Why Use Data Build Tools (dbt)

Why Use Data Build Tools (dbt) - Lemmy.World

Time and again I see the same questions asked: “Why should I use dbt?” or “I don’t understand what value dbt offers”. So I thought I’d put together an article that touches on some of the benefits, as well as putting together a step through on setting up a new project (using DuckDB as the database), complete with associated GitHub repo for you to take a look at. Having used dbt since early 2018, and with my partner being a dbt trainer, I hope that this article is useful for some of you. The link is paywall bypassed.

Offline listening and speaking bot - Lemmy.World

Hi all, For those wanting a quick repo to use as a basis to get started, I’ve created jen-ai. There are full instructions in the readme. Once running you can talk to it, and it will respond. It’s basic, but a place to start.

It’s running on 2x BlackPills, with hotswap sunset orange switches. The two halves are connected by an ultra thin CAT6 patch cable. It’s the first keyboard I’ve built with backlights, so quite happy that it worked as planned.

The 2x OLED displays are still a work in progress

The pain of realising you got your PCB wrong, and need to use two pins earmarked for the LCD for the TX & RX to allow the sides to communicate :-(

Hoping for guidance on custom split QMK using Blackpill

Hoping for guidance on custom split QMK using Blackpill - Lemmy.World

Hi all, I’m hoping for some troubleshooting tips. I have a self-build split keyboard using Blackpills. If I flash either side with ‘SPLIT_KEYBOARD = no’ in my rules.mk [http://rules.mk], then both sides work fine (but both working as the left side). If however I set ‘SPLIT_KEYBOARD = yes’, then both sides stop working. It’s driving me insane! These are the relevant details of rules.mk [http://rules.mk]: MCU = STM32F401 BOOTLOADER = stm32-dfu SPLIT_KEYBOARD = yes SERIAL_DRIVER = usart And config.h: #pragma once #define HAL_USE_SERIAL TRUE #define SOFT_SERIAL_PIN A12 #define MASTER_LEFT #define MATRIX_ROWS 6 #define MATRIX_COLS 6 #define SERIAL_USART_DRIVER SD1 #define SERIAL_USART_TX_PAL_MODE 7 And halconf.h: #pragma once #define SERIAL_USB_BUFFERS_SIZE 256 #include_next And mcuconf.h: #pragma once #include_next #undef STM32_SERIAL_USE_USART1 #define STM32_SERIAL_USE_USART1 TRUE Please help! I’ve been at this for three days.

OpenSCAD Question on bezel

OpenSCAD Question on bezel - Lemmy.world

I created a 2d surface that I can perform a linear extrusion on, however the result it obviously a hard edge on the extrusion. I would love to be able to add a bezel - either rounded or at 45 degrees. Is there an easy way?

Any OpenSCAD whiz available to provide some advice? - Lemmy.world

I’ve got the basics down, but now looking to do something more complex, and unsure if it’s possible. I have imported a flat shape (a pcb), and I can extrude this out. What I want to do however is to rotate it on its axis, and then extrude it down the z-axis (not directly out from the surface). Is this possible, and if so, how?

Is there such a thing as an online pcb tester? As in ‘here is my pcb design, when I connect this, I expect it to register as a circuit on these two pins’
