V must dissipate at...

Which makes perfect sense when you realize the low impedance headphone amp will take significant current from the supplies under load, imposing a current signal on them. The resistance of the bond-wires and on-chip power distribution...

Surely the kick-back suppression (free-wheel) diode doesn't need to be a fast one. All diodes switch _on_ before the forward voltage reaches even 10's of volts - you're not going to see destructive voltage spikes even with a lowly 1N4001...

Or put more concisely a callback is a function, not a method. If you are using classes and methods you always need some global variable holding a pointer to an instance if you want a callback (or interrupt come to that) to run a method - there...

Please provide details of your display, the way you have wired everything up.

Capacitive pickup, or perhaps some breakthrough via the power rails? BTW you really ought to scale the axes properly so the numbers are sensible. Also where does the 900000 high peak come from even with 16 bit values where the range is...

What happens if you short the line inputs to ground? I'd expect almost no breakthough in that condition. Leaving them floating will allow a little 10kHz pickup through capacitive coupling.

I hope you have connected headphones to the headphone output of the Audio adapter... Its the only output capable of driving a heavy load like that. Conversely if you want to pass a signal to an amplifier or other audio input, _never_ use the...

Its a common mistake to use too much solder with SMT - less is indeed more. For flux on the otherhand more is better, so long as you later remove it... Google seems very broken, only throws up a handful of matches for "peg and paste" for some...
