Veritasium wrong about faster than wind directly down wind.
This video is in replay to Veritasium video about the Blackbird vehicle that claims to drive directly downwind faster than wind using no energy storage and being directly powered by wind witch will be impossible. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Hol57vTIkE
Just a short video about the look of the new Solar BMS.
There will soon be a Kickstarter for this new version (4 different variants)
SBMS100 (120A overcurrent limit for both charging and discharging dual PV input)
SBMS65 (80A overcurrent single PV input)
SBMS40 (48A overcurrent dual PV input)
SBMS25 (32A overcurrent single PV input)
The 3D rendering was done in Blender 3D
I will soon be able to give much more info.

I show the small 64x48 graph that I want to use on the SBMS100 it will probably be 60x48 active resolution so that can display the last minute with 1 second resolution and the last hour with 1 minute resolution and a third one for last 12 or 18h did not decide as of now need to think about that.
There will probably be multiple small graphs like this on one page (no problem since it takes just under 6ms to update one of them) and there will probably be a zoom function to display a larger graph if needed still need to think on how I implement all this.
There will be 7 ADC inputs available one is differential that will be used to monitor the battery current (charge and discharge) then another two of the single ended will be used to monitor the PV1 and PV2 inputs and the other 4 of them will be available to user for automations measuring external loads or anything else you can think off.
On the side that 8x is the PGA (programmable gain amplifier gain) it starts with that max 8x and will auto-range based on the input signal down to 0.5x
I think auto ranging works correctly I will need to test more.

This is my Kickstarter video for the Open Source Solar Battery Management System SBMS4080 development board.
The 3D animation is done in Blender 3D and rendering with Cycles. 3D render is not acceptable for Kickstarter so I have another video for that.
You can share this video on your channel with the below description:
______________________________________________________
Open Source Programmable Solar BMS development board for any type of rechargeable Lithium cells and supercapacitors.
This is for educational purposes only not meant to be used as a finished product it will also come with video tutorials so you can learn how to program a microcontroller (ARM cortex M0) and HW design including PCB layout using Kicad.
You can see more details on this video of the beta sample

and there will be soon an announcement for the Kickstarter campaign with a video announcement on my youtube channel

Just a short video with the latest library for the ILI9341 to be used on the SBMS100 project.
As you seen in my last video this test was taking 84.326 seconds no DMA and no Optimization (I used Optimization None -O0) and if I add Optimization Level -O1 I can get the same library without DMA at 47.207 seconds (that is really great).
Adding DMA without optimization -O0 gets the test done in 49.150 seconds while adding -O1 to the DMA version gets 33.712 as you see in this video.
Compared to original library this is about 30x faster and now really as good as it can get at 40MHz CPU and 20MHz SPI.
SPI is full there is nothing more to optimize at this point.

Experimental evidence that the direct downwind faster than the wind cart uses stored energy to temporarily exceed wind speed and so it is not powered by wind while at and above wind speed.
The is a debunk video in response to Derek Muller (Veritasium) explanation of how such a vehicle works.
You are free to use any part of this video if you want to critique or do a better job explaining how this sort of vehicles works.

This is a hardware review of the Snowball microphone from Blue all audio tests where done in Ubuntu 10.10.
You can see that this microphone is using the CM6317A IC and 1kbit 128x8 EEPROM it also uses two 14mm condenser microphone probably they are Blue proprietary.
The hardware dose not look to bad and the audio quality is OK for most situation is a fix 16bit 44100Hz.
The snowball weight is 410g + 253g for the tripod so a total of 660g without the USB cable.
This video was captured with the Panasonic DMC-G10 at 720p 30fps

500W 24V brushless hub motor max 165RPM high torque. You can also see two 120W Winmate ATX power supply that power the motor.
Song is from Youtube "free" audio library and the name of the song is Speed Trap by DJ Armbuster Lewis.
