Amazing episode. Sam nearly lost control of the show in the most amazing way.

“Here begins a new life.”

Sometimes there’s no real resolution. Just moving forward.

Voyager Gothic’s a fun piece, but for what it’s worth, Latent Image does a good job of putting us in the Doctor’s shoes holo emitters.

“Who you going to save Doc, the eternal ensign we all know and love, or the person who’s apparently been here the whole time but just hasn’t left a huge impression?”

Experience Bij!

I see toasted tortillas? I upvote.

I still love how Jellico’s changes were all just stealth excuses for cast requests.

That being said, a four shift rotation is absurd.

I managed to quit vi once, I’m not recreating that experience again. IJKL all the way. Same hand and positions as the arrow keys, just without having to move your arm.

I’m running out the door, so sorry for keeping this a little terse. Just wanted to throw out some things for you to potentially look into with regards to your USB-C port in case you were about to send this PCB off for fabbing.

1 - Consider including an ESD Protection chip. It’s a small IC which you pass your data lines through. It can help protect your microcontroller in case there’s some static electricity in the cable you’re plugging in.

2 - There’s a variety of different detection mechanisms and handshakes in USB-C to identify the amount of power a USB-C device supports. Adding a pair of 5.1K resistors to the CC1 and CC2 pins on your USB-C port will definitively tell the device on the other end that your keyboard is a simple USB 2 device and should get a nice chill 5V. Some devices will default to providing 5V is CC1 and CC2 are left floating, but others are more picky. Adding the two 5.1K resistors will help make sure you don’t run into any trouble with a USB-C to USB-C cable.

3 - I’m less confident on the specifics of this one, so maybe do a bit of research yourself. Most of the USB-C implementations I’ve seen on keyboards tie the redundant pins on the USB-C port together. I believe some of these are only connected when the cable’s face up, and others are only connected when the cable’s face down. Routing them together on your board will make sure you don’t run into any trouble with cheap USB-C to USB-A cables.

Here’s a quick example of those three items in action. (Ignore the weird vias and disconnected ground nets. I deleted the fill to make it easier to read.)

Sorry to post and run. Hope that helps!

“Years ago, the ideals of Starfleet called a young girl from the far side of the galaxy to service.” “Find those ideals inside yourself.”

I still can’t get over how good a job Strange New Worlds did with “Ad Astra Per Aspera”. It’s a brief moment during the closing statements, but I like how distant they framed Una. The show clearly knows how small and helpless one can feel when their existence comes under scrutiny of the law. Depicting Number One in that position was incredibly striking.
